### 5/5 — Mega Echtzeit Strategiespiel

*2024-12-22, version 0.31*

Richtig gut gemachtes Spiel, macht mega Spaß!

### 5/5 — Settle and Battle

*2024-12-13, version 0.30*

Das Spiel hat viel Potential!. Bin durch YouTube darauf gestoßen weil ich großer Siedler Fan bin. Für das iPhone gibt es leider kein wirkliches RTS aufbauspiel. Grafik muss man mögen aber sehe das nicht so schlimm. Multiplayer Matches wären echt sehr gut.

### 4/5 — Best mobile game in a long time so much potential.

*2024-12-09*

Purchased this game yesterday and I’ve been having great fun getting to grips with how to correctly play the game, if AOE and mobile phone had a baby this would be it. Definitely needs some work in terms of interface and smoother movement. But for a newly released game I don’t have many qualms in terms of fun. I would like more depth int terms of units though, variety wise and combat wise. Great game overall so far though!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review :) There are many Updates to come that will further improve UI/UX, but also adds new content :)

### 2/5 — I bought it and reviewed it so you didn’t have to!

*2024-12-09*

Game idea is good. Controls - 2/5.. really don’t like the way the controls are set.. u need hotkeys or Goodluck finding your troops Tutorial - 1/5 seriously this tutorial needs work.. half the time it’s the cause of the user interface and lack of information that I just don’t understand this game. User interface - 1/5 as mentioned above, I have trouble moving around the map without accidentally double clicking. And what is worse is that when I click on a building, I need to scroll my screen up to read what the heck the building says (please scale it down so when we click on a building we don’t need to move the screen up to read it) Voice acting - 1/5 sorry to say, I know this part is redundant but it sounds very…. How to say this.. budget film voice acting. Maybe it’s the script idk. I suggest holding off on the game until it’s further polished with updates that aid what have been a horrible experience for me. And how the heck do we even build troops?… it’s not clear at all!! I’ll give u 2 stars out of 5 and here is why. I like that u have 6 factions, I feel at that alone still lacks a bit more of content.. I haven’t played the other factions yet but so far the models look alike. I like that the Game is also running on real time rather than 4x Also please let the screen rotate to orientation.. really annoying that it’s only stuck in 1 position.

Sorry let me correct my missed sentence. I meant to say that I like that it’s rts and not 4x!!

I hope to see the future updates, I think some tooltips for the buildings and such may help with the tutorial, I just didn’t know that it automatically makes troops.. but also because I don’t understand what is required for it to make troops, and came into a few blockage in the game because my civilians weren’t doing anything (probably food capped)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback on my game. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

I understand your concerns about the controls and user interface. I'm actively working on addressing these issues and plan to implement significant improvements in future updates. Your feedback on screen rotation is also valuable and I'll explore options for adding this feature.

It's a bit challenging for the tutorial to address both, players with experience in the strategy genre and complete newbies, but I'll have a look into refining this.

The game's description clearly states that it's a real-time strategy game, and not a 4X, RT4X or turn-based strategy. While I understand that this might not align with your personal preferences, I believe it's important to review a game based on its intended genre and design.

However, thank you for your feedback on the other aspects of the game.

### 3/5 — Noch sehr buggy…

*2024-12-04, version 0.14*

…aber auf einem guten Weg.

### 5/5 — Ehrwürdiger Nachfolger

*2024-12-04, version 0.14*

Ich habe bereits Teil 1 gespielt und finde, dass Settle and Battle: New Empires ein super Nachfolger geworden ist. Der Grafikstil gefällt mir mega gut, ist in meinen Augen ein Riesen Upgrade zum ersten Teil. Die ganzen Details auf der Map sorgen auch für ein abgerundetes Bild. Der Mix aus Strategie und Aufbau ist super gelungen. Das Spiel fühlt sich an wie ein richtig vollwertiges RTS, auch auf dem Handy. Das schöne ist, dass man das Game sowohl schnell mal zwischendurch spielen kann, sich aber auch in längeren Matches verlieren kann. Wer gerne Strategie Spiele spielt, sollte unbedingt mal reinschauen. Vielleicht kommt ja irgendwann noch ein Multiplayer?
