Hello, guys as many of you loyal fans of Ubisoft knows they introduced a free browser-based game called Anno Online, which provide a style alike The Settlers. The meaning is that you have to build your city up, from a little village to a large city. I started playing this game when we received a mail from Ubisoft, i thought that it sounded interesting so i just went directly to it, and as always i like to do it myself so i skipped the tutorial. I really regret that i skipped it so i took on the help option again.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very simple, you see the land from above you just place buildings and roads like it was a normal strategy game.

To the right you see a picture of how it looks like when you control the city, you can pick an resource to every house, example if you are low on fish you can make them use wool. You start out with a little area of land where you can build a little village, but you can buy more land if you need to expand more. There is this thing i see as very difficult i can't build more storage buildings. So i'm having a giant overcome, which i find as a very bad thing cause i can't even build a mine. I played The Settlers once, and i literally sucked, so when i came in Anno i found it very hard and its very simple actually, but you need to have a good vision over your city.

Graphics

The graphics are actually very good of a game like this, its not often in-browser games got a graphic like this.
There isn't actually more to say than its a graphic like Age Of Empires III and The Settlers if you haven't seen those games before i highly recommend you to try them.

Advantages/Disadvantages

Advantages:

• Browser game

• The servers is sometimes offline
• It can be boring over time

Final Comment

This game is okay, i would put it in the category ''average'' but remember, it's still in beta. I'll hope it will get improved a lot more. I would say that Ubisoft made a good job, but i've seen better.
