✓ Like Medieval Dynasty, it's known for deep simulation, sandbox freedom and strong narrative focus
≠ Its own twist: real-time strategy, setting scifi and visual isometric, while skipping deep RPG systems
This is the fifth game in a series of Anno games.
The game genre remains unchanged - this is a real-time strategy with a variety of elements from other genres included in it: from the city construction and management simulator to submarine battles.
Where it drifts furthest from Medieval Dynasty: setting and visuals.
On reception: its Steam reviews are mixed, against very positive for Medieval Dynasty.
It predates Medieval Dynasty by 10 years, with what that implies technically.
