About

The year is 1849, and gold has just been discovered in California. You decide to head out west, to seek fame and wealth in the approaching Gold Rush. Will you strike gold and become an overnight mining magnate? Or will you build your fortune bit by bit by supplying 49ers with pickaxes and blue jeans? 1849 is a city management game set during the California Gold Rush. Your task is to build towns, populate them with workers, and make sure that they are housed, fed, and entertained. You’ll have to manage and coordinate extensive production and trade networks to make sure your towns thrive.

To its credit, there’s nothing actually broken with 1849. Everything works as it should, and there is an actual game there. So, I’m not saying this is unplayable, or even that there’s nothing entertaining about it. There is fun to be had here. It’s just that, in my opinion, the amusement provided is severely limited by the lack of challenge, the lack of diversity and the low grade graphics and sound.

Stando a quelli che sono al giorno d'oggi i prezzi dei videogiochi PC, dieci dollari paiono davvero troppi per un prodotto che, alla fine della fiera, non trabocca certo di contenuti. Ma sentitevi liberi di segnarvi il titolo in attesa dei prossimi saldi.
