    The Settlers: New Allies isn't quite the return to Settlers that fans of the franchise would want. Shallow across all areas, with basic city-building and very basic strategy elements, held together by an average narrative. It's not a bad game, but it's also not good.

    The Settlers: New Allies is a game with great presentation and poor execution, It’s $60, but I would struggle to recommend it at even half that price given how lacking in content it is. The gameplay is lagging heavily. Although tightly woven together, it doesn't really matter when there's so little to play with. It’s like being in a sandbox with no toys or tools.

    The Settlers: New Allies is a weird mixed bag of good ideas that never get a chance to be fully enjoyed. The result is nice enough but never feels like it delves as deep and leaves us sorely wanting. So while the game isn’t a bad experience, it just wouldn’t be our first choice when looking for something in this genre or even this franchise.

    A good RTS campaign should pose a very specific challenge in each mission, the way Starcraft II’s original campaign does. You rip up your previous playbook and stroke your chin about how to navigate a new environmental obstacle or resource constraint. There isn’t enough of that here. The scale of the operation you’re managing grows, but it doesn’t feel fresh from one act to the next.

    It’s not a terrible city builder, nor is it a terrible real-time strategy game. It’s just utterly mediocre on both fronts, resulting in a game that fails to please two completely different audiences. The classic case of a jack of all trades, master of none.

    The Settlers: New Allies has a good core loop that, unfortunately, lacks a solid connection with the series' history. There’s too much military action and not enough focus on delivering products to citizens. The land-claiming concept is interesting but under-used.
