So, what did I think of it and what can you expect? Think of them as a mashup of SimCity meets Civilization, with a dash of early WarCraft (minus the Ogres and magic). The History Collection from Ubisoft does exactly what it’s name promises by offering an interesting study of the series from the pixelated days of the Commodore Amiga version to its eventual home on MS-DOS and early home computers. In a nutshell, the Settlers franchise is a civilization-building sim with real-time strategy and economy elements that have to be managed for your citizens to thrive. Unfortunately, The Settlers History Collection doesn’t quite qualify as a complete remastering – or a remastering in any real sense of the word.

Fans should expect prettier versions of Dune, Command & Conquer and Warcraft III soon. Remastering classic RTS (real-time strategy) games has been all the rage recently, with visual updates to legendary series like the original StarCraft and Age of Empires setting the trend. How could I, someone who had never even HEARD of this franchise until recently, even begin to talk about an entire series of games nearly as old as me? Whelp, I started with the first one and worked my way up from there! When Ubisoft released all seven installments of developer Blue Byte’s genre-defining series into one neat package with The Settlers History Collection I can’t lie, it was intimidating to say the least. The series has a long-standing history that has expanded worldwide, with its popularity stretching to the present day.
