The game doesn't get much more exciting than this. For the DS version, three different single player gameplay styles are available: the Roman Campaign, the World Campaign and Freeplay Mode. It's somewhere between a real time strategy game, and a Sim title. Players take control of a settlement, and help the townspeople expand, erecting necessary buildings, finding resources and, as of recently, fighting off enemies. The Settlers, for those unfamiliar, is exactly what it sounds like. This is The Settlers, though! The series is practically classic and has a devoted fanbase, which makes it all the more painful to see it as a terrible bargain game that only one store even wants. That's not to say that all Gamestop exclusives are bad games, though recent evidence would suggest otherwise. Blue Byte developed it, who should know exactly how to handle the franchise it created. The touch screen controls should work well with a real time strategy game. Looking at the facts, The Settlers seems like it should work.
Considering how bad this venture has turned out, this may be the last time Settlers tries to move beyond the keyboard and mouse. With the new Gamestop exclusive Nintendo DS iteration, this is the first time since Settlers 2 that the game has been on anything but the PC. It's seen some changes over the years but it's always essentially been the same Settlers game for all five (soon to be six) versions. The Settlers as a series has been around for over a decade.
