It is all about a lack of creativity and experience at game design, I guess, and how Ubisoft does not know on how to handle and check bad game designs internally. Let's hope that Hagedorn or Ubisoft do not try to create a SimCity MOBA game next. Settlers New Allies would probably be better off as an experimental game as its own new IP, I guess, like Champions of Anteria. The influence of MOBAs and some competitive RTS is there, but Hagedorn, the design team, or whoever is or was in charge, clearly does not understand those genres. Lore and factions do not matter at this point. I recall the early demo where they were different. I didn't finish it, but do all scenes play in the same room, between the same 3 characters? The factions. The campaign is awful and unimaginative. But I think that these points are to be expected, if the original Settlers formula does not play a role anymore. We could go into detail regarding the horrible AI wave attacks, the surprisingly ugly UI, or how a baker is still baking without water, in terms of supply chains. If you need a base/colony builder, play Foundation or Farthest Frontier, to name a few. There is not much left of the chilling colony/settlement building game mechanics. Ubisoft's desire to create a new PvP game type probably led to that LoL female announcer voice, which feels not only odd but, if you know Dota 2 or LoL, is just awkward and bad. We can take bets if Hagedorn's ego is mainly responsible for both game failures. Did you know that some Christian Hagedorn is the game's director, but apparently, the game designer behind Champions of Anteria from 2016 which originally also started as a Settlers game. I do not think that Ubisoft, with all its mismanagement and release fails of the past years, can handle innovation at this point. It is not a Settlers game, obviously, but a few points are: - It is 5/10 because I appreciate the experiment. Did you know that some Christian Hagedorn is the After 10 h, I am confident to say that it is a bad game. After 10 h, I am confident to say that it is a bad game.
