Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a very deep gameplay that’s hard to master but fun as hell to pull off once you learn.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I actually prefer these graphics over the 3d graphics of Patrician 4 or Port Royale 4.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you want a real challenge, play with the hardest difficulty and try to do profits with less profitable goods, like beer.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
also: this game, being 20 years old, has multiplayer. nowadays no one wouldn't do that. it's a lot of work and it's risky investment of developers' time. but it has this functionality, just mindblowing.
