Short review on Ikariam - Civilization type MMO

[Jayngfet]

Wrong section.

Anyone on beta server need allies? I have crystal and wine.

I played this game for like 3 months or so. Its kinda of cool but totally repetitive. You basically do the same thing over and over.

Anybody on the Eta Server?

I play (Epsilon and Zeta) ... it's fun, but not revolutionary quality.

It's a little repetitive, but hey, what video game isn't? :smallwink:

The sound thing is pretty forgivable, as it's designed to be a game people play sneakily at work (which I'm not endorsing), and any kind of sound effects would obviously be a liability.

I wouldn't have given the graphics 8/10, though. They're quite static, not terribly detailed, and don't adapt to what you do at all. In particular, buildings should look at least a little bit different depending on where in your town you build them (at least mirror image capabilities). Instead, you get weirdness like a building's corner sticking out over a cliff, or your "town statue's" head disappearing under a nearby building when you start upgrading the building.

The company sends you tons of unsolicited emails. I played for a few weeks and still get emails from them. Thankfully on my throwaway address I use to sign up for stuff, but still, beware.
