> The sad thing is that the mobile platform should, in theory, be ideal for strategic games and builder games like Anno, Settlers, etc. All implementations of this genre however rely on, after a few hours of playing, increasing build-times of buildings to multiple hours, or days, but allowing you to finish the building instantly with in-game currency.
The version of Settlers I played on the iPad a few years ago is absolutely nothing like that. It was almost a straight port, and the touch screen actually made for a great experience.

- k__ 7y agoInteresting, I'd expected games like Settlers to be bad to play on a tablet because RTS with your hand constantly in the way of the screen would seem bad for me. X4 games, on the other hand, are pre-destined for tablet.
- oneeyedpigeon 7y agoThere’s an element of that, of course - and, bear in mind, I am talking about several years ago - but I found the easy scrolling and pinch-to-zoom counteracted any problems caused by obstruction.
