A Great Game -Love it!

I will admit that it takes awhile to figure out and get use to the controls but it is 100% worth it - I am totally addicted AGAIN I remember playing this when I was a kid. They don’t really make a lot games like this anymore it is complicated you have to think and contemplate so many different variables. The game plays out slowly over time instead of bam bam bam, which is a nice contrast to the contemporary games I love. I really love it and am so glad someone adapted it to phone/iPad. I would love the controls to be a little easier but you do get the hang of it after awhile and I almost like the throw back nature of those too. I wish there were an easier way to keep track of things and jump from colony to colony. There might be I seem to discover new tricks all the time. So don’t give up on it bc the controls are complicated and frustrating push through -look up control short cuts online. If you played this way back in “the olden days”you won’t be disappointed just impressed with what a great it always was and still remains.

Controls don’t work

When you go into town view it’s impossible to move workers onto different squares. Game is broken. Will try to get money back. Shame, loved this game on PC

Extremely hard to use

I loved this game as a kid and play FreeCol, the open source clone, on my computer. However, this game is near impossible to play. You have to move your finger to the fake mouse then use that to do anything, it’s totally unclear and difficult. You can’t just click on something and it reacts like you’d expect an app to do. The mouse is really hard to use and bizarre: why even have it? I spent about five frustrating minutes trying to move my ship four spaces and another five to move a guy ashore. It stinks. Very disappointed. This game should be taken off the App Store, it’s a rip off and doesn’t work.

Difficult to impossible to play

With the fake keyboard and pointer, this game is impossible to play. If I could, I would demand my money back.

ANYONE REMEMBER MS DOS???

If you remember MS-DOS from the old personal computers then you remember exactly how to games were on that LOL the Claudia this game is like from MS-DOS

Great except for the controls

Perfect port of the game onto the iOS platform. My only complaint is the controls. It does take a long time to figure things out and is frustrating at times. Fix the controls please. Love this game. I hope to se a Master of Magic port happen in the future.
