The Settlers History Collection

The Settlers - History Collection is a collection of the first 7 main entries in the video game series. The oldest 2 games have simple pixel art but can be well played on a modern monitor. The Settlers - History Collection is easier to get used to than the older originals. Players can go through the traditional settings or take advantage of keyboard shortcuts and mouse handling. 

They can point and click when they want to explore building options or connect road. The core mechanism of the game is town building. Players can increase borders with outposts to expand their territory. They also need to make sure they don’t run out of resources.

Players need food, iron, stones, and other items to survive and build defenses against enemies. Connecting roads is also common in the game as it makes buildings functional. The Settlers - History Collection features multiple campaigns, more battles and a multiplayer mode for some games. Most of the games store expansions with added options and skirmishes. 

Since every game is worth hours of material, this compilation can be enough for those who want to keep playing virtually for a very long time. Multiple games feature a map editor or an option to customize free play. The Settlers - History Collection is proof of how the video game series has endured the test of time. 

If there’s a downside to this compilation, it’s that the publisher only did the simplest work required to create an easy plug & play and functional bundle. Each game is an independently contained entity. Only the final game has special offers such as rewards and exciting challenges.

However, The Settlers - History Collection is still a solid example of an intimate and detailed strategy simulation series that’s securely modified for modern times.
