It’s great to learn on, and the recent upgrade improves the speed. Looking forward to expansion packs.

I find Kolonists to be a much more enjoyable and satisfying game. I own both and I’m going to keep it that way. But for me, Kolonists gets played 10 times to every one time I play SoC.

I love to play the game but I honestly think playing it at the table is much more fun.

I don’t mind the speed (after all it is a boardgame AI simulation there), I do mind the “computer player banter” and that the game drinks battery like a very thirsty thing. I mean, I can play Diablo clone Dungeon Hunter for ages before the battery is as drained as after a single game of SoC.

I am a massive Settlers fan but this app is a big disappointment.

The game is far to slow. The creators should compare the speed to the ASO Brain Games desktop version. I can whip through a game of C&K on that in 10 minutes when playing the bots. Obviously it is harder and slower to play on a smaller device but I'm sure they could make gameplay faster.

For starters I would recommend simplifying the graphics. The board looks reasonably pretty but needs much less detail - simple coloured blocks would actually make it much more playable.

Roll on V2...

I know the original Settler of Catan Game (this you play on your Table ), so i don’t understand why to use the multiplayer on the iphone version. If i had to past the iphone arround i also can play the original.

@ Dan Thompson. That's a huge load of wah wah. Kolonist looked like garbage and it was a terrible rip-off.

Your obviously a a nark for these lame garage developers, trying to plant bad comments about Catan!
