    Game has potential , when they want to finish it; As it now , even with both DLC s Trade and battle are serious flawed; You cannot trade with others except your home town in Europe, Battle speed various between 2 and 3 knots even though ships description it can do more , fleeing speed , the same; A real shame they dont seem to be able to fix that even after 2 DLC s;

    This game may be enjoyable to those who will want to invest a large amount of time in to something that tends to crawl at a very slow pace. Trade mechanics are solid and the naval battles are ok but after a while it gets quite repetitive and feels like you have nothing to do.

    A real lack of a basic guide will mean you will miss things which are required in some cases.

  1. The Age of Discovery has enough excitement and intrigue to fill a hundred video games, just not this timid and repetitive strategy game.
  2. Quotation forthcoming.
  3. The game is a little short and void of replay value. The structure may not appeal to hardcore sim enthusiasts.
