The problem is, I can sometimes save it on my own. My gaming computer (4 months old) can access it but constantly has save game crashes that have been known since release with no update in sight. My husband can't even access the game without crashing. However, it's unplayable for me and my husband. Entertainment: An entertaining simulation and planning/building game that is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy interesting computer games and factoring in your overall survivability in a dangerous, unforgiving world. The game is addicting and the goal is simple, making for a worthwhile experience as well. Playability: Quite an accessible title as command giving goes, and the controls are pretty easy to grasp once you get the hand of them. Sound: All the basic sound effects you would hear in an olden town can be found here, with nothing really out of the ordinary to distinguish them from other games' sounds, aside from knowing what actions are being performed. Could use improvements of course, but run smoothly enough with their lower levels of required power. Graphics: Simple and basic overall, but not terrible in their concept and design. Concept: Build your settlement from the ground up, survive the harsh winters and outbreaks of disease that will inevitably attack it, and attempt to make your way in a simple, deadly world.

The graphics aren't too poorly rendered, the story is relatively slim in content, and the sound effects are mundane at best, but the experience is certainly worthwhile and intuitive for those who enjoy the sort of planning required in staking your claim and defending it in a simulated landscape.

The most crushing and interesting aspect of the war is that you could be winning it all the way until the moment you're suddenly left crippled and defenseless, as your last settler succumbs to old age, disease, or some other unparalleled consequence in the world. Surviving famines, winters, and plague outbreaks are the steps you will have to take in waging your personal war of survival. There is only the ongoing battle against nature and her cruel, cold embrace. There are no wars or deadly encounters with other civilizations here.
