Still, it does feel a bit “on rails” sometimes as with the next step in your town’s development, you unlock new buildings and immediately get a quest that tells you to build said building. However, that part is over now and while I do get a popup for a new quest every once in a while, it’s certainly not that annoying anymore. I felt rushed during the beginning and would have liked a subtler tutorial or a slower pace. Whenever you get a quest, a window pops up and disables everything behind it. So you will not be stuck if you refuse to buy anything for real money at that point! A few of those actually do ask you to buy something from the cash shop but at that point, I already had some of the cash-currency and as a reward for doing the quest, I did receive more of them than I had spent. There are lots of quests guiding you through the game in the beginning. You will immediately get a pop-up window with your first quest asking you to place a building on the island while explaining the mechanics to you. It’s one little icon right next to other little icons that let you manage your island. When you start with the game, the cash shop is certainly not what receives your attention first. On the other hand, this is a closed beta and I don’t know how much of that is final and how it will work once the game’s released. Or items where I’m not sure if you can gather them within the game but it doesn’t matter because you buy these with in-game coins. So far, it’s either things you can definitely get in the game, e.g., wood. There are also things you buy with in-game coins, though.

It also comes with the typical cash shop: You can buy wares and building material for “diamonds” which are in turn bought with real money. It seemed like a typical browser game of your standard building strategy genre.

It reminded me of The Settlers Online, with the exception of not having to dig for mines all the time (thank the asura for that!). My very first impression was that it felt like “yet another browser game”.

That’s always the good thing about browser games: You can play them on the side as they usually don’t need your full attention. I was lucky enough to grab a beta key and have been playing the game while playing Guild Wars 2 in the last few days. The English version will follow soon, according to tweets from the English Twitter account. Unfortunately, I was at work when I got that email, so I had to wait till I got back home in the evening.įor those who have never heard about it before, Anno Online is a browser game that’s currently in closed beta with its German version. I received a beta key for Anno Online a few days ago.
