We got the chance to check out the co-op mode and after putting nearly 100 hours, we have to say, it’s one of the best city building-strategy experiences we’ve had in a long time. Anno 1800 co-op allows players to share the responsibilities of raising and managing an industrial empire with up to four people per team, with four team slots, there can be matches up to 16 players. It’s beyond just playing together, two players against the world of pirates or others in their multiplayer lobby, with their own resources. From the campaign to multiplayer, there is a lot to do in the world of Anno 1800 but with the recently launched co-op mode, you get to do it with someone else.

All of this makes for an immersive game and the fact that it runs in real-time adds an additional challenge. Additionally, with the newest expansion, you even get to settle the harsh cold Arctic north. Sickness, riots, fire, all of them impact your gameplay and you have to find ways to keep their happiness satiated while also keeping production up.Īnno 1800 facilitates the need for expansion to the New World by intertwining the necessities of more advanced population tiers in the Old World reliant on goods from the jungles of South America. Additionally, you have to deal with situations caused by the population. With settlements situated on islands of varying sizes, just expanding isn’t the answer, but finding ways to optimize your resources is. The game moves quickly, while you navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape that causes you to adjust your focus on certain production and harvesting aspects, you also need to manage your space. As you travel the world and settle new islands you must manage your fortune, your production, your population, and their needs. If you haven’t played Anno 1800 before, it sets you at the dawn of the Industrial Age where players take charge as they settle an island and lead it from small port town to a city in a growing empire.
