After its release on PC earlier this year, Ubisoft has finally released the console version of The Settlers: New Allies for all platforms including the Nintendo Switch.
As previously stated, this is the latest entry in the classic RTS series that also reboots the entire series. Players can look forward to 13 campaign missions, 13 multiplayer skirmish maps (PvP and PvE) and a hardcore mode for added challenge.
The standard edition will set you back $59.99
“Developed by Ubisoft Düsseldorf, The Settlers®: New Allies is a modern take on the long-established The Settlers franchise, combining elaborate infrastructure and economic gameplay with real-time tactical battles. Starting with a small group of settlers, players must explore their environment, build their settlements and optimize resource production to recruit new settlers and an army that can protect their land. Researching economic and military improvements is essential to building a strong military and overcoming adversaries.”
On Switch, downloading this game will require approx 6.7 GB
Unfortunately, there are some minor technical flaws in the Nintendo Switch version of the game:
– When disconnecting from multiplayer, Nintendo Switch players will not be able to reconnect.
– Connecting Residences will not show a visual connection between buildings (archways, etc.). This does not affect gameplay.
– In 4vs4 Skirmish matches, all players will be limited to 250 units (down from 500).
