Dawn of Discovery Wii & DS Hands-On Preview
We set sail in search of new land in Ubisoft’s upcoming strategy game.
Strategic city-building games have always had a home on the PC, but the Nintendo DS and Wii and their touch screen and pointer capabilities make managing a budding civilization just as easy. Ubisoft is bringing Dawn of Discovery–originally called Anno 1404–to both systems. It’s an easy-to-play strategy game that guides you through the process of exploring and cultivating new lands. We played through the first few chapters of the game to get a feel for the controls, and we liked what we saw. It’s virtually stress-free, which might be considered less challenging to some players, but there’s always a more efficient way of building an empire than just slapping down some huts and dairy farms and hoping that everything takes off.
