1849 – Preview and Interview | GamingLives
GamingLives takes a look at the prospecting strategy title from SomaSim, which is a Sim City and Civilization style game set in the time of the great gold rush.
"The American Wild West is a largely untapped goldmine for gaming. A few standout hits such as Red Dead Redemption aside, the golden age of revolvers, horse riding and wide-brimmed hats has mostly been passed over in favour of yet another zombie game. Thankfully, 1849, a city management game soon to be released on PC and tablets, is here to redress the balance. Set during the California Gold Rush, 1849 is a city management game in the mould of classics such as Sim City and Civilization."
