Resolution: Commander: Conquest of the Americas review

Resolution's Mike Rose writes: Building on the foundations set out by last year’s strategy trading title East India Company, Nitro Games once again invites us to sail the seas and conquer the coasts in spiritual sequel Commander: Conquest of the Americas. This time around, however, the emphasis is less on blowing other ships apart on the high seas and more on claiming the New World as your own through clever colony expansion and strategic diplomacy.

While Commander attempts – and generally succeeds – to resolve some of the issues that held EIC back, it also brings its own unique problems to the table. Even so, there is some solid RTS gaming to be found here, with genuinely exciting ideas on show. Whether or not you can let some of the more tedious details slide will inevitably determine how much satisfaction Commander provides.
