Catan Universe Review
Graphics
Catan Universe boasts neat and polished graphics in cardboard-textured artwork that beautifully reproduces the look and feel of the classic board game. The game is well optimized and will run on most low-end laptops.
Gameplay
Enjoy turn-based tactical gameplay at its best. Each round brings you one type of resource or more based on the number drawn and the settlements you may have on the corresponding tile, and each round lets you trade with other players for resources you may not have, but need in order to expand and upgrade your settlements for the win. A great mix of strategy and luck involved.
Replay value
Catan Universe is just as fun to play and replay as is its cardboard counterpart. In its current freemium version, the replay value of Catan Universe may appear limited at first as some features can only be unlocked temporarily by leveling up, but this can actually make playing more rewarding.
Free-to-play model
The F2P version grants you access to the basic board game in multiplayer (free-matches versus 2 other human players), as well as the introductory game of Catan – The Duel. It also grants you a bonus of 100 Gold and 2 Scrolls up for account creation and login which can be used to unlock expansions for a limited time and to gain full access to Auto-Match, Single-player and Custom-Matches, with more scrolls unlockable by leveling up.
