Evony review.
Formally called Civony this browser based game brings you a very basic medieval game in which you create your city and expand your empire. This is really a cross between Age of Empire and a Sim City type game.
You start with following the basic quests given to you which is a tutorial that lasts for seven days building up your city, from cottages to barracks, town hall, farms and works. Each building is time each upgrade is time, hence the meaning running in real-time. I have to say I do get rather bored by this game, there doesn’t seem too much depth to it.
A direct copy of Age of Empire’s is the farming system, collecting food, wood, stone and metal. The same again when building your army.
The landscape is repetitive all over the place. There is no continuity, structure or beauty to this game, the graphics look okay but there is no glamour. There are level changes in the map structure and this doesn’t really happen in reality and shouldn’t happen here. It looks wrong and seems wrong.
A feature of the game is the shopping which is very expensive and isn’t worth spending any of your money on. I don’t want to increase boredom by descressing boredom.
Game score:
1.5 out of 5
