ARA HISTORY UNTOLD - The Good, The Bad & The UGLY

Ara History Untold is the new civilization competitor, the 'civ killer' the new grand strategy game that in reality is much closer to a blend of Anno 1800 and Civilization 5. Ara History Untold brings some interesting new innovations and challenges to the genre, including a rich economic system of goods and amenity supporting a deeper simulation of city happiness, prosperity, and health.

However Ara: History Untold also has some weaknesses - including its at times confusing and overly complex UI, the very weak AI, and some significantly reported performance woes, bugs, and balance issues. The introduction of killer Acts and simultaneous turns bring some neat innovations but also some ugly downsides.

In this video I'll give you my first impressions review of Ara History Untold, the new civ-like strategy game! Thanks for watching!
