Adelantado Trilogy. Book one Reviews

The game play itself is fun and runs smoothly. However-I cannot in good conscience recommend this game to others for two glaring reasons; Whitewashing of history and blatant racism in the sense of totally oblivious and ignorant (ignorant here in the true sense of the word rather than a insult) rather than maliciously intended which is the only reason I am even willing to look into these games at all. The game portrays the natives as clueless helpless people who don't care about the resources around them and openly welcomed and cheered the conquistadors as helpful companions who they are just so glad are there to help them out. Yeah, not joking at all here. I wish i was, There is problem #1. Problem 2: The 'cavemen' they have randomly jump out of holes in a sort of nod to lost world fantasy? dragging clubs with low brows, that whole low IQ look as they set out to demolish your buildings? All black. Yeah. Again not in the intentionally malicious style but just developers who somehow were totally oblivious. Again the game itself is fun, but the sheer disregard for history and issues related to color and race mean I cannot recommend this game series for any reason to anyone and especially not to a younger audience even though the game play itself is worthwhile and engaging. It is a real shame that whoever made this game series is either totally clueless or simply did not care of how this would be viewed as a series. I am writing this review in hopes the developer may take a deeper look and maybe release a better version someday, Doubtful given the age of this game series, but if nothing else maybe they will tread more carefully in future.
