The designers have done an admirable job of modeling the hour-to-hour development and progress of your Viking outpost village, creating a detailed system of individual training and social interaction.
Depending on the player's dedication to detail and control, however, Cultures is either an engrossing winner or an irritating exercise in micromanagement.
Those easily irritated will find the level of involvement with each individual member of the village more tedious than interesting.
Rather than feeling you are controlling events, it often seems you are being forced to jump through a lengthy series of hoops to accomplish goals. This gives the game a very slow pace, taking a considerable amount of time just to create a simple settlement. In addition, the campaign scenarios require you rebuild many of the same structures time and again, so the action is not only slow, it's repetitive.
Some may be turned off by the sexist nature of the game as well, with women characters doing little more than making lunches and babies. Whether this is a realistic portrayal of the role of women in a patriarchal Viking society or not, surely the game designers could have come up with a more interesting and less stereotypical division of labor. Graphics: Cultures is appealing, visually, with detailed animated landscapes and behaviors for each of your cute Viking minions. Each action that the cartoon-like characters engage in is well represented with an individual animation.
While tracking game, for example, you can watch the hunter go after a rabbit with his spear, turning it into meat for the tribe.
