The Guild is an economic strategy/life simulation game. I remember well when it was first released. It was buggy and clunky, yet unique and incredibly addictive. And it remains that way to this day. Plays well on Deck with a mouse.

Very very very unique, very interesting game that doesn't explain much. It's worth playing and figuring stuff out as you go if u're interested in something like that. There is no hand holding in the game. Overall the gameplay is great! Issues unrelated to gameplay: lots of crashes. There are frequent autosaves so its not the end of the world. I've never played the other The Guild games because they seem to be very dumbed down and just plain bad, made for a larger audience (which completely backfires as it always does).

One of the best games I used to play as a child. Lovely winter nights I recall venturing into it, building my name in the economy simulation. From time to time I play it and it hits the same. Oh, i wish for remaster. Make it more polished, even deepends game mechanics. Fix bugs. Ultimate The Guild experience (not that Guild 3 fail where too many bugs and features made it complete mess)

Such a charming game! I adore the soundtrack and the atmosphere. The game isn't super complex but it goes so deep. I play this at least once a year in the colder seasons. Too bad these games don't receive much love.

A true gem 10€ is a bit too much for such an ancient game, wait for a sale. The graphics are really outdated, but underneath lies a brillant experience. It's one of my all time favorite games. The feeling of progression is awesome and both micromanaging your little smithy and macromanaging your wide-ranging business-network is fun.
