Rise of Venice is a trading and economic simulator, never played one? If there's one secret pleasure I have it's the in the simulation of trading, if a game manages to sneak it into their mechanics I'm going to be there buying at the lowest price and selling to the highest bidder, heck it’s one of the reasons that Star Wars Galaxies’ economy was fun, because it was pretty much a real economy. So for me, staple trading simulators like Port Royale or Rise of Venice are three times as addictive as the optional paths of trading goods in Sid Meier's Pirates! However Rise of Venice is not simply centred around trade, and a large portion of the game relies on your schmoozing ability, with ten different families vying for the seat of Doge, you can expect a lot of dirty politics going on, you see, coming from nothing, each step you take makes somewhat of a mockery to the ten most influential families of Venice, so don't be surprised when you achieve the higher ranks you'll find your warehouses robbed, vicious rumours spread about your family, and worst of all, you may find harbours blocking your ships for a few days due to reported dodgy dealings. Probably one of the most impressive features of Rise of Venice is that the economy is completely self-contained; supply and demand is dictated by the current goings-on in the city, and an increase in population will require an increased need for certain goods, everything that you can buy and sell is produced by factories in the cities and used by the inhabitants of them.
It’s never fun when you pour hours upon hours of your life into a game to find it simply end when the credits roll, more often than not they're with huge expansive games that you establish an emotional attachment with; the steps you took to make Rome yours, the lengths you endured to ensure that Alvise Loredan is rooting for you all the way up to Doge, simple things. Well quite possibly the best feature of Rise of Venice is the ability to further your campaign into Free play for as long as you want, allowing you to practically rule Venice for all time, well as least it seemed to allow us to do so.If you're looking for a great trading simulation with an autonomous economy then Rise of Venice is exactly the game you want it to be, hours can be lost in the pursuit for the highest price, and the rise to Doge of Venice is by no means an easy feat, which is great because unlike similar games you won't find yourself climbing the food chain too quickly. Whether you're a veteran trading sim fan or perhaps you find the novelty of buying and selling in a game appealing, you can find hours of entertainment in Rise of Venice, just make sure to eat and sleep inbetween trade agreements.

Venice was at the peak of its power during the Renaissance and was viewed as a city of decadence, beauty and intrigue. Renowned as the linchpin of civilization and the cultural centre of Europe, Venice was the most important trading post between Western Europe and the eastern stretch of the Mediterranean Sea. It was also the stage for political corruptions and clandestine dealings.This is where your story begins.
