1849

[Greybriar]

My interest was aroused when I first spotted 1849 by SomaSim for sale at GOG.com (the PC version is also available at GamersGate and Steam) for $12.74 U.S. The price is 15% off at those three sources. I like some city-builders and 1849 with its hand drawn graphics has its appeal.

But 1849 is also available for $4.99 in iPad format at the App Store and Google Play. I am unfamiliar with the pricing in other formats, but isn't a 250% increase of the PC version a little extreme?

I also ran across this post at the SomaSim forums and my interest in the game diminished somewhat.

But the bottom line is, has anyone purchased and played 1849 for the PC? If so, is it worth $12.74?

The GOG reviews I saw panned it as being too simple.  Which fits the typical tablet game port expectations I have.

From a quick browse I like the look of it...
