Dec. 2025

I was an early adopter of this cozy colony management gem back in 2022, and it's still my favorite go-to game to unwind and relax. Over the years, I've barely scraped through winters while playing challenges, and I've built up from caves and huts to mountain fortresses, sprawling medieval villages, and expansive castles. I enjoy the challenge of Nature as a harsh opponent, but the customization allows you to adjust the game to fit your niche. Blorf is a dedicated indie dev who has continued to improve the game systems, content and gameplay depth, all while explaining his creative process and design decisions and being responsive to the player communities. I'm here for it. As a lover of history, I also appreciate the historical accuracy that has guided the game's design. Every new update brings me back for more, and I highly recommend supporting this dev and this absolute treasure, Clanfolk.

My really young sister asked if I could show her a video game, so I showed her this one. We agreed that I would let her design the houses and I'd help her make sure the little people who'd build them and live there would be alright. We couldn't play for too long today but after we closed the game she kept explaining her plans for the house and promised to sketch out some more plans. She was really worried about making sure they'd like living there, liked that she could choose different materials to build with, that the game has cats and that the cow could also get a house. She wanted to make sure I share this game is really cool, and that she hopes the people in it like the homes people make them. It's also really awesome for adults, and it has a lot of depth for how a lot of the mechanics in it interact.

Imagine a Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld alpha, and include every mod that improved the UI and AI, and you have Clanfolk. This is an extremely competently done game. Everything just works. There are no frustrations, no petty annoyances. It's a simplified DF/Rimworld game that learned every lesson from those games and fixed them. That said, Clanfolk is not as feature-rich as those games. There's no combat, which is where most of the excitement of those games comes from. You also don't command as many pawns, so progression is slower. The game is pleasant enough to look at, but it's by no means pretty. Took awhile to get used to. Honestly I didn't give the game much thought at first, since it looked so bland and had no combat. But it's just, so, damn, competent. Every system just works. It's hard not to admire. Looking forward to seeing further development on the game!

I don't normally write serious reviews but this is honestly one of the best city builder/colony sim games I've ever played. A bit of a learning curve to survive your first winter but once you have that down the game gets super chill. You can kick back and relax while playing and assign tasks and let your clanfolk do their thing or be super involved and micromanage each task to do things more efficiently. Some of my favorite features include: [*]Having to actually fence/protect your livestock. If you don't have any wolfhounds, good luck protecting your chickens, sheep, goats, cows and more from being eaten by the wolves. [*]CATS!!!! They help keep your community clean and kill rats that try to get into your housing and food supply. They'll even bring it to your doorstep to make it easier for your clanfolk to harvest them for meat. [*]There's an outside world from your colony. Once you progress far enough you can send your own people out into the world and meet the other clans in the surrounding area, improving relations and unlocking new items to trade and new visiting clanfolk that will join your settlement as workers. [*]Being able to grow your colony by accepting clanfolk from other clans into your family when a relative has grown old enough to marry. There's even a relations feature that you can access in your family tree to see which clanfolk like/dislike eachother. Depending on their interactions throughout their life they can learn to love or hate specific clanfolk. This can effect their mood, work efficiency, etc... There's still a lot of room for improvement, and the Dev clearly knows that. Updates are pushed pretty regularly for QoL and I love that the Dev takes all sorts of input that's posted in the discussions of the game. I bought this game on sale but definitely think the $30 price tag is worth it if you enjoy city builder/colony sim games. Everything considered I give this game a solid... 8.7/10

May 2025

Love this game. I have restarted 20 or 30 times, because I find a better way to do things. First Winter was tough. Died of starvation and thirst, fixed those problems, now it is easy but I keep restarting to discover more of the early game.
