April 2025

I’m really enjoying this game. It’s chill and satisfying, and it reminds me of Mini Metro. However, instead of losing when resources aren’t transferring fast enough, your population just decreases. The goal isn’t to avoid losing, but rather to grow the population to a target level and construct monuments. If you make a mistake that causes traffic jams, you can fix it without stressing about losing the game. I love that I can just listen to a podcast and chill while playing. You can even walk away without pausing and not worry about it. If you enjoy building roads in city-building games or like traffic management games, definitely check this one out. There’s a demo available that gives a good feel for the game.

Mini Settlers is really more of a factory and automation game that is disguised as a city builder. I think for what this game sets out to do, it achieves its task for the most part. Mini Settlers has a very minimalist feel to it, while also having quite a bit of complexity on the management side of things. I enjoy the simple controls, relaxing atmosphere, and overall feel of the game. Mini settlers does a good job of making you really plan out your city. You are forced to think about what buildings to place next to other buildings, and how your road network should be set up to maximize efficiency. The supply chains are fun to manage, and if you aren't careful, bottlenecks can form easily. I really enjoy the production chains and exploring how lower level resources feed into higher level resources. You really have to plan out your flow of resources in advance, especially with limited space. I also enjoyed the variety of transportation methods you could use, and it was all very easy to set up and manage. Mini Settlers suffers from a lack of variety. Each level feels the same, and most levels don't have many modifiers to mix up gameplay. I enjoyed the level with the vendors instead of farmland and the level with no coal, but besides those, there aren't any modifiers to make games feel unique. I didn't find the monuments satisfying to build, and certain building materials (wooden beams and stone masonry) become useless once you build your monuments. Finally, I think it would be nice if ships and helicopters could carry more than once resource. I find myself having to build lots of these networks due to only being able to carry one resource at a time (maybe you could level up ships or helicopters to carry more than one resource?) I would recommend this game more for factory or automation game enthusiasts than city builders, although city builders would enjoy this too. I think the game has some work to do from early access, but the final product should be worth it.

Game Refunded because you're trapped into doing the Tutorial every time you start a new run (even though I ran the Tutorial several times in the Demo). I sat for an hour trying to get my population up enough to get OUT of the Tutorial and on to the actual game but finally quit and refunded for wasting my time that way. Will consider a repurchase (and review update) when they let you opt OUT of the Tutorial because it looks like a great little game. Update: After looking through the latest update, and population adjustment for tutorial, I'm giving this game a thumb's up. I was perhaps a bit harsh initially and am pleased to change my rating and even purchase the game again - it looks like the devs are really on top of feedback and are still improving the game greatly.

Already in love with this game. a great game to just relax or have it in the background. Devs, PLEASE add modes that possibly allow us to craft our own world, as well as a huge map that we can expand maybe by unlocking chunks of the map? I really want to have a lot of room to make massive plantations and long railways! i would just want to have an endless mod where i can build a massive civilization. heck even maybe missions that town halls give out from time to time wanting a bulk amount of stuff, just so i can keep playing on one map.

A fantastic resource management game with tons of potential! Mini-Settlers is incredibly fun and offers a rewarding experience similar to Factorio. The game runs smoothly and is very addictive, especially for fans of strategic planning and resource management. However, a few quality-of-life updates would make it even better. The autosave frequency needs to be shorter (individual settings!), and the option to disable or ask again when pressing the close button away from the options button is essential - I've accidentally closed the game several times and had to do redo 10 Minutes of thoughtful planning - after the second time i quit the game: Also, time-based challenges feel out of place in a game meant to be relaxing. Finally, the ability to see full production chains and have all buildings unlocked from the start would greatly enhance my planning experience. Despite these issues, I highly recommend Mini-Settlers to anyone who enjoys the genre.
