An interesting city-builder with great potential. Took me 19h to play through the campaign in its current state and enjoyed every minute of it. There's a great many resources to manage and you have to take great care in balancing them all. It really could improve the micro-managment by some serous QOL. It can be hard to keep track of all your buildings and people. So, with the proper improvements until full release, this can become an absolute great game. Still needs some work though for sure.
The game if you took Frost Punk, and Banished and smooshed them together. Or, this is Banished 40k. Yes, it's still in development, but it's a solid game so far with a few annoying bugs but nothing that stops you having a blast. Developers are really on it with ideas and changes, and I don't agree with a few of the reviews.
Excellent city builder, a lot of content and the developers keep updating it. Very well done so far. I waited 2 years to buy this game because I know it takes small companies a long time to develop games and publishers only care about large profit margins unfortunately. My only major critique is the residential building and services aspect could be easily overhauled, its very simple and way too many people can be packed into small buildings. This games focus is definitely production based but its too easy to speed through upgrades. Normal mode seems like very easy mode so dont be afraid to up the difficulty if you are familiar to city builders. Hopefully more fine tuning and added features to come!
Its great but there still isn't a game that will scratch my Banished itch. This game is a very easy and casual city builder. If that's what you enjoy you will love this game. If you're looking for a game like Banished or Frostpunk because for some reason you like punishment, this is about the total opposite.
You build a town with different classes of citizens kind of like ANNO and send out scouts and deal with dilemmas like frostpunk. The Anno-like concepts of the game feel a little more flushed out than the Frostpunk ones. I would like the ability for the scouts to collect things (survivors, items) so you have to think about whether you want the scout to come back or keep pressing on. As of right now there is no reason to not send both scouts out and bounce from place to place so you can explore the whole map, no consequences for doing that, no risks.
