Good game with good pacing and fun history. I would recommend to anyone who likes Banished, Settlement Survival, etc. The campaign was also nice and quick and helped me learn the game, but if you're familiar with this kind of game you won't have trouble with the basic controls and concepts.

Has more depth than the graphics imply. You free place buildings so it makes a nice organic look with the paths created by the inhabitants. Many things must be placed behind walls to upgrade the housing, workshops, and markets which are painted. then also keep the doctors and security nearby to level them up. The temples also need to be behind walls. I wish there was a little more to the tech tree but it's appropriate for the time period. After a while I found myself just hitting FF and waiting for the population to grow. It was good for $5.

A great game..... However Now, the game is fun but has major issues, maps need to be bigger, more variety added, and a wider vision, Sadly I believe there may be a chance the game is done. However, what there is, is great fun and interesting to the point you do lose hours playing the game. If the game continues to be developed buy it, if it is now abandoned, get it on offer. To the devs, Speak to us, Are you done? or can we expect more. I hope for more, I fear you are done. EDIT Looks completely abandoned, worth playing so just get it while it is cheap.
