This is a city builder/resource management sim with a final boss. An endgame. It's fun. If you liked the Ghibli film Nausicaa (1984), you'll enjoy the art, lore, and music this game boasts. If you like city-building games, you'll have a good time. If you're looking for replayability, you'll find it in the various "hard mode" versions you can customize. The sandbox mode is what I was really after, in this game. I like watching a number go up, but I like that with a little bit of a challenge. I have to anticipate and plan, but I can also just unwind and relax. Taking care of my Onbu makes me emotional. I played a run once where I tried not to care about its feelings and I felt so bad about it I abandoned the run. :'( All in all, excellent game. I had my eyes on in for ages during early access, but I prefer to wait. And... this wait paid off. 10/10 love this thing would die for an Onbu plush.
If you're experienced with city building, this will probably be too easy and simple for you, but for me, this is basically my first one ever and it's SO cute and fun, very chill and cozy. I am absolutely glued to this game, I haven't had a game keep me up until 6am for a long time.
This is a cute and cozy game that masquerades as a city builder. Pros: Cute art Easy to run Interesting concept Relaxing gameplay Cons: Lack of depth and agency Overpriced The story here is a little on the chin- humans exploited Onbu to near extinction and it's your job to bring them back and save the world. Things get a little muddy though when you're offered the chance to... exploit your Onbu for profit. Weird choice by the devs there. You'll wander through the post apocolyptic world managing poison levels and collecting seeds. Both tasks are a bit too simple for my tastes. Herbs, which are laughably easy to get, will cure poison, and every-single-npc-you-meet has a seed, which makes the interactions in this game lose their intrigue and importantly only barely makes sense. The only resource management you'll really need to do is ensuring you have enough water, which as you can imagine is boring. Otherwise you move your way through a massive tech tree which makes you feel like you have agency but really it's just a linear progression of turning resources into other resources which turn into other resources. Ironically, most of your resources are spent UNLOCKING the ability to research other resources. Yeah. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun when I put it that way, but if you think about The Wandering Village as an interactive visual novel, it's a pretty and relaxing way to spend 20-30 hours. I would NOT recommend it to people looking for a serious city builder or colony management game. I would NOT recommend it at full price. I DO recommend this game on sale to people looking for a cozy interactive story about healing a broken planet.
The best co-op experience I've had in years is actually this single-player game. I've got four decades of gaming under my wrist and I'm tired of flavorless standardized AAAs. I bought this expecting a simple, chill city-builder to pass the time. I was wrong. It’s a logistical masterpiece, but the real magic happens if you play it as improvised couch co-op with kids (doable as early as 3, providing they can handle the spooky mushrooms, recommended after 6). We established a strict "Village Family Council": - Me (The Clicker): I provide the manual labor and the credit card. - My Daughter (6 yo): "The Onbu Advocate." Her sole mandate is ensuring the beast gets petted and fed. She spams high-frequency vowels the moment he looks even slightly hungry. - My Son (10): "The Village Union Rep." He couldn't care less about the beast’s feelings; he demands efficiency, resources, and enforced happiness like a true Soviet dream. Watching them argue over the moral dilemma of "Hurting the beast to save the village" was a novel game experience. Following the story ultimately felt like playing a Miyazaki movie with ecological & philosophical inquiries. Verdict: Don't play alone. Grab your family, assign roles, and let the chaos unfold. 9/10
