I love this game. It has somewhat limited features as of 10 June 2022, but the developer is very responsive and the game is pretty stable. You can create your own forest and now desert biomes, and can spend many hours building out your biome of choice. This game feels like a spiritual successor to SimPark, which is one of my favorite games of all-time. Definitely pick this up if you are into ecosystem simulators.

This game is great for people who like to enjoy the peaceful side of gaming but also want a little bit of a puzzle involved. Balancing all the different parts of nature such as the range of small to large animals, the amount of water, wild fires, and much more add an interesting challenge to the game. Overall I enjoy playing the game especially as a contrast to most aggressive games I play.
Its a pretty neat little game. I would say get it if you got some extra cash. The price is worth it at only 5$. As far as I can tell there arnt many bugs. Although I would like to see a few things, for one that water is a little clunky. Maybe like more a continuous water source ability too, and make it so animals have to swim through water and plants die in water if they are in it for to long. (I'm sure the last two are planned for the future.) I'm excited to see where the game goes from here. :D
When this update came, my game started crashing now. Can you fix this? I cannot play the game ever since the new update and we also need better map editing because maps are buggy. ORIGINAL V1: [h1] Fun, but missing something. [/h1]It is a fun game, but needs a bit more content. Also, I think you should add more creatures and add biomes.
woodland empire is a fun indie god game when you grow a forest, its a good game for the price :)
I don't review games often, but for this game, I have to write a review. I enjoyed this game more than most of the other games I've bought this year, and this is one of the cheapest of them all! It's really worth the price. The scenarios are challenging and fun, and the sandbox mode is really fun to play around with too ;) It's a bit like, Equilinox, Tyto Ecology and Topia world Builder combined. The developer is also still developing the game, making it better, and you can join the Discord channel to report bugs, talk about the game and suggest new features. I tried the demo first, and played it for a pretty long time. Then I decided to buy the full game, and I have no regrets!
Love the expression "anti-city builder". And that is what this game is. So far it is interesting and relaxing and I hope that ecological dynamics and species diversity (+ trophical levels etc.) will deepen through the early access process! If you are interested in ecology or simply nature, give it a try
A fun and interesting take on a nature sim! I was surprised by how much educational content was in this game (which that alone is worth the cost). They did a good job with keeping things informative and purposeful, but it was also fun to see how the consequences of nature and harmony work in real time. Definitely recommend for kids and teachers or nature nerds 🤓
Great little game for the price. I hope they make more.
Super relaxing game, family friendly ecosystem sandbox :) Not too detailed but still fun to create your little world with a bit of eco balance to it.
