It feels like a PC Port of a F2P City Building Game with IAP because that's what it is. You can tell it was designed for touch, and timers, and doesn't hold up as a game on it's own.

This game is a scam. It's a mobile game focused on microtransactions. They didn't even take the time to translate to PC, i.e. you can't use your mouse! you have to use the ASDW keys to move THE WHOLE screen to place a building. Graphics are really buggy, and it can take up to 15 mins to build a simple woodcutter's hut (the most basic, first building in the tutorial) unless you fast forward it with.. guess what.. a microtransaction $ Guys, I didnt want to pay attention to the reviews bc I wanted to play a Settler's style game so much but this is really a bad, lazy scam
I'll try to be the tiebreaker to the two types of reviews I'm seeing here. To make this very clear, the game doesn't have any in-game purchases anymore and in order to buy "shortcuts" you have to complete quests; which makes sense. It's not pay-to-win, it's grind-until-you-can't-take-it-anymore. It's relaxing, so if you're into european colony sim games, you'll probably come back for more. It's the most similar game to Settlers II I have seen since Settlers II with a couple of differences that you would think add depth or annoyance: It has a couple annoying quirks such as having to click on buildings to collect taxes and have to click three times to repair buildings. All of that is automated after a certain point of each game yet you can't help to feel you're playing a mobile game (which it used to be). It has micromanagement, lots of it. You have to manage buildings and occupancy; forget something and you'll end up screwed eventually. You also have TINY warehouses, so you nee...
You love Banished or Settlers? This game is for you. Casual city-builder, nicely balanced, with tons of alternative ressources for different challenges. Nothing amazingly mind blowing gameplay wise. It is just very well made. Played hundreds of hours on android, best phone game at all times IMHO.
You can try this game with your mobile phone and it's exactly same game. Controls are clunky. I suggest to play Ceasar 4 over this one. Really bad port to pc. 2/10 Nothing else to say.
I was pleasantly suprised by this game. I thought with it being a mobile game before it was ported to PC that it might not be very good....but it is! It has 18 various scenarios in "campaign" mode and 18 maps in sandbox mode. Each map is pretty good and varied. I played through the short tutorial then tried a sandbox game. I got in over my head by building too much but that wasn't important as I wanted to get a good grip on what the game has to offer. It's pretty indepth regarding research and upgrading....I'm really enjoying the expreience and would recommend it to anyone that has played the likes of Banished.
Essentially a mobile game, no real depth to it. Also not worth 10€.
Very nice city builder that reminds me a lot of the old Settler games, although a bit more simplified and casual, which is not a bad thing. Pretty stress-free for casual players, but with enough layers, complex supply chains, and such to satisfy more bits-n-bolts hardcore city planners. Comes with a solid library of scenarios and sandbox maps to fit most play styles, as well as RPG elements such as leveling up, enhancement and structure unlocks, quests, and optional tasks and goals. Some downsides are; no tool tips for easy referencing, and very clunky road building tools. But all in all, a very solid, stable, easy to get into game that could easily consume hundreds of hours of playtime, so well worth the asking price.
This is an enjoyable city builder, with lots of resource management, a bit of fighting, and a good sense of humor, with good scenarios.
This is just a new update on my review. The game is so terrible that I can't recommend It to anyone because It still lacks regular updates from the developer which is still a major concern. These developers are so lazy that they can't even release an editor which tells me that they are no longer supporting this game at all. This also tells me that they just don't care about listening to asnyone's concerns. There are still no new maps in the sandbox mode part of the game. This game continues going in the wrong direction all the time. Everyone do youself a favor and avoid this game at all costs don't even waste your time or money on this garbage of a game. My rating is 1/10 and If I could I wouldn't even give this game a rating at all because this game is so bad.
