Depraved

if you liked banished, this is like that but wild west, BUT, better. no more ''grid lock'', you can use 45o or hold control for full free rotation, when placing buildings. gone is boredom of a world with no threat = indian tribes, and bandit gangs, will either need to be paid off or fought off. and you can individually control your little dudes, click on them, set control+number group selections like in a strategy game = or not. i didn't even realize you could control your dudes for about an hour, i just had them working via orders, because i skipped the tutorial.
pretty cool, for a lil indie game. better city builder than some triple a ones.

I'm enjoying it, I'm not an expert in these games so I don't know the standard, but I like it. I prefer the openness to learning the game mechanics rather than constant hand holding. I like that I can make mistakes and learn to improve later, makes it more realistic where screw ups do happen in real life and you have to overcome.

OVERVIEW
I figured out why it's called Depraved---because that's how the game can make you feel after awhile trying to manage resources and make money.
You will fight the UI trying to understand where resources are being used or not being used or why you have to hand hold the trade routes (especially with Indian/Native Tribes).
And for whatever reason, you're limited to only building giant shacks to earn meager starting cash while everything else just costs money to both build and upkeep. And those mandatory giant shacks end up quickly filling up your small marked starting location and then limit what other buildings you can build unless you can expand but that costs a fortune and drops your favor with the natives. The Cheat goldrush quickly becomes your friend.

GRIDLESS
Not many gridless city builders but this game is Gridless. Plop buildings and watch mud paths form as your townsfolk move around. Plus you can build multiple towns on the map and transport goods between them.
NOSTALGIC
This game might fit your fancy, especially if you're a fan of the Wild West and 90's style games
SEASONS and DAY/NIGHT CYCLE
The heart of this game is survival so it does include seasons which has both visual effects and effects the growing or not (in Winter) of crops and reforestation of trees.
RTS STYLE
I think it's cool that you can control your towns people similar to an RTS, arm them and hunt and defend against bandits/indians.
DESPITE THE MICROMANAGEMENT, IT MIGHT BE WORTH IT ON SALE
Sure the game UI is lacking detailed information about resource consumption and the game requires a lot of micromanagement especially with trade but it could still be worth it on a good sale.

82 hours on record and had fun with this game. i love the old western vibe and it gave me enough to explore and play with.

This is a solid builder set in the old west. I truly don't understand the negative reviews 100% recommended especially for fans of westerns.

If you are looking for simple city builder in the vein of Banished this would be the ticket. It tries to be like a slice of Tropico and Anno with production chains and elevation of citizens but doesn't put too many restrictions in place. It has flaws and many have been named but it also doesn't over-complicate the game play. Lets start with the Cons, borders for towns seem flawed and if setup too close to existing cities there is no overlap or joining and also limits the growth of town size, trade routes don't work the best you can't undo or switch items you have to delete the route and start it again, mine points on mountains on some maps may be too close to rivers or other mountain sides and won't allow you to build mines so you can't actually get the material, enemies or other groups on the map don't seem fleshed out at all bandits may steal every now and then do nothing else and the Indians just seem to be there, you can attack them or pay tribute but unable to figure out how to develop trading with them, picking up or retrieving things can be utterly frustrating with the controls and AI of the citizens. Pros it is easy to develop a town and create more, the production chains are simple and make sense and don't try to be hunger money killers like some games, population size doesn't seem to be a negative as consumption of goods may not be completely developed or is very kind to the player, while early progress might be slow it doesn't take long to get things going unlike other games in the genre that I feel are too unforgiving and make you lose before you reach any sort of pinnacle in your population growth.
In short if you are looking for an easy city builder with some simple mechanics this is a good choice, while there might not be long campaigns you can still have fun. And when it's on sale it's a great choice if you want to play a city builder with a western feel.

Frankly I can't help feeling the title of this game being Depraved is a tad bit misleading.
I was hoping it would be taking inspiration from something like one of my favourite childhood books Blood Meridian and films in the vein of Ravenous or Cannibal! The Musical but what we actually got is just a bit boring and tedious.
I think actually the only Depraved thing about this game is that you would be forced to play it in excess of 50 hours on maximum game speed just to get the last achievement.
