Fantasic cozy puzzle builder. It's great when I wanna build but also not really have to think. Would love more dlc and also an undo button

For the price? Recommended. But keep in mind ― it's less of a city builder and more of a low-stakes puzzle game that can *result* in rather aesthetic medieval city maps at the end of each level. The visuals are charming in an old-school Stronghold way, and I'm not bothered by the lack of depth in mechanics or controls, but I can understand why some would be. It's enjoyable enough that, as someone who likes more relaxing games, I can see myself returning to this regularly, but maybe not for too long each time. If it cost more than a few dollars, I wouldn't recommend, but all in all it's a pleasantly challenging way to set up a visually appealing city for a half hour or so ― just don't expect too much beyond that.

I've only played 26 minutes of this. It's pretty chill, which is what I was hoping for, but it's also pretty cludgy. The graphics are nice but the single perspective and lack of rotation tools make it clumsy to place buildings. There are some weird things about placing buildings- like apparently you can't cross from land to floating platform with a building, and some terrain prevents some buildings from being place but the boundaries of that terrain are not at all clear. This makes it hard to predict whether you'll be able to place another building, so the game inhibits developing any kind of strategy.
I guess I'd recommend it as long as it's free, but I'm glad I didn't pay money for it.

Wonderful little game that is very relaxing but still challenging to find the optimal placements for each level. I am enjoying it a lot! For a free game, this is more fun than similar games I've played. The handdrawn graphics are very charming.

This game is very chill and relaxing, but it does take some brain power too. It's the perfect end of day game for me to wind from work and school. I would 100% recommend this game to a friend as well! Try it out for yourself!

very solid puzzler, obviously it's very similar to Islanders but being single perspective gives it a unique twist. Alongside the fixed perspective you also can't build too far from the initial city center you place, so that first click is vital. There's other cute little quirks too, like roaming animals which give bonuses to certain buildings but only if they roam into range as you're placing them. Maybe it's worth waiting for a horse to trot over to get the +1 to your next house?
Has a few small quirks like not being able to easily see what proximity bonuses each building has.. but it's free and it's got plenty of levels to tear through, so I can't bring myself to be any harsher. If you want a slight different take on the puzzle-city builder, try it out.

The other guy says in his review that this is an islanders clone and crap. But islanders looks horrible with its "unity" graphics, makes my eyeballs ache and eventually melt from their sockets. I rather play this. Anyway, this game is casual, good to play for 8 minutes in the morning with your green tea, before moving on to "real" games. But in the end, as with islanders, these kind of games cannot keep you engaged for too long, you will uninstall it in few days because it gets boring. I wonder why game developers are so one dimensionally challenged that they cannot come up with maybe something like the years progress(future tech), or maybe clash with another player on the island, or million other things. Or make a game like this with different theme: horror, scifi... Use your imagination, please
