Home Wind

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.

I love this game and have played it through several times. I would highly recommend it, however, if you are interested in expanding into the (purchased) premium levels or want to play a larger map (also a purchase) in sandbox, don't waste your money. I purchased both and despite the game 'supposedly' updating the content it never did. I tried reaching out to the content creator and never heard back. So if you don't mind replaying the free maps over again or creating on the smaller maps, this game is great. I wish there were more with this format.

Game is available for Mac but the Premium Levels and Sandbox DLC is only for Windows. Frustrating and severely limits ability to play.

It's a pretty puzzle game. The graphics are gorgeous, the soundtrack is nice and mellow and once you actually understand the gameplay, the puzzles are fun. I find that some of the sound effects, like for levelling up are quite out of place and ear piercing.
Some of the levels are gated behind a paywall, which sucks. But this game is free and I know the dev wants to make money on the game, so tomayto tomahto; I suppose.
Also, for how hot my PC runs whilst playing this and the fact that it refuses to close whenever I stop playing the game makes me wonder if I have downloaded a very pretty bitcoin miner. But that could just be a issue isolated to me.

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!
