    Thats why I love to play citybuilders with at least one "easy difficulty" setting save.
    Sometimes I just don§t want to stress about micromanagement and just enjoy looking at things to blossom and develop by themselves.
    Deffinitelly gonna have a look at this one. Thanks for tip :)

    Idr if I was watching Splat play this or what, but it does look cute, cozy and inviting. I've wanted to get into city builders, but everything I've encountered is so unbelievably daunting that I shy way from it. It's good to hear you guys' take on this and definitely made me more interested.

      Maybe also have a look at Foundation. It is quite a simple village building game not unlike this, but has some depth as you progress, such as the ability to create buildings with multiple parts. It is still in early access, but somewhat further along than this one.

      @@roqsteady5290 , hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to write me this suggestion! I think I had seen a few people play it and I can't remember well, but I feel like something turned me off to it? I will have another look at it, if you're suggesting. [It] would be nice to get into a novice friendly city builder so I can grasp the basics, then branch out, if I'm still feeling it.

    The only gripe I have with this game is the lack of conflict/challenge. currently its just build for aesthetics.
    For those who want a casual city builder with clear goals, Against the Strom highly recommend.
    Hopefully Fabledom introduces a confilct system that utilizes the hero more or quest to help known fairytale characters.

      not every City builder needs to have conflict In It to be a good game. I think that this is fine without the conflict. Its very relaxing and easy going. Keep In mind also that this is just came out In EA so there are likely to changes made to conflict as well as new features getting added maybe not conflict but something along the lines. I would give this a few months to see where the conflict is headed before making any decision on that.

I don't really care for having conflict as part but make It optional then If people want it they can use it. But city building games or colony sim games like this should not include a true conflict mode. It should be peaceful.

    This game reminds me of the settlers that Bluebyte came out with back In the early days. I think that this game goes deeper and has better graphics then the settlers did and I think that even the new settlers game is trash compared to this. It doesn't even have a freemode/sandbox mode to speak of at all. So If I were to compare this to the settlers newest game this game easily destroys It In terns of features and graphics and pricing. I would easily give this game a 10/10 easily.

      @@Tendro44 it's harsh to say, but they wouldn't need to sell early access to pay for further development if it was worth playing. There are so many publishers looking for the next big indie success, trawling the web for little development studios with great ideas and sellable products, with stacks of cash ready to throw at them when their pot runs low, to finish their games and make everyone a fortune. More often than not it's the types who pride themselves on only having X amount of developers as some kind of selling point that go the early access route. Having differing inputs in game development is essential, because you can't see the flaws in your own work after looking at it for so long, and there are always flaws. Expecting people to pay you to give their input is a terrible way to do anything. I'm all for supporting small teams, but that's the operative word. One or two guys refusing outside funding unless it's a paying customer for an unfinished product should, as a rule, be avoided.

      @@mydogeatspuke Nah. If you don't know what buying into an Early Access game means (that it may be great, average, mediocre, or end development before the game is finished) then you should stay away from EA titles. As for the small number of developers/indy studio/no outside funding - that in no way translates to a game that's gonna suck. I have over 500 hours played in just such a game. Paid $4.99 when it was very early access and this game is easily worth $25 or more. Finished product is awesome. I own several other EA titles by small teams with no outside funding, and they're all decent to great games.

    ALL EARLY ACCESS GAMES SHOULD BE FREE... Your helping THEM to improve their game while in development and paying for something that is UNFINISHED. All they then have to do is when the game is ready for full release, you then either pay to keep your game and/or progress or lose the "CD" download KEY to the game so it then becomes inactive. I don't know why this isn't standard.

      You don't understand video game development.

Early access is a good thing for everyone involved.
