This game is ambitious in the best way. Almost everything feels interactive, and the range of actions makes the whole experience feel very flexible and player-driven. The private ownership system is especially refreshing for a city builder: buildings and units handle their own buying through the market, so your focus shifts toward improving settlement-wide production while keeping prices affordable. Citizens also have complex behaviors that reduce the need for constant micromanagement, which keeps the game enjoyable at scale. At the same time, smart micromanagement can still improve throughput, so there is a nice balance between automation and player control. I can already see how the military system could integrate deeply with production and markets, and that should make combat both strategic and fun. There are still areas that need tuning, especially in the early game. Construction companies struggle to stay efficient without subsidies, and early log shortages can take too long to recover from. If those bottlenecks are smoothed out, the pacing and progression would feel much better.

As I expected going in, this game is as BASIC as it comes when it comes to city builders. Made with Unity Store assets, and having the overall depth of a Tic-Tac has nutritional value, this is as bad of a value as you can possibly get here on Steam. Honestly, this feels like a low effort asset flip. ..Maybe this is something AI built, but whatever it is, it takes all of 15 minutes to understand that this is NOT a well built city builder. And to add insult to injury, the asset flipping developer who pumped this game out in a very short period of time is asking the same as you can purchase the overly excellent "Ostriv" for. (It's been less than six months since his last Steam game release). Absurd. Let's just go over the problems I experienced in the first 15 minutes... and WHY I quickly requested a refund on Steam: - Changing many of the settings has ZERO effect with no "apply" button. I changed the music level to 0% and then to 100%. No difference. I also changed textures from 0% to 100% and witnessed ZERO difference. *sigh* - Immediately you are given a crew of 30 people and they almost all have the FLU (92%). - No way to control your citizens or tell them what to do at all. All you do is build the basic 20 or 30 buildings and wait. Ugh. Remember what I said about this game having the depth of a tic-tac? - The game completely closed out (crashed) on me three times in 15 minutes. - The citizens ALL look EXACTLY the same. Let's make a more BORING looking city builder, shall we? - Why do the citizens keep looking as if they are falling face first into the ground then get up and walk? Are they sick? Are they brain dead? There is NO information when I try and click on one. - The citizens IQ is about as smart as a rock. We can't control them, and we are forced to witness them acting like brain dead zombies. Oh what fun this is! Let's not talk about the first review and subsequent 2nd and 3rd reviews REEK of purchased FAKE positive reviews directly out of China. If you can't get positive reviews naturally with your over-priced asset cobbled together trash game, why not BUY them right Mr Dev? NOT RECOMMENDED: This game shouldn't be asking for more than about $5 USD tops. And even then with the lack of depth and terrible AI, I think even then this would be an utter rip-off. WHAT I RECOMMEND INSTEAD: If you haven't ever played "Ostriv" right here on Steam, I highly recommend that at the same price. It was also developed by a single dev, the difference is that dev actually cares and tried to make a great city building game.

千万别买，垃圾游戏，非常卡，游戏设定和交互垃圾的要死，从来没给过差评，这个游戏实在太垃圾，和预期完全不一样，浪费一下午时间

非常扎实有趣的种田体验。每次调整游戏里的宏观政策都能观察到居民日常生活的改变，细节反馈很棒，特别是带领整座城市熬过饥荒的时候，成就感十足。期待战斗系统能早日实装！

游戏逻辑很好，经济系统新颖，期待后续更新

私有制的经济系统挺有趣的 但数值还不是很完善
