Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles

10 hours of playtime before I felt fully satisfied with the game. Three total scenarios but all of my hours were poured into the 2nd one, the Mercers, and it was good. It's a true city builder so no real ending outside of collecting Faction wonders, fully exploring the map, and developing scattered cities into bustling metropolises. Totally worth the $11 I bought it with on sale.

I love this game. The hours are funky cause most of my play time is offline. Tomas has captured a very special energy with this game that has me hooked. My biggest gripe is the big city's don't feel full. You build a bunch of settlements with 20 population and the narrator is talking about what the people are doing in the streets, grand walk ways span the settlement, connecting all these slightly unique towers built with the same tools. But no people walking about anywhere, all the streets are empty and silent. Everyone must move about some other way. There are people riding the birds and bugs and what not, but that's it. I get its a way to save graphics needs, its just something i notice after long play sessions. I do wish the steel tower build segment was more expansive as well.

The building in this game is organic, mesmerizing and totally unique. This, the economy and explorations kept me playing for 30+ hours.

Bulwark is a chill, open world citybuilder that is perfect for those who seek the grandeur and prestige of building massive fortresses, port cities, and grand capitals without the stressful min-maxing and micromanagement of typical strategy games. The game mechanics are carefully tailored to be simple yet effective in what it does. The perfect balance of procedural generation and player control on how the settlements take is shape gives great room for player creativity. Perfect game to chill after work. Highly recommended~

A game that is a project of love from its developer. When I tried the demo at a Steam fest, I was captivated by how city building works and since then, Tomas has added a lot of free updates. I bought the DLCs, which are really not needed, to support the developer. It’s amazing to see how they still get content and polish the game. He even made a ship creator that you can export to the game! (as a separate game). I’m looking forward to buying more projects from Tomas, since it shows that his passion is making video games and this is reflected in his works.

The game is absolutely insane—in a really good way! ...But please, Mr. Sala, add more turret repairers and more turrets of different sizes to make it even more perfect. 👌

Скучная и унылая поделка

It's a really fun sandbox, and once you get the hang of the building system, it can be easy to lose yourself trying to design the perfect island chain city. The battles can also look absolutely amazing, and the visual design and vibe are absolutely wonderful. The only problem is that once you have done that once, there isn't that much drawing you back. Regardless of which faction you lean towards, your city will look almost exactly the same, and the actual gameplay experience feels the same. I am happy I played it, and I definitely recommend it, but know that if you like it, you will end up wanting more from the end game.

Отличная медитативная стратегия. Красивая и очень приятная. Позволяет расслабиться или повоевать, если выбрать соответствующий сценарий (или настройки сценария). Конечно, она не для всех, т.к. является достаточно своеобразной игрой. Очень здорово, что разработчик на протяжении большого количества времени продолжает поддерживать данную игру - это сейчас большая редкость. Это вызывает уважение. Tomas, большое вам спасибо!

Visualmente es muy bonito, un planteamiento sencillo pero curioso y adictivo, espero que pronto pongan más escenarios
