About
When civilization is decimated by rampant plague, a lucky few emerge from the ashes. Help them settle in a dangerous wilderness reclaimed by nature. Build them a home, shape their lives, and defend them from bandits and beasts in a lawless, realistic post-calamity world. The Dark Age is yours to rebuild.


From three lost travellers to a thriving walled city, build greatness from desolation. Use 3D terrain tools to create the perfect stronghold, from sprawling multi-storey forts to winding underground caverns. Construct, furnish and decorate your chambers, workshops, chapels, libraries and more, using stone, clay, and other gathered materials.

Each settler is a unique character. Consider Grimbold, for example. As a Swineherd, his Animal Handling is second to none. But his personality is Savage, so he’d make a strong Brawler. He likes nice clothes, his religion is dear to him — and he’s hungry. Satisfy Grimbold’s needs, use his talents, and he’ll be a happy settler — key to a happy settlement.

Build impenetrable defenses and set traps against unrelenting waves of raiders. Research and craft medieval tech, arm your settlers and command them in battle. Tailor your strategy to your villager’s skills, and upgrade them through hunting and combat.

Explore your randomly-generated multi-level map and manipulate it to your will. Terraform the earth and water for construction, design, or military strategy. Build up or dig down, go humble or baronial, and use the modding tools to unearth a whole new level of creative freedom.

Reviews
Didn't know what to expect with this game. It went on sale and figured reviews mentioning similarities to Rimworld (which I love), so I figured why not? I have been blown away with the realism and interesting societal situations play out as people become annoyed with one another or adore each other. Highly recommend if you are a Rimworld fan.
good game
好玩
Ich habe 160 Stunden in diesem Spiel verbracht. Spass war für mich nur sehr wenig dabei. Musste mich selbst extrem anstrengen um Spass zu haben und selbst im Spiel enorm behindern um es für mich zu spielen. Bereue soviel Zeit investiert zu haben und immer wieder von vorne begonnen zu haben um dem Spiel noch eine Chance zu geben. Das alles nur für Design/Mechanik Entscheidungen die wahrscheinlich nicht Käufer getätigt haben. Ich habe nach Mods für meine Probleme gesucht aber die gab es nicht, vielleicht gebannt oder so, würde mich nicht wundern. Lasst mich mein SINGLE PLAYER Game Spielen wie ich möchte. Im Allgemeinen ist es sonst halbwegs gut Spielbar. Für ein kleines Studio ist es gut gemacht. Aber überall hat es kleine Bugs die einen auch ab und an sehr reizen können (Wegfindungen, wie Sidler ineffizient arbeiten usw.) Jemand der Mittelalter Games sucht würde ich es nicht empfehlen das wäre vergleichbar als ob es Aliens und Raumschiffe in diesem Spiel gäbe oder sonst unpassende Sachen.
Super
jogo muito bem feito, varias formas de explorar o jogo, incrível!
正式版出来之后可玩性增加很多了 建筑也更丰富了 希望推出更对优化细节的部分 比如小人会同时有远程近战的喜好 但是只能带一种武器之类的小问题 希望游戏越更越好
how am I in the first 9.3% to catch 20 fish?
Es macht sehr spaß man muss aber sehr aufpassen sonst hat man mal ganz schnell denn ganzen tag gespielt
I regret buying this stupid RNG engine.
