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.

Esse jogo é excelente, muito bem feito e a desenvolvedora lança sempre ótimas atualizações, única coisa que eu não gosto são os aldeões não equiparem as roupas de frio e calor sozinhos, mas isso não é um grande problema. Nas primeiras horas é difícil entender tudo que você tem que fazer, as dicas ajudam bastante mas mesmo assim é difícil, mas logo acostuma e acaba viciando
Buen juego, muy entretenido. Al inicio es un poco difícil de entender, pero una vez que todos tus colonos mueren durante el primer invierno, comprendes todo lo importante. Solo le vendría bien un poco más de optimización, ya que, cuando instalas varios mods, el rendimiento puede disminuir mucho e incluso el juego puede llegar a crashear. Se agradece muchísimo que juegos de este estilo, y en general cualquier juego, estén en español.
Way too buggy right now. Promising idea, but working through the bugs is unpleasant.
Oui!
Super fun city building and resource management, much like colony survival but from a bird's eye view.
:O
good game but crashes often in loading screen
Recomendo muito pra quem gosta do gênero, divertido e com várias possibilidades dos mods.
The game is a really good city survival sim! Honestly the best building mechanics I've felt in a game like this, where I feel like what I create is truly unique to me and my circumstance. 20 hours in I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface of my so far thriving village. Its very satisfying seeing the villagers complete and go about their tasks. I think the comments complaining about "the games originality" are disingenious and don't want to do the thinking, how many good games have the prefix "Age of..." just so theyre visable in RTS game searches? How many of those games get a pass to take aspects of AoE and other RTS's like it? That's why I such reviews don't do the thinking, I didn't like rimworld because of how barebones the game felt, with obvious expansion packs coming down the line for what the game essentially promised would be in the game, I only very partially see that with this game, but what's here is already worth your money.
Built my first castle, if you could call it that. The primary builder was my favorite villager, a man name Hyldrich who is older than the rest by an order of 20 years. He always immediately worked on any project I set, without me having to worry about job priorities, so he was a real go-getter. During castle construction, he was as usual, working harder and longer than anyone else to get the castle up and running and decided to work on the second floor to get a head start on it. Well, night comes around on the first day and he passed out on the second floor, nothing crazy he worked himself ragged a lot. Time passed with this happening over and over again, Hyldrich working until he passed out on the castle, my attention was on other things, so I didn't always notice it happen. Stone mining was slower due to him being so "invested" in the castle so construction was taking longer than I liked. Then I started to get worried, he was starving, and just continued to work, it was as if a madness had taken him, "Why Hyldrich, why? We have food, please please go and eat something!" I screamed at my screen as I watched his health drop. Finally I noticed, he was the only ever working on the second floor, and no one else was helping him aside from laying materials up there, why is that? He might be a hard worker, but its not like the rest were lazy. I, for the first time, really looked at the build, "Oh no, there's no stairs" I realized in a panic, and set my villagers to make a simple dirt ramp in an emergency, but no-one started construction, not even my favorite worker who was starving due to this missing piece. At what seemed like the last second, by what could only be described as a miracle, Liddy, one of my original 3 workers finally decided to build the ramp for her fellow townsman, I'd long suspected Liddy had feelings for Hyldrich as they always tended to work together and had both been around since the start. The light of life and hope returned to his eyes, Hyldrich ran to the ramp, to freedom. He collapsed. The other villagers came to what I thought, was help him, but it was to carry him to the dumping ground. He was dead. Starved out doing what he loved, menial physical labor. R.I.P Hyldrich, I continue on to honor your legacy. 10/10 - IGN (How did he even get up there? I don't know)
