About
In Ranchbound you take charge of your own ranch. Raise cattle, keep your herd healthy, and turn a few head of cattle into a powerful herd. Hire cowboys, assign their duties, and decide how your ranch will grow as new opportunities and risks appear on the frontier.
The world around you is alive: settler towns and Native tribes live their own lives, and your actions can improve their situation or make it much worse. You can invest in local businesses to shape the region’s economy, or focus simply on your own profits.
Grow your herd:
Start with just a few head of cattle, raise newborn calves into mature cows, and build a powerful herd that becomes the foundation of your ranch.
Hire cowboys:
Recruit cowboys and assign them to different duties around the ranch, taking their individual skills and needs into account.
Expand your ranch:
As your herd grows, develop your ranch to manage your livestock more efficiently.
Build economic influence:
Buy land, invest in railroads and other local businesses.
Survival elements:
Keep an eye on your cowboys’ fatigue and morale, and remember that their work deserves a wage. Do not neglect your herd either - disease can devastate your cattle if you are not prepared.
From a modest homestead to a thriving ranch, survive in the Wild West.

пока игру к покупке не рекомендую. она довольна скучная, однообразная. Оптимизации никакой. Скорее всего верну за нее деньги. (если разрабы за неделю ничего нормального не добавят)
O jogo tem potencial, mas alguns pontos já deviam ser levado em consideração. Foque na pecuária do velho oeste, retire esse jogo secundário de cartas, melhore a jogabilidade dos peões entre os pastos, crie novas estruturas e novas opções para melhoria do rancho.
Jogo bom, mas se fizer essas introducoes melhoraria muito.: - precisa ter outros rancheiros pra competir no mapa, senao fica monotono - precisa ter mais eventos, e oscilacao dos precos, pra te obrigar a realmente gerenciar -os indios precisam reagir ao inves de ser passovos, se voce fica esperandk pra vender pra eles pra pegar preco melhor toda vez - contratos de entrega pro fort, pra ferrovia e pra fazendas distantes, assim como para outros rancheiros do mapa - possibilidade de acoes criminosas contra outros rancheiros ou mesmo na cidade - roubar gado - introduzir a necessidade de compra de suprimentos para os cowboys, e tambem necessidade de comprar feno para o gado que fica fechado no estabulo - possibilidade de construir casa na cidade pra vender - possibilidade de construir mais coisas no rancho - outros tipos de cenarios, com mais verde, e nao todo ele arenoso - dependencia de chuva para regeneracao do capim - mercado de feno e racao, que oscilem conforme as variações de clima - possobilidade de produzor feno no proprio pasto - gerenciamento automatico dos pastos e gado, com cowboys 5 estrelas - introduzir sistema de viagens pelos estados unidos, de forma q voce possa ir ate outros cenarios dentro do mesmo jogo, pra comprar suprimentos, gado, buscar cowboys, viajando de trem - possibilidade de investir dinheiro no banco - melhor balanceamento do hotel, e valores de renda, atualizados com padrao de valores da epoca, pra toda economia do jogo. Levando os valores realmente praticados por vaca, por imoveis e por terras. Jogo com potencial muito top.

Über die schlechte Grafik hätte ich drüber sehen können wenn es etwas Inhalt gäbe. Von den 30 Minuten Spielzeit habe ich 20 Minuten nur dagesessen und gewartet das die Rinderherde etwas wächst ohne ein Finger zu rühren. Es fehlt einfach an Spielinhalten. Da muss noch (viel, viel) mehr kommen.
Promising early access game. Obviously its incomplete at this point but the bones look good.
Very promising. Hoping for a larger map.
come back and play it in 6 months not worth the price at the moment :(
I have 20 hours in the game currently. Any issues? One from a recent update. I kept freezing when i opened a family tree for one of my cattle. Reported it in the discord. Got a reply. Fixed the next day. People seem to think this is a big company.. Its not. It's an indie group, possibly even a solo developer. Another thing, the people saying there 'wasn't anything to it' or that it was lacking content/slow? Honestly.. What game were you playing? The game runs smoothly, my issue with the freeze up was immediately patched and the developer has mentioned in his discord he's prioritizing more content in his updates. As of launch, there's been so much content added. - A new cow color - Genders among the cattle so you now need a male and female - Traits, both good and bad, that may positively or negatively impact your business. - performance updates (though, i haven't had an issue with performance excluding the freeze up from that one update) - A family tree for each and every cow with additional buttons to swap between cattle and show more/less of the family tree. - Pregnancy - Disease + a doctor to cure it - You can buy cattle from the trader - Adjustments to bandit frequency - The ability to sell calves - Many bug fixes - Another pen (The demo, at least, didn't have it.. I forgot if that was a thing at launch) The developer listens and replies to the community, they have even changed course of what they are focusing on as a result of what the community is asking for and that? is something a LOT of big games don't do. This is a simulation game. A management game. And part of it? Yes! It's waiting. All games have some form of waiting involved. Whether its waiting for cash, waiting for cattle to breed or waiting for bandits to appear.. It's kind of part of the game. You can bet and play cards at the saloon if you're wanting something to do while you wait. You can also split your cows and cowboys and have twice as many cows being bred at once (this is a great strat honestly) For a game that is STILL early access, i don't get the negativity - it's a really good game and it is really fun.
Mhm... ja schade das Game war 2002 schonmal eine gute Idee unter dem Namen "FarWest" Und jetzt ist es immer noch eine gute Idee aber mehr auch nicht. Grafik war 2002 schon besser , dann 10 fps und wenn Du 30 Kühe hast haste nur noch 2 fps . Vielleicht läuft es ja auf nen Toaster besser . Leider in der form nicht zu empfehlen, und wenn dann höchstens für 3€.
I can see the potential in the game, just quite frankly its slow. 2.5/5 for me currently. looking forward to further updates.
