Tranquil Isle

There's a lovely mellow nature to it. Even after you've run out of buildings to place in classic mode there's something nice to clicking through the decor items and adding that little sprinkle of character here and there. It's nicely polished as well, it's cool to see the fishing boats out after placing a dock. Having the starting audio at 5 instead of max! I wish more games did that. There's real nice attention to detail throughout!

Cute and relaxing game. Feels like a smaller sibling to "islanders".

Although I got this on sale, I'd say it's still worth the regular price. It's a simple version of other similar games. It's cute and a little bit clunky at times, with some things left to be desired, but for what it's worth, it is a relaxing game. The colors and music are soothing, and it's nice to have some variety in terms of choosing the type of area you'll be building in (e.g. Alpine vs. Desert vs. Grassland vs. Wayo). It's got just enough variety to not get super boring too quickly. Being confined to a set number of small to medium islands per map makes this game even easier to pick up and put down, so it's a nice alternative to own and have a go at in between meetings or just killing a short amount of time, especially with a "daily" challenge map. I do wish sandbox allowed for more expansion, like if more islands were revealed after connecting the visible ones, and even in the normal mode, the large islands don't feel that much larger than medium so I found myself spending similar amounts of times on any of the cluster sizes (small/medium/large). That all said, I still think it's worth the <$5 and is a nice little addition to the library. I picked this up as a fan of games like Dorfromantik and Islanders, both of which I've played a lot more. To me, Islanders has been much more satisfying for me to the point I double dipped and got it on both Steam and Switch.

Wer gerne siedelt, sollte sich Tranquil Isle mal anschauen. In Tranquil Isle platziert man Gebäude, die einen gewissen Punktewert haben, welcher sich durch angrenzende Gebäude verändern kann (positiv wie negativ). Je nachdem, wieviele Siedlerpunkte man erreicht hat, hat man die Auswahl zwischen 2 "Kartenpaketen", die neue Gebäude enthalten, um mehr Punkte zu sammeln und so andere Inseln frei zu schalten. Hier muss man also nicht nur einfach siedeln, sondern strategisch denken, wie man die Gebäude am besten platziert, um einen möglichst hohen Punktewert zu erreichen. Dass gewisse Gebäude "zusammengehören", versteht sich von selbst. Mir hat Tranquil Isle viel Spaß gemacht, ich werde es wohl noch öfter anwerfen, ich kann mir dieses Spiel auch gut als mobiles Game auf Smarthones vorstellen. ****************************************** If you like settling, you should take a look at Tranquil Isle. In Tranquil Isle, you place buildings that have a certain point value, which can be changed (positively or negatively) by neighbouring buildings. Depending on how many settler points you have achieved, you can choose between 2 ‘map packs’, which contain new buildings to collect more points and unlock other islands. So you don't just have to settle, you have to think strategically about how best to place the buildings in order to maximise your points. It goes without saying that certain buildings ‘belong together’. I had a lot of fun with Tranquil Isle, I will probably play it more often and I can also imagine this game as a mobile game on smartphones.

Lovely - super mellow and laid back vibes. Music is perfect too. Well worth the price and definitely a game I can see myself coming back to when i need to chill

A very cosy town builder game. The game does a good job of creating a relaxing experience.

really cute game! engaging in a way that tickles my brain without stressing it out but also great for just leaving on while i work on other things. great atmosphere between the soundtrack and the dynamic night/day cycle. there's a surprising amount of things available including a few different modes. i especially love all the little townsfolk that populate the area as you build. definitely worth the buy!

Despite my love of this beautiful game, I don't get a lot of time to play because life happens. When I get time and need a breather I go straight to Tranquil Isle and immediately everything falls away. I'm immersed in the game and the sound track. Don't hesitate to get it as your getaway game. It's so great that I'm hoping for another game from the Dev in the future. Original review: Beautiful, very chill, and cozy game. Sound track is beautiful and soothing. Found this amazing gem by accident in my Steam Discovery Queue. It was right in the middle of a bunch of other games that weren't chill or cozy, or what I was looking for. Love it so much I immediately gifted it to a friend and made her day. Haven't played it a lot yet... holiday weekend and other commitments, but this will be one of my go to kick back and relax games going forward. My thanks to the Dev for creating this wonderful game. He was friendly and helpful when I had questions.

I want to like this game, considering I have a lot of playtime in both ISLANDERS + ISLANDERS 2 but there is just so much lacking especially at the same price point as the previously mentioned games. Pros: + It does have a lofi feel + Cute art direction + Free decor items to place around the islands + Bridges and pathways to connect the islands and make things feel a bit more realistic/lived in Cons: - There is no undo last placement button (a staple of the genre), means every placement is final - To calculate total score you have to return to menu which is clunky but also incentivising spamming and cramming buildings for high score without seeing score/final product together - No reason to chase high scores because you only have a VERY SMALL amount of buildings to place (I also went a whole run without seeing a farm somehow) - Score gathering is just not satisfying Overall, I feel it is more worth to spend the same amount on either ISLANDERS or ISLANDERS 2 which have more replay ability and more QoL features. This game feels almost unfinished and whilst it is not very expensive I still could not find a single positive to actually purchase this over.

Es war auf meinem Pile of Shame also habe ich es endlich mal angezockt, aber ich denke es ist wirklich nur etwas für einen Quicky. Es ist mega süß und die Idee ist toll. Auch habe ich keine Bugs mitbekommen, ABER es ist sehr repetitive und das sehr schnell. Als Idle Game wäre es auch ganz niedlich. Wie Gronkh gerne sagt, Unterstützt Indie Game Entwickler und dieser hier hat Potential auch andere größere Games zu schaffen. Es kostet die Hälfte einer Kippenpackung und da hast du sogar weniger gutes drin als in dem Game. Also zück dein PayPal Login und hol es dir.
