Valley of No Roads

Tutorial is unclear and undirected - it just generates a small map and tells you rules after you've clicked down a bunch of pieces. Tool tips that show up for the tutorial no longer show up for the main game, because you've obviously memorized what these blocky, ill-defined shapes do and don't need any refresher, right? Then the game is just putting down pieces in weird configurations and the game ending because it didn't randomly generate a Town Hall that can get you new pieces in a place that you could reach with your pieces. This isn't much of a game and isn't interesting. If you want puzzle-placement that feels like city building and allows ranked play, go get Dorfromantik or The Islanders. Those are actually good versions of what this is trying to be, and have similar price points.

Very strange, ill explained game with very little to it. There are no different kinds of buildings to place, just blocks after blocks of the same building. Some other things like market places or grain fields spawn randomly on the map, and random numbers hover over them, but the actual placement you get to do is just the one ever same group of buildings in a number of tetris block shaped configurations

It is not that I do not like the game. I like the idea. What I have a problem with is that you can NOT save the game. You either have to play on or let the board go if you need to leave and do something else. This is something they need to add. Also they better guide on how to play. I hope they have more updates the last that I can see was back in June.

Wow! That was a total waste of time. Gimme back my money.

Tutorial could be clearer, help dialogues could be a little bit better, but all over a verry nice puzzle game. Challanging and cute. Yes it needs improvement, but it is promising! I love it so far.

Tetris-like attempt on city building, not worth the time and money

The game looks beautiful, and I wish I could say good things, but unfortunately, the game is borderline unplayable. The tutorial is worthless; it doesn't tell you the game controls, and there is no way to look them up. The gameplay expects the player to perform tasks that it doesn't explain how to accomplish. Anything you manage to build before you inevitably run out of pieces looks dead and lifeless. Look up Islanders instead, it's a much stronger version of what this wants to be.

I would love to play this game, but the control in it is a real torture. Hotkeys are set counterintuitively, blocks cannot be selected by clicking the mouse, some functions such as demolition or movement remained inaccessible to me, since there is no information on which keys are controlled either in the tutorial or in the menu. At the same time, the idea is cool and the visual part too! It is a pity to give up this game, but it is impossible to play it at this stage.

the UE is horrible. don't buy

Fun.
