Amazing developer = Awesome game I don't even like civilization building games but I fell in love with Bulwark almost instantly! It works great on Steam Deck!

Aug. 2024

Ive seen a few relatively negative updates about this game, and to be honest I do understand them. The game doesn't have a 'purpose' in the same way many others do, but its still quite an early version of the game, and its done by a singular person. I will say, however, that most of the people have gripes about such silly things. "Rahhhh I can't build a harbor" is pretty trivial, no idea what he's talking about. The big thing to realize is that this obviously isn't like many other games, but not in the ways you think. Tomas, the dev, isn't some far disconnected person. He owns the server, and he responds to literally EVERYTHING. You can go on there and just dm him and be like 'yo whats up tomas' and hes gonna respond with like 'nothing much just working on this dope game lol'. He's a super cool dude, and whatever issues you have with the game he fixes. Your game save doesn't work? Send it to him, he will help you out. You don't like how the game plays? Tell him and he's going to consider it and work on it. He's an amazing dude, and he listens to everyone. It honestly blows my mind how this man has the time of day to develop a game by himself and on top of that manage and be immensely active in a discord server like that. And for that interaction and community alone, it's quite worth it. Be a part of something great, and get Bulwark. PS: while the game doesn't have much a purpose if youre anything like me you know you suck at city builders. this game FLATTERS you. you don't even really need to try to make a city look cool, and you get to sit back and be like 'when did i build this...?'. as you get to understand the game more you'll certainly play it through many times to be able to make the things you want to, and in the meantime interact with the community, and work alongside Tomas to make the game great.

Somehow the game's tags on steam got mixed up a few weeks ago - to include 4x, strategy, and immersive sim, amongst others. What it is is a relaxed 3d building sandbox. If the recent reviews still say "mixed" near the time of this review, know that it was accidentally mis-advertised. As far as the game goes - it is a fun free-form city/realm builder with lore to explore and some dynamic story to work through to unlock everything. It's also a bit of a logistics management challenge, because you don't manage the input-output of resources, but you do have to build around the logistics limitations on distributing them. For what it is, it's an excellent game with a dedicated solo dev.

This is an absolute delight of a game, mixing free-flowing city building with strategy, exploration, and diplomacy beautifully. It abstracts enough to be relaxing but keeps one engaged enough through events and exploration to keep one active. I've had so much fun building and watching the world come alive, it's just such a beautiful and delightful game. I think about it when I'm not playing it, and I cannot wait to play more.

Honestly, was introduced to this by a Youtuber, but ultimately, its not for me. If you want a city-builder-like game but without the load balancing problems and the forced Economics 101 lesson, this is for you. This is somewhere between an art project/design simulator and a RTS city-builder. It's definitely geared more towards a relaxed player who is driven more by story and exploration. You will, I promise, build a beautiful, endlessly fascinating city. And that is why it isn't fun for me. The "fun" part, for me is in the struggle to build the best city, but Bulwark puts the focus more on lore and less on building. I agree with all the commentary about the artwork, design and music - for a one man show, this is incredible. He deserves all the accolades which is why I am writing this review. Game designers everywhere should take note - you can make an insanely beautiful game that is shocking in its simplicity. The game play is a little clunky, but only because of its unbelievable simplicity. The entire game can be played with barely 3 or 4 buttons, which, I imagine, is why all the normal City-Builder players are upset. Its disarming in the extreme for a genre famously button and panel heavy to just leave you with not much more than point and click. Originally, that's what drew me to this game, the novel approach to a genre that is notorious for being overwrought and under-baked (looking at you Anno). The "challenge" is less about optimizing resources and balancing competing needs and more about unlocking more and more of the story and the world. Building the "city" is the way you access and explore the world. Build it poorly and it takes longer to get out there. TBH - that's kinda awesome and a really fun spin, but that's a little more role-play/lore heavy than I'm looking for in my city games. I would say this is more a sandbox/open world exploration game that has a City-builder aspect, but not a city-builder itself. This is comparable to a less city-focused Wandering Village or Airborne Kingdom - lots to explore in a very approachable way for newcomers to the City-Building genre.
