Jan. 2025

A good successor to Banished, especially now that people disinterested in raiders can turn them off independent of turning off hostile animals, since I'm more often ok with the latter in a game, even when not in the mood at all for army combat. The crop rotation system is nicely robust, and the industry chain is satisfying. It's a game that feels less about sprawling across the map, compared to upgrading the environment around house so the houses themselves get upgraded to higher population capacity, many of the non residential buildings upgrade as well, based on availability of resources or population, rather than relying on building more individual structures for every bump up in production. The graphics are quite nice, and on my somewhat middle-of-the-road gaming computer, I don't have performance issues, even having bumped population cap up to 1000. Maybe not my absolute favorite city builder/resource management game I've been watching and playing for the past few years, but it's definitely up there and I feel it was worth the purchase as I keep it in my game rotation.

Reviewed at version 0.9.6c. Love this game. It feels complete at this point, I have very few complaints. The hard mode feels appropriately like actually trying to feed a village in untamed wilds. The level of complexity is deep, but it's approachable rather than overwhelming. I love the way they handle crop rotation and trade. It feels slow unless you play it on max speed, but then it's fine. This is a 9.5/10 for me. My only gripe is I would like more variable map terrain. Water bodies and mountains are generally round, no rivers. I would love rivers and bridges to break it up and make me adjust my village layout more. I would also really like sliders in random map generation to force more mountains or lakes. I like the random maps, but I find myself rerolling several times so that I don't just get a large landmass without variation. Hopefully more map variety is coming. If it never does, it's still an excellent game.

Visuals 8/10 Sound 9/10 Controls 8/10 Story 2/10 Gameplay 9/10 Best feature: Scamming one trader with the other one Worst feature: Non existence of other villages Replayability: Yes Multiplayer: No Price:6/10 for theoretical 12€ on other unknown websites 9/10 Game definetly needs a little more work or even a little campaign to freshen it up, but since the devs so far have not given up this game and are updating it, it might reach a point where it justifies the price as well

Pretty great colony sim. Has come a long way. Does it do much different? Not really, but its not super complex and I like that about it. Its very much play at your own pace with great game design compared to the over cluttered other colony sims. Relaxing game to play.

I'm coming from Against the Storm, which I loved and it made me look for more supply chain heavy base building RTS games that are more thematic and less of a spreadsheet, so I landed on Manor Lords and Farthest Frontier. ML felt so half baked I gave up pretty quickly, but I've sunk some hours into FF and definitely like the bones of what's there. It has some significant technical and design flaws though. Technical: there was quite a lot of screen tearing, the performance overall seems pretty poorly optimized, and most importantly - every time you click a building, the entire game freezes for half a second. Even mousing over a building in the build menu causes a short freeze. Design: the game puts critical resources out of reach far too often, forcing the player into a trader-heavy strat. Unfortunately, the traders themselves are an RNG clown show, so relying on a trader showing up ready to buy what you happen to have, and also selling what you need, and also not selling it at an inflated premium for some reason, means you can be left sitting around while the game more or less stonewalls you. Can't shoehorn the player into a trading focus and then have the traders be so unreliable. I'm not suggesting it do away with different biomes having different resource strengths, but it needs tweaking. I finally found a clay pit in year 12, a hike away from my settlement. I finally start farming clay so I can upgrade my town to level 2, but you need 200 clay and they were harvesting it with agonizing slowness - it was going to take years to be able to get enough to upgrade to level 2. It didn't help that, arbitrarily, there are six worker slots for the clay pit but you can only use two of them. UI, it's a little unclear why they show you some resources along the top, but for the rest you have to open a separate window. Just have everything under a category appear when you mouse over it at the top, easy. But like I said the bones are good enough that I kept playing and am looking forward to a finished/fixed product. Some raiders attacked, and since I had been playing a "figure it out" game and hadn't really built defenses beyond a single guard tower, I figured it was over and I should start a new one. But over in the direction they were attacking from, I had a lone hunter shack in the woods, with Myra living alone out in the wilderness hunting deer for the settlement. When the raider band passed through her woods, instead of running away, to my surprise she immediately turned her bow on the raiders and started picking them off. They went into town and raided the storehouse, which was just in range of the guard tower and another hunter, so only three of the raiders escaped (though they took my gold and some other stuff). On their way back out through Myra's woods, she sniped two more of them. The lone survivor is traumatized to this day. 6.5/10, could be a 8.5/10 with significant technical improvements and balance changes.
