https://youtu.be/z_ye-aALrKo Landnama - Icelandic Rogue-lite Survival Base Builder Steam Game, the concept of the game is fairly fun, and it does enough to separate itself from other Rogue-lite Survival Base Builder Game. Overall the gameplay loop is very simple, set up your base, maximize your resources and hope that you find that extra pasture (or swamp or whatever) to help grow your city. Survive the winter, explore some more, rearrange your city for the most optimal results and then go and win the game. Some people might find the game slightly boring after the first play though, because even with different tribes and locations, its still has the same core gameplay loop. I played it for 10 hours and I feel like I have seen everything that game has to offer. So overall I recommend this game but I do understand it wont be for everyone. I have attached some gameplay footage above so you can see if its a game that interests you.

This is a strategy puzzle game, where you need to plan your constructions well to maximize your productivity. Winters are harsh, and you need more and more extra resources to survive. If you're looking for rimworld style colony management, you're not getting it here. This is a quite casual game with cute graphics - don't expect many hours of gameplay. If you fancy trying something simple and different, this might be worth giving a shot. Personally it's not worth the current price imho, so wait for a good discount.

It's a decent game. I definitely recommend it for recreational purposes between more hardcore games. + Interesting, not complicated, well-balanced mechanics. + Nice ambient music, even though it is a little bit monotonous. - The tutorial is slightly crumpled.

Landnama is a simple economy management game with only one real currency to manage: heart. Despite that apparent simplicity, there's a surprising amount of depth to the gameplay - managing that one factor is your only concern as you try to survive each coming winter, with every building and exploration demand cutting into your reserves but ultimately being an investment you can't afford not to make. By keeping things simple, Landnama manages to scratch my city-builder itch without forcing me to juggle ten resources, five production chains, and a cluttered UI. It also means that games are short, bitesize morsels that don't outstay their welcome - a satisfying victory condition you can hit in thirty minutes is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual build-em-up method of drip feeding you progress over a hundred hours. Landnama is a tightly designed little gem.

It's nice, but the tags are totally misleading. At the time of writing this is tagged as "Roguelite, Survival, City Builder, Strategy, 2D". Of those tags I would say only 2D is a "yes" and strategy is a "maybe". It is a 2D puzzle game with some random elements and strategy choices involved. I have about 4 hours of playtime, have completed the "Saga" (campaign) three or four times and it feels like I have pretty much exhausted what the game has to offer. The graphics are nice, as is music. The UI is ok but they seem to have tried a little too hard to make it a console game playable on a PC. I recommend it, it is a nice little indie game made by three friends and the whole thing is pleasant, but it really doesn't offer much once you figure out how to think around build order and some planning/prioritizing. Each map is random but they all play the same. Increasing difficulty requires no change in strategy, only that you have smaller margin of error. I felt that it was nicer to just chill with it on difficulty 2/5 as the higher difficulty levels mostly felt like it turned the game into a simple but clunky math problem. There is only one resource, it is used for everything, and all buildings produce that same resource. There are five production buildings depending on the tile you place them on, they all have one or two booster buildings you can place next to them, and one building that increases your capacity of the one resource. Every game year ends with winter, and if you don't have enough of the resource by then two times in a row you lose. That's it.
