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.

July 2024

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.

June 2024

Paid £14 for the game, I would say it's worth closer to £8. There's really not much too it and it feels like this is either an early access game that will improve over time or it's one of those super basic time wasters for when you have a few minutes with nothing to do. Ironically it would make a decent mobile game but still requires more content to feel "complete". My experience of it so far is that you pick a game style (campaign, skirmish or challenge), apply a difficulty and start playing. The gameplay itself is super minimal, being combine combos from different tiles to get hearts, more hearts = more good = win and every 5 "turns" there is a winter that takes away some of your hearts. That's it. That's the entire game. There's a slight rogue-lite aspect of getting renown to unlock different clans that have different bonuses but that's fairly minimal. I've recommended the game because at it's core, it is fun. I liked it. I will play it again. In terms of a rating, it's probably a 6-10. Above average but only just, probably buy it on sale instead of full price. What I would like to see from this game is further content, building on the existing features with gradual expansions. The ways I see to do this would be, + adding more tile types as there appears to be only 6, one of which is useless plus unique "wonder" tiles. + creating a more distinct feeling between clans, perhaps visual differences for buildings. + creating more distinct zones, meaning that the glacial map doesn't generate grasslands while the wetlands doesn't generate highlands, ect. And each could have a different colour overlay, so the glacial map is lighter and blue tinted while the wetlands is darker with a brown tint. + adding tooltips to show what buildings you can currently built in zones, even if it's just a symbol for production and a symbol for bonus buildings (I.E fisherman would be a heart and shipyard would be a plus) + mark or automatically claim explorations with 0 cost.
