  A less cruel Frostpunk. Suggestions: - Villagers should sleep at the place that is closest to their workspace, or we should be able to specify the sleeping place for individual villager - There should be a priority for storage places. I keep ending up having 40/40 heal herbs in Onbu healing camp and 0 in villager healing camp - There should be a setting for animation speed, after 10 hours it kind of gets on my nerves to wait .5 seconds when switching zoom - Maybe there should be an even faster time setting, 6x? Overall, I'd give the game 7/10 right now and up to 10/10 if it keeps getting updates.

  If video games are themselves a tech tree, "Banished" unlocks a lot of different other games. Itself "what if Sim City but production chains," you can up the game aspects and come up with Timberborn, lower them and get Age of Man, add in more narrative and get Frostpunk, up the individuality and you get Rimword, up the production chain detail and get One More Island, up the detail and realism and get Farthest Frontier and so on. Yeah, this isn't literal, don't @ me about chronology. The Wander Village is what if Banished, but a strategic layer. Strategic layers are fun ideas that usually don't work too well, because inevitably it means jamming one game onto another game, and one of the pair will suffer. Even when it works, it doesn't work. The Wandering Village is the exception because the strategic layer is intuitive. It's a big animal, it gets hungry, tired, and sick. It takes care of itself, but does better with some attention, and needs more the later in the game and the harder the environment. It takes the place of what might be the military aspect of a different game, and like the best implementations of those feels wrapped tightly in, creating a wide spectrum of choices and ways to develop. I suspect that the tech tree and food will be tinkered with, and the UI has some frustrations. There is no ability to determine the sex of the rock dinosaur, which, come on devs, you're leaving a solid Discworld gag lying right there. I'm undecided on whether the event pacing is right, but that will make a difference for the replayability. It feels priced correctly in terms of what you get now, so it's recommendable in early access, and more about whether anything gets screwed up in the finalization of the game rather than what more gets added. So, while it depends on what you're looking for out of a city builder, this is a recommend if you like them.

  Bought it out of curiosity, because i do love building/colony sims. And... played for about 5 or more hr straight! couldn't stop! definitely impressive game! can't wait for more updates! since i did kinda run out of stuff to do. got about 120 nomads, have steady food supply, now just need more content! once there is a lot more to build/explore and do, will start a new game and finish again! Awesome game!

  Oh my gosh, this scratched every itch I've had for a while for "that game you click around hoping to find, but can't quite describe, and isn't quite there." I love the level of control over resource output and staffing, the mechanics are well-thought-out, there's the meta-level of caring for the creature, the art-work is gorgeous. I've played six hours and am IN LOVE with this game and concept. I loved seeing the personal greeting from the team too! Thinking of: encounters with other creatures / cultures? Trade / combat? Some more differentiation among art for dwellings is my ONLY ask as of right now, knowing this is early access yet. =)

  First of all, I really like the art style and the game concept. It's quite relaxing and fun for the first couple hours. However, there isn't much content. What make it worse is that there isn't much content planned based on the Early Access road map recently announced. For a management/building game, 5-6 hours of play with no replay value is nightmare. All being said, not worth the price even consider the planned update according to the road map.

  I'm honestly a bit torn on this game. First of all, it's quite fun to play. The mechanic to basically keep your mount "alive" is interesting, there's a lot of different buildings you can utilize and the "world map" feature in which you can basically send out scavenger squads to harvest resources (like in frostpunk, for example) is good and fun and. The building system is also quite simple and not very complex, which might be a plus for many people, personally, I'd prefer a little bit more depth. I did have a lot of fun with the game, but there's also major gripes: First of all, while the "keep your mount alive" part is interesting, it's also unnecessary - you have to feed the thing once every 30 minutes and that's it. I've build the doctor hut for it and not once did I have to use it besides healing a poison once, and I could've just not done that. It's a badly balanced mechanic that doesn't really serve any purpose and just occupies a handful of villagers, you have to manually turn the buildings on and off to free them so they can do something more useful. Second, the graphics. While they are not bad by any means and the creature you're riding on is gorgeous, the village and the villager itself are all 2D and this vastly downgrades the visual fidelity. I don't know why they made the decision to create the game in 2D - potentially because of a small team and not enough resources to create a 3D or at least 2.5D game, but it's a major factor that really rubs me the wrong way. The last problem is simple - content. You can finish a run in about 3 - 4 hours. Your last task is to build a big statue that costs a few advanced resources (which you should honestly have at the end of the run) and then it basically transforms into endless mode. The problem is that every run feels roughly the same. The map doesn't change, the biomes don't change - you start the same way every time and there is no variety. That's vastly different in other games in the genre - again, I use frostpunk as example. Frostpunk has edicts, so you can alter the ideology of your town. You can be a highly christian authoritarian that basically creates the nazi-vatican that forces children to work in coal mines or you can become the benevolent mayor of your little ice city. Also, there is a variety of maps in the game, so every playthrough is different. This is completely missing in the wandering village. It's just the same run over and over again. Overall, I think the game is a bit lacking and the only reason why I'm recommending this is because it's still early access. I have high hopes for the game and if the devs pull the right strings, they could easiely make a great game ouf of this.

  This is a very nice game. The art style is nice and the animations are cute. It has a very interesting take at the city builder genre. Its easy to get in and have a chill time building and managing your settlement. Events are often mild and didnt have any that had my settlement ruined, which I like. The need to adapt to various biomes is interesting and often a good challenge if you are ill-prepared. Especially food and water can turn to be an issue if you react poorly. But that's part of the learning curve. I also like the notion of portraying the need for symbiosis, aka cooperation, between the creature and the people, as they have to struck a balance between exploiting the creature (clearly a stand-in for nature, as its literately carrying us on its back) for own survival, but not to a point that it dies and us with it. As a former Zürcher, wünsch dem entwickler team alle guäti und toi toi toi für alles wiiteri. Hands guät gmacht, toll. :)

  I require onbu plushies. Massive ones. Big enough to be a king sized bed.
