Description
Banished is a city building game where you control a group of exiled people who are restarting their lives in the wilderness. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

The townspeople work, build, get older, have children, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and fed are essential to making a successful town grow. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so.

There are many occupations that the people can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to fishing, teaching, and healing. You can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, and more!
  • Build a city with any layout you want with almost no restriction on when, what, and where you build.
  • Keep the population happy and healthy by providing them with food and warm shelter.
  • Watch the town grow as you assign 20 different jobs to build buildings, grow food, craft tools and clothing, and more!

Wonderful game

Banished is a wonderful and perfect game. It's fun and full of surprising features. The only little "but" is that it can be very difficult to play (and letting your citizens survive) without mods at first. But the mods are easily installed to the game so you don't get stuck. It's one of the few games I really do like and you won't get tired of playing the game the first month or two. :-D

It's great...

This game is one of the few things that can distract me to the point where I start to worry if I have actually time travelled. I've played this every now and then for years now, and I think I should have been bored by now, but I'm not. I'm pretty sure it's either witchcraft or unknown future technology that's causing all this time warp nonsense. Say your prayers/put on your foil hat and see if you can find the secret to this rediculously addictive game where almost nothing happens.

Perfect

This is the escape I've been looking for for a long, long time! Excellent design and challenging concept; there's no need for conquest or army, surviving the winter is hard enough! Perfect!

Good game, awesome mods, try them!

The game is really good, I liked the style, the atmosphere, the survival aspect of the game, but after you manage to survive well, it gets a bit boring. Now the game dev and a group of modders made a colonial charter mod that makes this game shine and turns it into an outstanding city builder. New terrains that are actually hard to play, events, buildings, climates and so on. Try it!
