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!

Completely Broken Abandonware

I thought it was fun, until the bugs kicked in full tilt. People starving to death next to a full storage barn, freezing to death when its July and 80 and plenty of firewood around. Having 6 workers on a field against a storage barn and getting it less than 10% harvested by the time a late freeze came in. The entire game is broken at its core. Too bad people give all of these false positives, if they just told the truth you wouldn't even buy the game at a low price like I did based on the completely false reviews of this abandoned and incomplete Alfa game.. There was great potential but they dropped it for whatever reason and left us the shell.

Feels unfinished and barebone

I feel like i was tricked to buy this game and honestly quite betrayed. i dont see any point, there are no goals. once you get your first colony running (a few hrs max) thats basically it. done. there are no levels or maps. no progression. a tiny bit of balance and resource management and you are good, i dont see the challenge or anything really. its not even close to the complexity like the first anno game... only a very limited amount of buildings and even with those, theres not really any enjoyment or sense of progression. i absolutely do not understand why this game gets so much good reviews. it feels like still in early access. even the visuals vare very very basic. it absolutely feels pointless, and the price is ridiculous. you can get warcraft 2 for half the price wich is an infinetly better game. or stardey valley, or city skylines or even some old games like settler 2 and sim city 2...
