Dorfromantik is a relaxing building strategy and puzzle game in which you place tiles to create ever-growing, idyllic village landscapes. With Dorfromantik, you can immerse yourself in a quiet, peaceful world at any time and take a break from everyday life. At the same time, Dorfromantik offers a challenge for those who are looking for one: To beat the highscore, you need to carefully plan and strategically place your tiles.
In Dorfromantik you start with a stack of procedurally generated tiles. One after the other, you draw the top tile of the stack, place it on one available slot and rotate for the best fit. Thereby groups and combinations of landscapes are formed, such as forests, villages or water bodies, and you are rewarded with points depending on how well the tile fits.
On some tiles you will also encounter special objects that give you a quest: For example, the windmill wants to border 6 grain fields, the locomotive wants to be connected to 10 tracks or the deer wants to inhabit a forest with at least 50 trees. Fulfill these quests to get more tiles to continue the expansion of your landscape. The game ends when the tile stack is used up.
As you expand the landscape, you can advance into new, colorful biomes and discover pre-placed game objects that give you long-term tasks. Through these tasks you can unlock new tiles, new biomes and new quests.

It is, as it says on the tin, a nice and relaxing, Carcassonne style game, a low impact thing to enjoy. It's fun, entertaining, and easy to get, my 6-yr old kid can happily click away as well (I'm not bothered by how that influences my 'score board', it's not that kind of game ;-) ). The reason that for me it's four and not five stars is because I find myself happily playing two or three games and then clicking away, obviously it doesn't entice me to keep playing for longer stretches at a time. That's all me, not the game, your mileage may vary. Also, this is a new release so I'm sure the developers are still tweaking things. Should they read this: a small in-game manual or mouse-over option about what the numbers+signs mean and what the flags mean would be appreciated, I keep forgetting what's what and haven't found a quick way to look that up yet. (Yes, I know it's explained in the tutorial, but my memory ain't what it used to be...) However, that is a minor thing, a nice to have rather than a must have, as I said it's a fun game to play and I definitely enjoy it for the occasional casual game. Happy with my purchase.
It is really cool although I wish there was more of it (not just challenges). It really needs a free play mode where you just place the tiles you want (like in Townscapes)/ Still for this price it is highly recommended if you need a relaxing, slightly challenging puzzle game
This is super chill. I love tile laying board games and this caught my eye straight away. I do not regret the purchase!
Already feeling bad when I think I haven't placed tiles in the most aesthetically pleasaing way haha!
What else can I say? This game soothes my inner conflict of gaming vs. being a productive member of society. All my cares melt away, except where to put this funky railroad tile. I would play this with friends as a physical board game but I'd miss all the cute animations. Just hurry up and buy!
As developers state themselves in the video, aside from points you get for placing the tiles (which you can just ignore altogether) there is no combat, trade or any competitive element in Dorfromantik. This is an extremely peaceful game full of cute little details that fit really well together. Despite the fact that it looks like a board game, everything on the board feels alive: here's a tiny grass decal swishing in the river, there's a tiny puff of smoke raising from the rooftop, trees are swaying to the wind and deers are grazing the grass near the forest tiles.
It feels very relaxing and is fully worth its really low price. The only thing I can complain about is that the gameplay looks nothing like the video. Forget about seeing long, meandering rivers and railways that actually look nice. Maybe this is just my RNG, but roughly half of the time I get those stupid X, Y and K pieces that just make a lattice-like mess on my board.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
