Great citybuilder with some minor issues

just a quick review so far, after backing it a year ago: extremely nice progression, but some bugs are persistent, like the "no food" when both food is in storage and vendors actually are selling, in the shop and wares are in the shop. Otherwise great game!

Great game with a lot of potential

Absolutely stunning graphics in a style that really appeals to me. Great city building game with tons of options and progression choises. On thenegative side, a lot of notifications about things that are really hard to understand how to solve. Also that it is possible to place buildings that blocks access to itself or other buildings. This was "fixed" back in Settlers 4 ...

addictive game :)

the game itself is pretty fun. the mods don't always work the way they're supposed to. I also don't like that you can't rotate buildings to make them fit. have really enjoyed playing this game.

Nice an Cozy but

Nice and relaxing game but it misses some activities for the "endgame". But if you like to relax and watch your town grow, just buy it!
