Remarkably Engrossing

Do you like fantastical steampunk aesthetics? Do you like supply chain management? Do you like city builders? If you said yes, this game might be for you. The core gameplay loop is surprisingly addictive: you settle an unexplored territory with your intrepid woodland settlers, attempting to complete enough quests for the Queen before her patience runs thin. Along the way, you'll have to gather resources, process them into usable items, and explore the shrouded glades for more resources to collect. Oh, and the yearly storm. Don't forget about the yearly storms where your city gets stress tested. Initially, the mechanics of the game might seem a bit obtuse beyond resource collection. You'll often have to make choices about what kind of town you'd like to build with incomplete knowledge of what the randomly-generated map has to offer, adjusting your supply lines on the fly. However, while I was learning the mechanics, the game's lore and "rainpunk" art design really helped keep me hooked. Once you understand trading and selecting which resources will be used in production, the game is yours. My main criticism of this game is that I wish there was more interaction with your prior settlements. Currently, you can send resources to them for currency, but I'm not sure if there's any rhyme or reason to the resources that they demand. It would be extremely cool to have prior choices in your settlements more directly impact future settlements. It can be a bummer that you don't really get to experience your settlement after you've thoroughly built it out and have a great supply chain going. On the other hand, being forced to start from scratch with a new set of challenges once your original settlement essentially begins to run itself is addicting. You are settlers from the Smoldering City, and the Great Blightstorm is coming to wipe the world clean -- there will be no respite from the rain unless your plucky explorers find a way to end the 25-year cycle of destruction.

Great game

Spent several hours on the demo and fell in love immediately. Pretty complex from the start with increasing difficulty. Bought the full game today.

Crunchy city sim with roguelike elements

I got this on a whim looking for something slower than my typical games and, while you can pause the game so you can catch up command-wise, this game has a lot of compelling choices to make in a single map! The most helpful review at time of writing mentions the variety of map biomes which all affect the run fundamentally (felling trees always gives wood, but sometimes it can also give food or crafting resources based on the map!) and informs how you should plan to build; however, the roguelike elements can sometimes remove a path you really planned on, but then also throw you something that works unexpectedly well. A recent balance patch moved around some of the out-of-map benefits in the tech tree, which can help your runs greatly. Some of the tech tree options are simple passives while others can be more substantial. All of them offer good benefits and I don't feel like there are "duds" in the trees. If you like to watch input and output of things while also making sure you're looking forward to manage a win condition, you'll like this game! It's worth repeating that the roguelike elements make your cities fleeting rather than long-haul maps, so if you want to spend a long time on individual maps it may not draw you as strongly. What sparked my appreciation of this game stems from the usage graph that was recently implemented. I'm a new player who started this game with that feature already live, and it saved my first real map. Food can be scarce sometimes, which you can stretch by combining ingredients into more complex recipes. Still learning the game, I was struggling to find where all my berries were going, and I desperately needed them to make pies to keep the town fed without scarcity. Using the trend graph, I was able to see that they were eating all my berries the moment they hit storage. Going hungry for a minute was the only way to get them to stop eating the berries intended for a pie! Having these options make for a memorable and engaging game!

Not a relaxing builder

Very interesting mix of city building, survival and roguelite. Smooth, intuitive and rewarding gameplay, very well designed. It somewhat keeps you on the edge with random events and environmental hostility. Unfortunately, it gets repetitive pretty quickly and the variety between game rounds is negligable, so I can't imagine playing it for a prolonged period of time.
