I am a big fan of city building games and this title seems to be quite interesting addition to the genre. I enjoyed food nutrition system (you can grow turnips but it will not be too efficient, so better to produce wurst using the same turnips). Production chains are pleasantly complicated, this aspect of game can be a bit complicated for player not familiar with titles that inspired Hearthlands (Zeus, Caesar and some aspects of Majesty), but I thinks those complications actually are a big benefit of the game as they will challenge experienced gamers. Graphics is not the strongest side of Hearthlands but I think its OK for strategy game. I hope developer will add campaign mode and bigger maps option (if it is technically possible) as future improvements were promised.
