About
In Ranchbound you take charge of your own ranch. Raise cattle, keep your herd healthy, and turn a few head of cattle into a powerful herd. Hire cowboys, assign their duties, and decide how your ranch will grow as new opportunities and risks appear on the frontier.
The world around you is alive: settler towns and Native tribes live their own lives, and your actions can improve their situation or make it much worse. You can invest in local businesses to shape the region’s economy, or focus simply on your own profits.
Grow your herd:
Start with just a few head of cattle, raise newborn calves into mature cows, and build a powerful herd that becomes the foundation of your ranch.
Hire cowboys:
Recruit cowboys and assign them to different duties around the ranch, taking their individual skills and needs into account.
Expand your ranch:
As your herd grows, develop your ranch to manage your livestock more efficiently.
Build economic influence:
Buy land, invest in railroads and other local businesses.
Survival elements:
Keep an eye on your cowboys’ fatigue and morale, and remember that their work deserves a wage. Do not neglect your herd either - disease can devastate your cattle if you are not prepared.
From a modest homestead to a thriving ranch, survive in the Wild West.

after 30 minutes of gameplay this is an EXTREMELY empty game, id say at its current state its maybe worth 5 euro. all you do is put cows at a pasture then you wait. literally i would not buy it again. not enough content, basically zero QoL in the game either. its like someone told an AI to make a cowboy game. from the ''about the game'' i got the impression we could add buildings to our ranch and design it abit. but no, all you can do is buy more of the preplaced grassfields, build and upgrade 2 preplaced cow-pens, upgrade your house to fit more cowboys. in the town you can play 2 very basic gambling games, sell cows, buy 3 businesses and buy railroad bonds and take bankloans. thats it (from what i have seen so far)
Not an interesting game. Looks more like one of those online arcade games you do on facebook. The only thing you do is putting your cows on a pasture, and then wait untill they grow. You don't even need a bull to breed, it appears... No strategy, nothing to do besides waiting, and then selling the cows. Boring. Not worth the money in this state.

Hmmm.... ganz klar ein Clone des Spiels "Far West" von, ach ich weiß nicht wann, irgendwann vor 15,20 Jahren..... ich hab das Spiel damals sehr gerne gezockt. Von daher bin ich froh über diese "Neuauflage" allerdings hätte ich mir da vor allem graphisch mehr erhofft.... auch von der Spieltiefe fehlt da noch einiges.... bin mal gespannt, wie sich das Game entwickelt, momentan leider nur Durschnitt und das "Original" Far West war Stand jetzt um einiges besser..... aber wie gesagt, mal abwarten, wie sich diese Nummer hier entwickelt...... aufgrund meiner "Liebe" zu "Far West" und da es erst veröffentlicht wurde gibts einen Daumen hoch..... aber unter Vorbehalt
Wish this game was good. As of not it is nothing like the video shows. Like other reviews state, its basically a waiting sim. Put cows on grass, wait till they breed then sell them and buy more grass. Sure there is other stuff that can happen but its minimal and not really an issue. Hopefully it gets better and I return for a future review.
I'm giving it a thumbs up to support the game, since creating an indie game is tough. That said, the game came out today and I've already put 6 hours into it, but unfortunately—aside from selling cows—there isn't much of substance; it's a bit too simple... there aren't really any stakes. I'd really like the creator to reply to this message and let us know if more content is coming soon, because right now it feels like a demo.
Barebones AF , I'm so mad, i played for like 30 mins, then thought i closed the game. Apparently I didn't and now it's been way to much time for a refund.. Nice idea for a game, but poor execution... ID say a 5$ Indi game not worth much more than that. I seen better cell phone games.. Wat a rip off
Love this game! It reminds me of one of my childhood favorites, Far West, but with much better graphics. The only thing missing is having to feed the cowboys while they’re out in the fields. Apparently, they can work all day without food. Tough guys… or secretly photosynthesizing. Already a solid game, though. Absolutely loving it!
Game is extremely slow. Spent 20 minutes to observe 6 cows be born, 2 get sick and die, and me still unable to get another pasture for them to feed. My rancher dude got tired and slept for 3 straight days as well. Refunded, not much happening, was quite boring.
I love economic strategy games. Very excited. Already enjoying myself immensely, and I'm excited to continue buying up railroad shares.
Leider direkt abgebrochen.... sry hab mir da echt mehr erhofft. Ein Kalb nach 1 Tag geboren (ok vielleicht war die Kuh schon schwanger) aber am 2. Tag schon erwachsen? Das ist total unrealistisch. Desweiteren sieht man kaum etwas über die Kühe. Wieviele Stiere / Kühe hat man? Welche Tiere sind trächtig? Schade hätte viel Potenzial aber wurde leider verschwendet und ist so nur ein langeweiliges sinnfreies Klickerspiel... Deinstalliert und zurückgegeben.
