Schöner Zeitvertreib.
Not a very complex City Builder, but it's fun. It's actually very easy and fast to finish along with most Steamworld games so if you have 10-ish hours to kill and like simpler city builders this works wonders. Also, the mining sections of the game are extremely entertaining and brings back memories of Dungeon Keeper style games. As for story I expected nothing and yet found an interesting connection to Heist and the "future" of the series, again seeing how heist came before and slowly the timeline is being connected.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The theme is fine, and I love sims/city builders. But the interface is a little clunky and it's a bit repetitive. Wait for lumber so you can build new houses so you can have enough towns-people to achieve the next tech tier. There weren't a whole lot of interesting decisions to make along the way.
Love this game, very chill with a bit of strategy.
Great game! Excellent realisation and optimization!
Fun game. Real fun :)
Worth it on sale if you want to dump a few hours, gameplay is repetitive after first playthrough.
I love this game, I bought it from Greenman as part of a bundle and didnt think much of it at all until I started playing it and then ended up spending a good 5 hours non stop. I love RTS games and this is like no other, mechanics and graphics are literally out of this world, every bit of detail is pixel perfect. I really like the guassian blur around the edges as you walk around and pan the camera around it is a nice touch. I will be following this developer and hope they come out with new stories with the same engine of this game because it is one of the best in its class.
Doesn't blow you away but also doesn't hurt.
No começo parece fácil, depois vai ficando moderado, mas ele é no geral é bem simples, gosto da série SteamWord. Gráficos simples, bem feito, e até bem criativo.
