The gameplay of this early access city-building game is characterized by a solid core experience, though it suffers from some rough mechanics and a lack of depth in content. Players appreciate the addictive building loop and creative potential, but many note that the limited options and clunky mechanics can lead to repetitiveness and frustration. While the game shows promise and has a charming atmosphere, it currently lacks depth in combat and survival elements, with the campaign primarily serving as a basic tutorial.
- “Love the gameplay of this city building game.”
- “This game is absolutely amazing — from the atmosphere to the mechanics, it’s clear that an incredible amount of care and passion has gone into every part of its development.”
- “The gameplay loop scratches that builder’s itch in all the right ways.”
- “The amount of content and mechanics they aim to add just in 2025 is just not plausible, not even if they had 800 developers (which they don't).”
- “On top of that, the gameplay itself was weighed down by an exhausting grind, and the tutorial felt overly simplistic, offering little guidance beyond the bare minimum.”
- “Mechanically, you upgrade individual pieces and are supposed to be able to share/get other users' buildings, but that doesn't work, so for now you hand-build everything, which would be fine if there weren't additional needs needing to be done for your colony while you're trying to build.”

Despite these issues, the game's potential and enjoyable mechanics keep players optimistic for future updates.

- “Stunning visuals, an intuitive economy, and a creative sandbox mode make every moment a joy.”
- “Amazing graphics, responsive and smooth control.”
- “The graphics were far below expectations, closer to the blocky, unpolished style of Roblox or Minecraft rather than the polished visuals I had anticipated.”

- “Muted medieval visuals, parchment-style UI, and a haunting soundtrack set a somber tone.”

The game's story is engaging at the outset, particularly during the tutorial, which introduces a witty side character and immerses players in the narrative. However, players express disappointment with the lack of depth and variety in quests after the initial experience, noting that many become repetitive and uninspired. While the potential for dynamic storytelling exists, it currently feels underdeveloped, leaving players eager for future updates to enhance the narrative and quest systems.
- “Amazing game! I have 10 hours in 3 days of buying it. The game has a good story, and even though there are a few bugs, it's early access, so it's expected. The dev is friendly and tries to help when needed. The game is full of things to do, and even after 20+ hours, it's still fun to help or walk around seeing your progress on the village.”
- “When you first start with the tutorial, they give you a whole story and a side character that follows you around and is kind of witty and funny. The story in the tutorial makes you feel like you just got put into the character's shoes and want to help the town. While there are tons of bugs and glitches, the beginning was interesting.”
- “Emergent storytelling makes each run unique—one may end in revolt, another in a strategic marriage alliance. These story beats give weight to every construction decision.”
- “Since the game doesn’t have much depth in terms of story or quests, it relies heavily on its building mechanics.”
- “I suggest doing the 2 campaigns first, it will show more but they only have 2, also the campaign gives little story about why you're where you are.”
- “On their website, they say there's a 'dynamic quest system,' but right now it still feels really early and not as comprehensive as they make it seem.”

Players have also found opportunities for comedic interactions, particularly through creative use of AI to generate humorous conversations with in-game characters. Despite some bugs, the overall experience has been enjoyable and funny for many users.
- “Well, hear me out - you can (very simply) slap a GPT key in there and have long faux conversations with your villagers - with potentially hilarious consequences. I was trying to convince one poor peasant that I was not a lord at all, but a time-traveling radical - here to stir up revolution and free the workers from oppression. A difficult concept for a medieval peasant... or even a modern one.”
- “They have a few bugs they are working out, but I have had a lot of funny moments playing so far.”
- “When you first start with the tutorial, they give you a whole story and a side character that follows you around and is kind of witty and funny. The story in the tutorial makes you feel like you just got put into the character's shoes and want to help the town.”

character development

Character development in the game is seen as a promising aspect, with intuitive building mechanics that allow for community growth and relationship building. However, players feel that dialogue and character interactions require significant improvement, and there are limitations in customization options, particularly in constructing functional spaces. Overall, while the foundation is solid, there is still much work needed, especially in combat and character engagement.
- “These strategies apply to character development and relationships within your growing community.”
- “Good character design is present, but the dialogue still needs a lot of work. The building mechanics are intuitive and easy to use, though I wish I had more control over what to build. I tried to build a library and attach a house to it, but the house wouldn't let me put a bed in it. Overall, it's a good game, but it's still in early access and has plenty of work to go. I will say that the combat definitely needs a lot more work; it feels a bit stiff.”
