You might want to watch a couple YouTube vids to get a sense of it.

I would wait depending on your expectations. I had some good hours, admittedly.
But it's all about what you expect, so I'll say wait, see how the further development goes.

It's neither, as a city builder it's extremely shallow with 20 buildings and broken economy, as a war game it's even more shallow, you don't have any enemy base, only fight troops that come off the map more less randomly and you're not even required to do that except bandits fights which are tiny 10 second fights fights without meaning. It's a game for players who enjoy nice graphics and like to create 50 building village and enjoy animations of villager pulling an ox.

Says the guy that doesn't own the game.

Similar to Banished but a better version. Its a good game enjoying it. havent found any bugs.

You do know (its almost noted everywhere) the game is in early stages.

Would be nice if you actually have some hours into the game before you bash it!

Anyway for someone that now has 40+ hours in the game, there is allot of depth to the mechanics of the game, there is also allot still wrong with it but since its a game made with passion I have no doubt of this improving!

I would say the warfare is currently just army size and not really challenging, its more a race to get your supplies in time.

As of the building aspect you can build a functioning city very quickly if you know how these games work. if you want a efficient city that also looks good be prepared to spend some time into working out the inner workings of the game.

I would say if having an hour of good fun in a game is worth 1 euro to you,
this game will provide you with way more than 30 to make the price worth it!

I don't think the game will last, and with the limited style of the game I already have 40,000 early access games that died and Steam should really put HARSH rules in place because most of the games in early access are never completed or released as "finished" because people got board working on them.

more like call of duty

I would desribe this game as one with some RTS elements that for some reason (in concept) reminds me of old games like Lords of the Realm 2, combined with the simpler town management of Strongholds, combined with some city-building mechanics of Banished/Ostriv/every other such builder.

It is a little bit of everything.

It should be noted you cannot build a SINGLE continuous "your town" across the entire map. Map is broken into regions and you claim them, but then have to build a whole separate new town in those regions. eg, it's essentially like starting over for each region. Of course you do not have to "build up" every region extensively.

thanks again for the news answerings

you can turn it into a Sandbox by making it where no enemies or faction spawn and start with a ♥♥♥♥ ton of resources when you start. i have the game on the Xbox game pass

[AshenImperium]

but doing that would just make the game boring since the entire game is literally Settlement Survival, Similar to Banish or Anno

Boring to you. You is not everyone else. Which is all fine. Different strokes and all that. :)

i'd consider you to wait for a year to see this game's progress. lets just say as a test for the dev's committance. even compared to a lot of early access games ive played this one is severely lacking. its more like a play test demo instead of actual early access, especially when you consider the price tag. sorry, but if any of you are actually worth your salt in early access games you know that potential and promises are the cheapest thing in this land of abandonware.

im genuinely disappointed to how shallow the game actually is just after a few hours after playing it. i already expect it to be unfinished and whatnot, but not to this extent that even the dev couldnt be bothered to write a few strings of information to replace that variable name. i'd say goodluck on the development cycle when you have so much things going on and none of them are really finished. if this alone took 7 years then i shudder at the thought of how long it takes to get full release, that is with all promises intact by then. but hey, maybe some miracles happen.

anyway, i'd recommend you Song of Syx if you want a city simulation game if you dont mind playing pixel games. that one have similar aspects as this game with far more depth and more opportunities to commit geneva suggestion. its already nearing its completion and its also a single dev. compared to this overhyped piece of garbage i can attest to you that the song of syx dev's commitance is assured.
