I enjoyed it so much I am seriously thinking the negative reviews are foul play by competitors. A lot of hard work was put in this. Recommended for fans of Banished and Frostpunk as this geniously merged the two. It's a complicated one, if you don't want a 2 hour tutorial, just play Fabledom or something. Good job, devs!

its ok, nothing wrong with it but also nothing stands out to make it that different from every other city builder. Has lots of different buildings but it doesn't give much help in where the should be built, eg near houses or away from housing etc

Worth a buy yes, but not when its full price. I only expect to get maybe 20 hours or so of play before it gets boring, so it has a high $/time ratio
