« Excellent jeu de gestion! Très original et très sympa. Tout petit bémol car on a assez vite fait le tour, mais le jeu vaut vraiment la peine. »👍 anonymous review · 29 h played« Franchement ? Très bon jeu de gestion d'économie et petit bonus avec création de map personnalisé (prions pour que le jeu reçoive encore quelques màj franchement !) »👍 anonymous review · 15 h played« L'attente fus longue mais le jeu le méritait. Très bien pensé, fun rapidement, tuto très bien séquencé (peu être un petit manque lors de l'arrivée des ouvriers, mais ça se fait quand même). »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played« Dans l'esprit de The settlers, chill et efficace pour décompresser ! »👍 anonymous review · 13 h played« Very nice supply chain game. Deserve a couple of runs ;) »👍 anonymous review · 22 h played« It's a small game, 15h needed to complete it. It has a true "The Settlers" feeling, nice economical mecanics and a good athmosphere. Good balance between difficulty and chill. Overall a nice journey. Get it for less than 10 bucks. »👍 anonymous review · 14 h played
« Il y a un bug, la carte ne s'affiche pas, c'est injouable ! PS: j'ai un ordinateur 64 bits avec processeur ARM, Snapdragon X 12-core »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« I wish I could tell you that this game is good, the concept of the game is fun. But in reality, it quickly becomes boring: there is no real challenge, half the options are useless... »👎 anonymous review · 20 h played« Late mission has a quest to defeat 2 bandit camps but only spawns 1. Completely blocks up the campaign and it's not fun enough to restart the map. »👎 anonymous review · 14 h played« The game is cute and fun in the beginning. However, the mechanics seem to be too repetitive. The UI is not good - controlling the knights is hard, and they don't add much value to the game in the first place. »👎 anonymous review · 11 h played« Not recommended if you want to play this on your steam deck. No Controller support at all. »👎 anonymous review · 10 h played« Sympathique jeu de gestion à la Settler, sans trop prise de tête. Relaxant mais demandant un minimum d'organisation. J'ai apprecié :-) »👍 anonymous review · 18 h played
