Go with banished instead... for real.. A Banished free review, since I haven’t played it.Villagers is pretty simple, yet not so simple at the same time. The game is set in medieval times and as such life is not great, you’re constantly raided, food shortages, harsh winters and you’re spread very thin as you try and get your village together. I wouldn’t call this a city builder, more like a simulation of medieval life. The game is harsh, you play for hours for 2-3 babies to be born, and hopefully they can survive through the winter before their mother gets attacked by wild wolves. Resources are limited and with a very small starting population it’s hard to cover all the bases. You’ll be spending your first years with a dozen people, with those dozen people they need to be set roles that all need to be filled, someone die? Well that just means you’re going to have to have no baths this month. Have everyone in your turn working jobs and no one to be a guardsmen? Pray to god you don’t get raided. Outside of the harsh setting the game itself doesn’t lend itself to being easy to play. Poor AI leads to a lot of wasted time and with poor explanations on a lot of the jobs a wasted opportunity. I’ve seen farmers for days straight just walk around my city as there are crops that need watering and picking. Sawmill worker, whose job is to plant and cut down trees, sleep in front of the town hall as there are no trees planted in my set area. The game is rough, there’s no denying that but I did enjoy playing the game. I liked the idea of being put into a harsh setting where it wasn’t all big city lights or not handed to me on a plate. In saying that I felt my time could have been much more enjoyable with a few changes here and there. At the price point maybe it’s an avoid for now, check out a sale in the future and see kind of thing.If you’re still undecided I have a playthrough on Villagers which probably explains the game positives and negatives better than I can. https://youtu.be/NrOONjn6c3Q. This game looks like it has potential, but I found it to be very buggy in ways that spoiled the game play.Problems I had include quests in the campaign mode that cannot be finished (especially timed quests; it will sometimes say "day 17 of 10" or whatever and never finish), each time that happened I had to revert to an earlier save and try again. Even more annoyingly, at one point my entire village simultaneously died "of natural causes", the seasons sped up to a blur of constantly changing, but despite the fact that everyone was dead according to the population screen, there were still people wandering around the village. Zombies, presumably. Also, I couldn't figure out why my farmers would only grow vegetables despite having a grain field as well, they never touched it. I even built a second farm house, but they all just wanted vegetables.. found this relaxing and stress reducing to play. Very easy and uncomplicated sometimes you want that.. First off, this is not a bad game, if like many had pointed out, Banished did not exist, this might be a different review. It does however, so a positive differential between these two games would swing my vote.The initial difference you will find is the visual novel superimposed upon the game. The story is written with some competency and as is the way with v.n.'s, it's quite in your face about some of the sordid details of life. Now when I first booted this game up it asked whether I was female or male, the default being female, this told me that the developers were targeting the fairer sex and that coupled with the visual novel aspect, really puts me out in the cold.The game itself, is fine, the standard resource collection and settlement building is in place. Nothing separating it from Banished, save for the fact the simulation is less complex. There are nice touches, the way you build a jetty was quite nice and well thought out. The graphics, they're better than Banished but only just, there is the most desperate need for SSAO, if they added that it would look so much better. The models, functional, again no better than the aforementioned game, no specular, no bump, modest scale textures.I won't touch on the maps, or lack thereof, the future will tell.All in all, if the story was reflected in the code, this would be the most amazing game but at the moment, the separation between the two is so large, it highlights the loss of direction this team has experienced.
