You start with a set of buildings in your inventory that you can place on your island. Placing buildings is rewarded with points. The amount of points you get depends on what surrounds the buildings when you place them. Gather enough points to refill your inventory and unlock new buildings.Once your city is big enough you may choose to travel to the next island (they are generated procedurally, so you can literally keep exploring forever). If you run out of buildings the game ends. This is where you high five yourself for beating the high score, take a proud last glance at the epic city you've built and start just one more round...ISLANDERS is inspired by amazing games like:Bad NorthAnnoThe SettlersSim CityKingdoms and Castles 7aa9394dea Title: ISLANDERSGenre: Casual, Indie, StrategyDeveloper:GrizzlyGamesPublisher:GrizzlyGamesFranchise:GrizzlyGamesRelease Date: 4 Apr, 2019 ISLANDERS Download] I just spent the last 4 hours playing this game and I have to say, well done. A great way to calm the mind and relax a bit after a long and hectic day. I had a sort of tetris feel after a few hours trying to mash houses and mansions together in a way that was not only pleasing to the eye, but also gave me the maximum point yield allowing me to move forward to the next generated map. It's not a crazy problem solving game, it's not an action game, it's not a triple A shooter, but then, it doesn't have to be. This game is great the way it is and finds a comfy slot in my warm and fuzzy collection. 10\/10, will build again.. Imagine if Mini Metro met Bad North on a Carribean island. That is kind of what this game is like - a very simple set of rules eases you into the game, but things quickly become very complex after the first island or two. Impulsive decisions early on lead to much more careful thought as each game progresses but unlike MM, you have as much time as you want to contemplate your next move. It is highly suggested to take that time, as there is no way (that I have seen so far) to remove an item once it has been placed.I am very impressed with this game - just the right balance of simplicity, elegant design, peaceful music, and devilishly complicated entrapment as you yourself paint yourself into a corner of your own design. Bravo!. Intuitive, chill and beautifull. Excellent, very original idea, very simple gameplay but somehow still addictive, I liked the game since the first minute. The price is very good for it, it can be a nice gift too.. Islanders is a minimalist puzzle\/strategy game themed around city building. It's less accurate to call this a city builder or a city sim, since you're not simming anything, though the result is a built city. There are no resources, no disasters, no needs to attend to. Your focus is entirely on creating building synergies with the space allotted to you in the randomly generated islands.The gameplay loop is simple: You start off by choosing a pack of buildings. You place these buildings, which synergize positively and negatively both with the environment and other buildings, and gain points. At point thresholds you unlock a new choice of buildings, and the loop continues. With every loop you expand your building options, and get a random set of buildings among those you've already picked. In this way, you can guide how your city grows - if you put off picking lumber camps, you'll never see lumber camps until the very end. If you pick city buildings very early, you can expect to see many many houses and mansions. There's a level of strategy involved even from the very beginning: Groups of buildings want to be near each other, and away from other building types. Circuses want to be near houses and breweries, and jewelers want to be near gold mines and mansions, but want to be far away from houses. Towers want to be near as many parks, fields, and residentials as possible, and warehouses want to be near all your industry buildings and markets, which themselves want to be near as many houses and mansions as possible. The more you play the game, the better you get at carving space out for all your districts, and the aesthetics arise naturally, creating satisfying combos, and very aesthetic looking cities. There's a variety of islands to build on, from temperate, to snow, to ruins-filled, to tiny islets that you connect with plateaus and bridges. Each has their own challenges and building preferences, so your progression through he "technology tree" differs every map, changing up how your cities look and grow.When you reach a sufficient point barrier, you can begin again on a newer, slightly bigger island, from scratch. You then have to meet a slightly higher point threshold to continue to the island after that, which is a little bigger, and a little bigger, and so on. You continue until you don't reach the threshold needed to unlock a new pack of buildings, and when you also do not have a new island to go to. Your score is tallied up, and you begin again anew.The game is enjoyable and relaxing. the only frustrating points for me are being one or two pixels off being able to fit a building where I'd hoped. The game is entirely gridless, so it's possible to really hyper engineer exact placement,s but in the same way, it's possible to be just a few pixels short of fitting something in the perfect spot, which can be maddening.The game tickles my aesthetic love of city builders but doesn't ask that I be any good at them, it just asks me to get points. I suck at infrastructure, roads, handling disasters, sticking fire stations everywhere... but points I can do, and I'm rewarded with new and creative city designs on every island.Strong recommend for people who like relaxing puzzly games that do require a bit of thought. Not super brain-burny, but enough to need foresight if you want to maximize scores and get to the really big metropolis island.. It's kind of like Tetris with buildings. Place your structures the best way possible for maximum points!. Cute little game for calming down and just having some fun without being bombared with complex stuff.It's easy to learn, hard to master. And surprisingly much (and long) fun for such a simple game.Absolutely recommended.
