Mini Settlers

Mini Settlers is a minimalist game on the border between strategy games and simulations. The game was developed by the independent team Knight Owl Games, whose portfolio consists of projects of a similar caliber.

Gameplay

In Mini Settlers the game takes place on a map presented from a top-down perspective. While playing our task is to settle subsequent islands by building efficient and prosperous cities. For this purpose, we create automated systems for obtaining natural resources and producing various goods, we choose areas for agricultural fields, we erect industrial facilities and other useful buildings, and we also designate places for the construction of houses.

This is not the everything, because if we want the transport of resources between specific objects to run as smoothly as possible, we must make an effort to ensure that the individual parts of our city are connected. For this purpose we develop complex production chains and logistics networks, as well as create roads, lay railway tracks and mark sea routes, ensuring that there are no blockages.

If we do everything right, our actions drive population growth, and attract more residents to the city. However, when we have squeezed everything out of a given island, there is nothing left for us to do but to start settling the next one.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of Mini Settlers is maintained in a cartoon style. The way the game's world looks can be compared to a minimap from a strategy game, which has been stretched to fill the entire screen.
