Release Date: March 28, 2023
An original strategy puzzle game in which we restore life to the wilderness. In Terra Nil, we irrigate the soil, restore biodiversity, and bring wildlife to refreshed areas to create self-contained, vibrant ecosystems.
Terra Nil is an intriguing combination of a strategy game and puzzle game, which could be described as a reverse city builder. Rather than build cities, our task is to restore life to wastelands. It was developed by Free Lives, also responsible for the warmly received Broforce (although initially it was the work of just three independent developers who released the game's first build on itch.io) and published by Devolver Digital.
The gameplay of Terra Nil is shown from an isometric perspective. The game's paced rather slowly and takes place on procedurally generated wastelands located in different regions.
Our first move should always be to build a wind turbine to generate electricity and create infrastructure to irrigate soil. This lets us get rid of pollution, allowing plant growth. Afterwards we can handle more complex tasks, such as restoring biodiversity, regulating the local climate and bringing in wildlife. All this requires building and powering infrastructure. Once we finally manage to revitalize the ecosystem, we must pack everything up and move on somewhere else. First, however, we must dismantle and recycle all constructed buildings.
The visuals of Terra Nil are bright, cartoonish and appealing. The audio layer consists of sounds of nature and a peaceful, tranquil soundtrack.

Terra Nil Review: Reclaim the Wasteland At Your Own Pace
Reclaim a barren wasteland from the grips of toxic ruin in Terra Nil. From the temperate river valley to a volcanic glacier, restoring the natural environment has never been more relaxing.
Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10 by Kirstie Summers
A provocative and technical feat, Terra Nil stands out from games with a similar environmental setting. It requires you to think creatively and intelligently about the challenges faced by the natural world, and it leaves you with a realistic vision of what humanity needs to do to change the world for the better.
COGconnected: 85 / 100 by James Paley
There’s something rewarding about this game. You’re working to restore a dead world, with tangible results to keep you engaged. The mechanics get pretty complex after a while, true. And it can feel like your mistakes are indelible, even as you’re restarting a stage. But the labor feels worth it. Better still, developer Free Lives is putting a portion of pre-order and post-launch sales towards the Endangered Wildlife Trust. In that sense, playing this game actually does some good for the environment. If you’re looking for a peaceful, yet sometimes stressful, gaming experience, consider Terra Nil. You might even reconsider our actual planet as a result.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Kyle LeClair
Terra Nil is a truly unique sim game that does a fantastic job in showcasing various ways the environment can be affected, with an astonishing level of hard work put into the tools needed to make things better. With simple yet incredibly fun gameplay, striking and gorgeous visuals, and a nice level of challenge that rewards players for properly planning things out without putting them under too much pressure, this is a terrifically wholesome and clever game that's worth checking out.
