Settlements Rising PC

Settlements Rising is the debut project of The Catalyst Crew studio. It is a city builder strategy game inspired by Banished, in which we build medieval cities and manage colonies.

Plot

The game takes us to the Medieval era, where as city builders and colony managers we fight for survival, facing natural disasters and enemy invasions. Settlements Rising does not offer a storyline.

Gameplay

The overall gameplay is not too different from Banished or Farthest Frontier, focusing our attention on building and defending cities, acquiring resources and dealing with production chains. Having detailed data at our disposal in the form of tables and charts, we develop our colonies by improving buildings.

From time to time we select from random upgrade cards and use them as needed. These cards are intended for single use, but we can keep them for later to start a new game with saved bonuses.

The prosperity of our settlements attracts the attention of invaders, which forces us to build towers and defensive walls, as well as train the inhabitants to become soldiers. We export and import goods from other villages, using merchant ships. We can also send special ships on exploratory missions.

Settlements Rising features a simulation of the lives of our inhabitants - we can follow them from birth to death. Each of them has their own character and needs for food, energy, health, and warmth. When the supplies run out, they go shopping, and when they are tired, they rest after work. Our residents are born, grow up, gain an education and take up one of 35 professions, and eventually the experienced ones grow old and die.

Graphics

Settlements Rising offers simple colorful graphics using low poly objects.
