Have you ever wanted to sit down with a city-builder and not deal with the nitty-gritty of research, resource allocation and storage, the more complex needs of your civilians and so on? If so, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles may have something for you.
From the same developer as The Falconeer, it offers a precedented amount of building freedom with intuitive tools and a gorgeous world to explore. As you venture through the world, various factions can be brought to your bulwark, though balancing the population becomes necessary. Otherwise, there are random events and other outposts to discover, supply routes to secure and maybe a little war to wage.
While it does lack many of the finer depths of the genre, not to mention a more involving narrative, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles delivers on its premise with aplomb.

It DOES redefine the city-builder genre with its focus on individual characters - something that (despite being a crucial factor in every organization in real-world, history and fiction) is always overlooked in city-builder and RTS games.

I really struggled with the minimalist controls in the demo. Just me?

The developer suggests you try using a controller.

Right? They tried to do minimalist but they made it more complicated.

The game feels awfully limited by simply lacking more variety and number of tradeship captains, and free resource extractors.

how many hours you been playing go far?

@tbone786 brother I have 40 hours already, for $17 I think that's pretty good.

With all honesty, I’ve regretted paying the full price. I thought there is more to the game then what Demo does show. I was wrong. The game is just an expensive Townscapers.

Which is not true lol, $17 is a very fair price for the content you get + more free content to come.

Yeah I was all excited about it. Played 11 hours in the PS5 demo but then when I saw the trophy list it dawned on me that I've probably seen most of the game from the demo & shall wait for it to get 30% off.

Tedious, slow and not very deep. Looks great in artstyle though.

@@ДушманКакдела It was for me. Building was fiddly, hard to get the cursor to the right spot. Information/hud basicly nonexistant. Combat is there I think. Couldn't do much. Exploration wasn't very helpful half of the time. Something was there but nothing to interact with. No tooltips. I felt like half of the time I was just idle. Coming from an rts background figured I'd enjoy but nope. I played on controller.

@@Wimpiethe3 the building isn't fiddle on M+K, I think it works fine, I can place things fairly precisely and switching back and forth from surveyor to buildings is simple. Combat is literally just "dodge damage" and everything else is fairly automated, you just watch the battle mostly. And yeah idk why you would go into this game expecting an RTS. Do you often get disappointed by unexceeded expectations in your daily life? Did you not see the massive amount of content that was put out stating exactly what type of game this is?
