I cant remember the name of a game that I saw a play through on youtube of. It was a cool game a lot like retro pixel castles however as that is not complete I would like to find this one so I can get into the genre , so here it goes with the terribly vague description.

I remember that it had a similar look and feel to retro pixel castles , you would setup a small village with warriors and workers inside an area , you could build walls and then raiders would attempt to attack the base. 2D top down 8bit-esque sandboxy game.

Obviously not the game you’re thinking of, but Dwarf Fortress covers that description (and a lot more) pretty well.

#3

Was it a “retro” game or was it actually an old 90s game? Because that sounds a lot like Castles 1, or Castles 2: Siege and Conquest. By your description though, it sounds more like Castles 1. Those really aren’t like modern village sims, but a lot of the village sims have roots there even if they don’t realize it.

Whats hilarious (to me anyway), is when I looked up these videos, I just realized how similar my villagers are to Castle’s little guys. :stuck_out_tongue:

it was a retro game and had an extremely similar style to yours. incredibly similar , top down a lot like a game called space station 13 but wiht smaller graphics.

#5

sounds like rimworld

#6

I was thinking that too, but Rimworld’s graphics are more modern, they remind me of Prison Architect.

Another retroish village sim is Towns, but Towns isnt really “retro”.
