As much puzzle as management
I’m a sucker for strategy games which boil their mechanics down until they almost become puzzle games, particularly if they also involve building rather than war. I’m thinking of games likeConcrete Jungle,Slipways,Terra Niland now, maybe,Farlanders.
That last game may be less familiar. Farlanders is a turn-based strategy game about terraforming Mars via building placement and adjacency bonuses, and it’s due for release next month.
Here’s the new release date trailer:

Farlanders’Steam pagegoes into further detail, with mention of campaign missions, procedurally generated maps, dynamic weather changes, a research tree, and a trading economy with other (AI) colonies where prices fluctuate based on supply and demand.
I’m even sold on the fairly basic pixel art, simply because the trailer shows newly generated resources whooshing towards stockpiles on the UI. It seems satisfying.
Farlanders has had ademo on Steamsince last year, as well as a separate but narratively linkedPrologue mission, but the release date is new. You’ll be able to colonise the final game from January 17th, 2023.
