Tile Lands Reviews

I think this game needs work to be finished. the game loop is boring. you start the without proper tutorial or something that teaches you how the game works, and it goes for endless and no other mode. I think being a roguelike or having levels or any target or aim at all would have helped the game, it's hard to hone your skills or learn the game because it is so unappealing and aimless. got bored after hour or two and was disappointed, I guess that what you get for this price, but still.

Tile Lands is a slightly different "city builder" game in the sense that you're not really building a city or anything that really stays Your goal is to net the most points by strategically placing tiles that will upgrade and earn you passive points at the end of each turn. You constantly replace tiles you've laid, sometimes only the turn before, because it awards the most points due to what's nearby. The tiles are basically different types of environment, industry, or barbarian related. There's tiles like towns that can upgrade to cities, lumbermills that collect wood from nearby forests that can produce factory tiles (right click to spend what has been gathered on tiles), marshland and fishing villages produced by surrounding a tile with ocean, etc. It took me a while to get the hang of game play but now I'm really understanding it and focusing less about how the grid looks and more about the proximity points, passive points, and upgrades. Excellent replayability and harder than you think, in a good way.
