Our take on Citizens: Far Lands
The feature list foregrounds extensive building and resource counts, but the core structure is a turn-based puzzle city builder with three campaigns and separate free-build and economy modes. That framing matters for players expecting a broad, continuous empire-management game.
What is Citizens: Far Lands?
Citizens: Far Lands combines turn-based settlement construction with strategic puzzles.
Players place buildings, extract and transform resources, manage population needs, plan investments, trade with other civilisations, and defend settlements. The game includes three campaigns with quests and different difficulty levels, more than 50 buildings across production chains, and over 30 resources to gather, process, and manufacture. Fires, plagues, winters, Vikings, and other problems add disruptions, while exploration leads to temples, outposts, and new islands. Randomly generated levels provide changing maps. Free-Build mode removes placement restrictions, while Economy mode adds a more demanding rule set. Combat and trade are also part of the settlement-management structure.
