    The Wandering Village is a creative and addictive take on the City Builder formula that coexists perfectly with the survival genre. It may not have its story elements in the background but the world it invites us to is still a fantastic attraction. It's a challenging experience at times but a rewarding one that puts The Wandering Village as high as the Onbu's height.

    With beautiful Studio Ghibli-esque aesthetics, The Wandering Village is a city building sim with real soul. Beneath it all, there is a really beautiful metaphor at play with a wider message regarding the relationship between a civilisation and its environment.

    The Wandering Village is a city-building strategy game that offers a creative story mode, a tough challenge mode and a great sandbox mode. Secure the future of the nomads on the back of the Onbu and experience fantastic biomes with nice music and their own challenges. The hours fly by and the great Ghibli-like animations draw you into the fantastic, dystopian world.
