About this game

Idle Settlement is a strategy idle game where you build and manage a medieval village, gather resources, research technologies, train military units, and raid NPC settlements. Progress runs in the background so you can check in at your own pace.

Build and upgrade your town: Construct and upgrade buildings such as housing, storage, refineries, barracks, archery ranges, and stables. Unlock higher tiers by upgrading your Town Center.

Manage resources: Gather raw materials (food, wood, stone, gold, herbs, hide, coal, sand, saltpetre) from map nodes. Assign villagers to production and logistics. Refine materials into planks, provisions, tools, weapons, armor, and more. Storage and research increase your resource caps.

Research: Unlock new buildings, gather rates, production bonuses, combat bonuses, and other effects through a research tree. Prestige to gain extra research slots and speed up future runs.

Military and raids: Recruit spearmen, swordsmen, archers, horsemen, knights, and other units. Research unit types in your military buildings. Send armies to raid goblin, bandit, orc, mercenary, and dragon settlements. Scout enemies to see troop estimates before attacking. Watch battles play out or review battle reports.

Prestige: Reset your run to earn permanent bonuses and unlock more content. Credits and some progress persist across prestiges.
Offline progress: When you return after being away, the game simulates up to 8 hours of production so you do not miss out. Optional in-app benefits can extend this cap.

Optional in-app purchases: The game offers optional credit packs, a subscription with production and offline benefits, and one-time items such as a starter pack. Daily free credits are available. All purchases are optional; the full game can be played without spending.

Idle Settlement runs on a 1-second game tick. Your village keeps producing and your armies keep raiding while you are away. Save and export your progress for backup or transfer. Play on phone or tablet; the same experience is available in the browser.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure what to think yet only been playing since yesterday I get 200 credits as a reward (can use them instead if don't have enough gold to do some upgrades) for accepting the pop up in game perhaps once I play for a week unlock build more buildings gather more rss I'll have a better idea what to write then...

Game has a lot of potential. Yet currently it is at the best alpha version of the game. Icons not representing the actual resources, for example a "screw driver" representing a "fine glass". Major bugs in the game currently I'm hard stuck at tier 4 technology due to one or that the game will not continue to be active offline if you didn't close the app first. Last but not least, the prices are very greedy in the shop.

Fun game with mechanics and progression that feel good to play. Always feels like there's something I can work on as opposed to some games where you just actually have to wait.
