It took me several rough starts (Townberg, New Townberg, East Townberg, New East Townberg, and West Townberg) before I finally managed to found a town that I could sustain (New New Townberg). In spite of Banished’s multiple tutorials (which you will need to use), there’s not a ton of hand-holding in the game proper. It should be noted that there are also achievements for 600 citizens and for 900 citizens, so my self-imposed goal was far from the most challenging one available, but it still took me roughly 16 hours of gameplay to hit 300 citizens, with the game running at 5x speed for the first half and 10x speed for the second half of my playthrough. There is however an achievement for managing to hit the landmark goal of 300 citizens, so I decided that in order to ever be able to complete a review of the game, that I would consider that my 'ending'. The game is over when either your town dies out or you quit to start a new town. Oh no, is that the sun?” Plus, like many good survival games, there is no 'ending'. Like many good RTS games, I had many moments of “I’m almost done. Can you keep your tired band of exiles alive, fed, and productive enough that they can manage to start over properly and build an entirely new community complete with security and infrastructure based on your resource management?īanished is an absolute time-sink in the best kind of way. The title is a bit misleading: you won’t be dealing with any political fallout from your banishment or any sorts of ideological differences among the tribe this game is all about survival. You start with around 20 citizens (only half or so able-bodied adults), a supply lot, a storage barn, and a handful of supplies and you’re left to your own devices to make a new life for the people of your settlement. It’s not often that a game will begin with the members of a town being banished to live out the rest of their days in the wilds away from the kingdom, but, as the title would indicate, that is precisely the starting premise of Shining Rock’s Banished.
