About Chinese Frontiers

Plan, build, and unwind in a first-person city-builder set in medieval China. Start as a humble craftsman and, step by step, plan, produce, and raise monumental structures. Manage villagers, set up production chains, and fine-tune logistics so your village flourishes—at your own pace, without pressure, with the satisfaction of a well-designed system.Explore three distinct regions—mountain passes, desert flats, and fertile river valleys—each with unique resources, challenges, and views that beg to be screenshotted. The landscape isn’t just a backdrop; it shapes your strategy and what you can achieve. Unearth the secrets of ancient techniques, master your craft, and build traditional chinese landmarks. From cutting stone and shaping timber to firing bricks and smelting metals—every structure comes together through clear, logical stages. Raise defense towers, desert forts, and the legendary Jiankou Sky Stairs. Your projects also power the settlement’s infrastructure: workshops, kilns, forges, and ornament workshops.

You are both manager and craftsman. Cultivate fields, raise livestock, cook traditional dishes, and care for your villagers’ well-being. Customize buildings, place decorations, and watch a bustling town emerge—perfect for calm, evening sessions.

As your reputation rises, earn the emperor’s attention, unlock new techniques, master your craft, and carve your name in history as a master builder. Follow the story of master Jun and his granddaughter Mei through a journey of skill, tradition, and ambition.
  • Deep building and optimization — clear production chains, sensible logistics, and hands-on NPC management.
  • Relaxing, not rushed — slow gaming at your own pace, with the joy of bringing projects to completion.
  • Authentic culture — architecture, craftsmanship, and cuisine inspired by dynastic China.
  • A guiding narrative — a master-artisan storyline that adds goals and context to your decisions.
  • Realistic, step-by-step building mechanics (first-person) and hands-on crafting.
  • Manage workers, gather resources, and optimize production flows within your settlement.
  • Three large regions with their own resources, hazards, and building techniques.
  • A blend of building, crafting, farming, exploration, and decorating.
  • Authentic Chinese themes—from construction to cuisine and interior design.
  • A story-driven campaign with quests that lead you toward building one of the world’s greatest wonders.

Played it all the way through and got every achievement, around 70 hours. There's a story and it's good. Not award-winning, but enjoyable, and it kept me going to the end. What I loved most is the relaxed feel of the game: you can take your time building up your village. The graphics fit the game well. [b]Downsides[/b] [list] [*]The automation system could be a lot better. Managing what your workers make gets tedious later on, so I ended up writing a mod for it: [url=https://github.com/Binni0911/chinese-frontiers-village-manager/releases]Village Manager[/url] (free) [*]There are bugs, some minor and some more serious. In the Ghosts of the Fallen quest, the NPC you need spawned under the map, and a mold bug blocked me from adding iron until I fixed it [/list] All in all a fun game to play all the way through. Recommended if you like relaxed building games and don't mind a few rough edges.

Relaxed building simulator with detailed and well researched budlings. If you like exploring and building, and very basic hunger and thirst survival game play, but don't want to deal with fighting, then this game is great. there are some bugs still, but nothing game breaking. All i had to do to fix any of the bugs was to jump out of whatever menu I was in and get back in. The only time that did not work and it was a big bug, I simply reloaded an older save. With the game autosaving constantly I didn't lose more than 10 minutes of game play. This is a relaxing building simulation with an interesting historical journey set in ancient China.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
