Wanna know the specifics?
The gameplay of ISLANDERS is pretty intuitive. You start with a set of buildings in your inventory that you can place on your island. Placing buildings is rewarded with points. The amount of points you get depends on what surrounds the buildings when you place them. Gather enough points to refill your inventory and unlock new buildings.
Once your city is big enough you may choose to travel to the next island (they are generated procedurally, so you can literally keep exploring forever). If you run out of buildings the game ends. This is where you high five yourself for beating the high score, take a proud last glance at the epic city you've built and start just one more round...
ISLANDERS is inspired by amazing games like:
- Bad North
- Anno
- The Settlers
- Sim City
- Kingdoms and Castles

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
A nice and cozy game, perfect for spending some relaxing time. As with many similar games, the most interesting part is pursuing some kind of challenge when building a town on another island :)1 found this helpful
Easy to get into, hard to get out. Its a fun & simple, yet gets more and more complex the further you go. It has it all. If you like city building, where the bgm is beautiful and makes you relax and rage, feel different emotions at the same time; this game is for you1 found this helpful
Islanders does not feel like a citybuilder, rather It feels like a roguelike. It's primary mode features randomly generated islands(some are tiny) and if you don't hit the score threshold while placing buildings it's over. I know the developers said on the page it's a small game by a 3-person team without hours of content. But I don't think that changes my opinion, since it still doesn't really feel like a citybuilder. The main mode is super reliant on rng and repetetive, and the sandbox gamemode is akin to painting with buildings, which I suppose some people may like that. 5/10, not for me but some may like it. I just don't feel like it's Steam Page and overwhelmingly positive reviews properly reflect what's here. Alright, tried it one more time, it's a roguelike puzzle game. Neither tag is in the top 4 tags, puzzle is fifth.
If you like minimalism and easy to jump into type puzzle games this might be for you. Sadly I feel like it's mostly about checking which building gives you the most points, with some preplanning when it comes to larger buildings. Yet I can't say I find it particularly fun.
So this is how Epstein create his island.
First hour : Yes, it's a simple builder game where You just place the building and facility Many hour later : No, its not a simple builder game, the simplicity is the trap
