About The First Settlement VR
Build, Trade, Thrive: Your Medieval VR Adventure Awaits The First Settlement VR is an evolving VR city builder focused on sandbox-style town building, management, and atmosphere. There is currently no traditional, fully scripted story campaign – the focus is on freely building and developing your city. New systems, buildings, and features are being added over time.Step into the medieval world of The First Settlement VR, where your vision shapes the future of your own town. Start from the ground up, choosing from over 50 unique buildings that define your town’s economy and daily life. Raise homes for common citizens and unlock a new tier of inhabitants – Merchants, who bring wealth but also demand their own specialised buildings, services, and more refined living standards.As your town grows, so does your perspective. Walk the streets in immersive first-person and move among your people, or rise high above the rooftops to oversee your production chains, districts, and city layout from a strategic vantage point. Experience your settlement across a full day and night cycle as lighting and ambience shift over time. Switch seamlessly between ground-level immersion and elevated planning to build and manage your settlement your way.Engage in trade with neighbouring towns to secure scarce resources or sell your surplus for profit. Balance the basic needs of your citizens with the more sophisticated expectations of your merchants as you produce everything from essential foodstuffs to luxury goods. In this VR experience, you’re not just an overseer; you’re a visible part of the community—walking the streets, observing the environment and the people, and seeing the direct results of every decision you make.Ongoing updates will continue to expand the game with additional buildings, systems, and citizen needs based on player feedback. If you’d like to see what we’re working on next, you can find the current roadmap and join the discussion on our Discord.

Just hopped in and played for 30 minutes to test and seems to be everything as advertised so far. Performance is great with ultra settings on Quest 3, 12600K / 4070 Super, Virtual Desktop. Had about 25 buildings with several people walking around, no stutters at all and solid framerate. Some of the graphic setting such as footsteps didn't seem to be showing up but nothing game breaking so far. The graphics could use some tweaks as well, seems to be something "off" with them no matter low or ultra. Also only 1 save file right now, hopefully this can be increased. If you want a chill casual city builder in VR this is probably for you. Nothing fancy just a simple game.11 found this helpful
I was looking forward for the release of the game. So I was really excited when I finally got the notification that it was out. And what can I say – the anticipation was absolutely justified. This is a game that, for a change, isn’t about fighting or conflict. Instead, it’s all about doing something good for your villagers. You're welcomed by a relaxing soundtrack and immediately get to take your first steps in this peaceful world – deciding where to place your buildings and in what order to expand. It’s really satisfying to watch your village grow and see the villagers going about their daily routines. It’s the perfect game to unwind with after work, letting you simply relax and stroll through the little world you've created. Of course, it’s still in alpha, so not everything is perfect yet – but with a look at the roadmap, many improvements are already in progress and will make the experience even more polished over time. Clear recommendation from me for anyone who enjoys city-building games and wants to take a break from everyday life with a few relaxing minutes of gameplay.6 found this helpful
The First Settlement VR offers a relaxing and immersive city-building experience in a charming medieval setting. Building and managing your settlement in VR feels intuitive and engaging, with great attention to detail and atmosphere. A very enjoyable experience for VR and strategy fans.4 found this helpful
I lasted about seven minutes. Looks and feels like Baby's First VR Game. The tutorial doesn't actually teach you much and when I tried to interact with the first and only 'most important' building I accidentally deleted it. Couldn't figure out how to rebuild the damn thing. I had high hopes for this and it ended up being so disappointingly subpar I had to give up. It needs a LOT of work to even be palatable. I've played games on the original Atari that explained things better. If they can figure out what an interface is and how they're supposed to work, and get a tutorial that actually tutors players by giving details instead of just vaguely gesturing into the distance (seriously, "that building over there" on a text window that makes you face a different direction?), then maybe this could be a lot of fun. Not to mention movement speed was painfully slow. I'm old, crippled, and half blind and I can shuffle faster than movement in this game. Even your in-game perspective is wrong; either your face is practically hugging the dirt or you're ten feet tall. Pick a lane or pick a decent middle. I really hope it gets better someday. But as of right now? It's a "Haha No.". It's *Refunde…2 found this helpful
