About Banished

You manage exiled settlers in a wilderness environment where citizens work, age, reproduce, and die naturally over time. This indie city builder and colony sim requires you to build structures only after the population collects specific resources. Twenty distinct jobs handle tasks like farming and healing while trade ships bring food but risk introducing diseases. There is no currency; resources are used directly for construction needs. Forest replanting and mining consume land that cannot be expanded, so town success depends on balancing resource scarcity and health risks. The main story takes about 15 hours to complete, the full experience with extras runs around 32 hours, and a completionist run requires roughly 91 hours. It is rated Playable on Steam Deck. The game was developed and published by Shining Rock Software.

Banished Critic Reviews & Scores

  • Eurogamer

    Paul Dean
    Score: 6 out of 10

    I liked playing Banished. It was complex, but never fiddly, difficult, but rarely cruel, though it would benefit from a little more transparency. But as soon as I had a handle on it, as soon as I'd started to see through some of the fog of its complexity, I wanted to grasp for something bigger, something greater. Banished is satisfying, but never spectacular. That's not quite enough for me.

    New city-builder Banished is the most fun you'll have simulating famine all year.

    Score: 70 out of 100

    A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.

    Banished is a clever network of interlocking systems and mechanics that accomplish a lot with very little.
