better games with the exact same gameplay mechanics. just new lipstick on the same pig. waste of money
This game is soooo good to me. Very chill but still feels like you’re accomplishing something. I like the art style, the play style, the pacing is nice, it’s the perfect game to chill out on after a long day without being too casual. I’m not the biggest fan of too much war and conflict, some games make that a BIG portion of the gameplay, with ‘Foundation’ i was able to get away from that. There’s plenty to do, plenty to unlock, I can go on and on. The fact it runs smoothly on my fairly simple laptop. I love it. So far it has landed itself in my top 3 games of this genre.
Only downside is the update looks even better and I’m sad it’s not going to be available until the end of January. Almost don’t want to play until then.
Great game !! Very enjoyable and filled with lots of content. One of the best city builders !!
I first discovered this game via piracy back in college and played the very early access versions like crazy. Now that 1.0 is about to be released, I can't help but be extremely happy on how much the game has improved.
Congrats Polymorph games. If I could support you the 2nd time or more via DLCs, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I don't want to start a turf war but Manor Lords wishes it were Foundation. This game does city management fun, and looks great (Manor Lords realistic graphics with this fleshed out and fun gameplay would be unstoppable.)
I know the game is currently in Demo, but I experienced very low performance even when lowering all the settings to a minimum, I think it needs some optimization.
I didn't have this issue with the early access with the old graphic, there the game runs as smooth as butter

There are so many aspects and mechanics in this game that I longed for when I played the Age of Empires 1 and 2. To list a few; being able to rotate buildings, place objects such as fences/foliage/benches/fountains, villagers create and maintain walking paths that eventually turn into roads, houses upgrade to fit more people, larger buildings such as your lords Manor or the Tavern have individual pieces that you can freely place to design your own building. The depth of the game is surprising and satisfying. Well done devs, I look forward to future updates and also seeing what mods players come up with. Would love a Dwarven themed one :)
this had been on my wishlist for a bit, then the demo came out and I downloaded it immediately. it did not take long to buy the full (early access) game after trying the demo, there are lots of resource/city management/builder games but definitely not all of them are very good. however building settlements in this game is REALLY FUN , it feels organic. and it's neat to watch the villagers create paths :^) decent difficulty as well, I had to start over a couple times because I messed everything up and got stuck.
Pro tip don't start on an island unless you want to grind for a bridge BEFORE getting any immigration.
Out of all the city-building and survival games I've played over the years this one always draws me back. I recently played the new demo for version 1.0 and it completely exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait for the full release so I can spend countless more hours on.
Do I recommend Foundation? Since I've played it, and while I was waiting it to come out of EA, I have bought a pile of city builders never feeling satisfied. The main selling point for me is that it feels "alive". The fact that you cant control how or where your villagers build their homes is delicious. It just makes the village feel like it has a mind of its own. Can't wait for the 31st of january to build my awesome castle.
Followed this game since its first year of Early Access. This has been a great process of development, with a team that really has listened to feedback. The game has been so fun to play and with the upcoming release of the game, and trying out the Demo version for the full release... WOW! I am blown away by the upgrades and the improvements from the Early Access model. I can not wait for the full release to go live and start building a new town in the upgraded version. I do hope development and upgrade will continue after release and the game continues to add more.
I've spent so many hours enjoying this game. Personally this is my "Cozy" game! Building a singular castle and trying maintain its resources, to a sprawling city-scapes, or humble little villages and hamlets across the landscape the epic landscape. This game has tones of unique different play styles for a city builder. And honestly the fact that the little citizens wander and create the roads is such a delight to watch. I am so happy to see this game finally come out of Early Access! Time to spend another 300+ hours come release!
The Modding community is also brilliant, so much creativity and personal touch can be added, thank you to all the creative people from devs to mods to people sharing their projects! Can't wait to see what people make.
I hope to see this game extend to MAC users in the future because I've had many friends and family ask me about this game and they just wish it was on MAC.
This game is already fun to play so the full release coming in January I can imagine will be amazing! I recommend getting this even before the full release. You won't be disappointed!
I've been playing this game through much of its early access and it's great now - not to mention very addictive. I'm really looking forward to the final release; with so many new features, they say it will feel like a new game and I believe it!
Good game, fun and relaxing.
I will admit i only found/bought this game because of Let's Game it Out.
Cool concept with roads and housing automated in a sense. I have enjoyed playing and is a fun game for a rainy day.
I really enjoy this game. When I am in the mood to gather resources and amass wealth, this has been a solid go-to. It's slow pace, beautiful art, and interesting neighborhood growth are all unique and well done. Progression can be fast or slow depending on your choices or the choices of your little people. I often leave this running on my second screen while doing other things online because I feel the need to play a game but have other things to do. It scratches the itch!
Having played many different city-and-resource management games in my life, I can confidently say that Foundation has quickly taken its rightful place among my favorites. The simplicity of the art style is shadowed by the complexity of the gameplay, and I found myself starting over multiple times to ensure I got the most optimal early game possible. Now, with almost 75 hours in the game, I feel I can confidently say that this game is a must-have if you enjoy city/resource management games.
Despite being in early access, this game is really enjoyable since the beginning. Updates improves things gracefully.
I really appreciate the fact that you don’t build everything. Villagers build their houses how and when they want to, it gives a nice medieval touch to the city. The military gameplay is too easy and too automated, but it’s being revamped before full launch.
Good game
The way the game works is a bit different, than what I knew. But it's easy to learn and sucked me right in. It's a lot of fun to play and organise your town.
While it's still relatively new, every time they add new content I get excited. It's a great cozy game. The way the villagers align their homes is both interesting and frustrating but I take sick joy in adding walls to make them reconsider the pathing.
this game is really good and would recommend. its come along way looking forward to 1.0
My recommendation is my biggest complaint about this game, the devs are so ambitious and do so many updates to create the best game they can provide is braking my saves :(
Other than that it's a nice game with pleasant mechanics and visuals.
gorgeous
This is the game that I always wished existed, and it finally does. I have been trying to design this game, essentially, my whole life. The game where you're a medieval lord overseeing a fief, from the early beginnings of hunting and gathering, all the way to making a glorious castle-covered kingdom. This game is very, very well designed and works smoothly, it's well balanced, the tools make sense, and the mods (which are very easy to acquire since they integrated them into the main menu) make the game truly awesome! I definitely recommend this game, I get lost in it for hours on end.
Foundation: A Serene Medieval City Builder
Foundation offers a serene and strategic city-building experience. Its grid-less system allows for organic development, encouraging players to build their cities in a way that feels natural and intuitive. The depth of customization allows players to shape their cities' style and level up their favorite citizens in their preferred productions, truly making it their kingdom.
Resource management is crucial, and players must carefully balance their needs with their resources. Narrative events, quests, and missions provide a sense of purpose and challenge, keeping players engaged as their city grows and evolves.
What truly sets Foundation apart is its relaxing nature. As your city thrives, you can sit back and enjoy the peaceful ambiance, watching your citizens go about their daily lives. Expanding trade routes, conquering new territories, and witnessing the growth of your kingdom offers a deep sense of accomplishment. It's the perfect game to unwind with a cup of coffee or tea and lose yourself in a world of medieval charm.
Great game. The closest to capture that settler charm. A shame that development on the game is veeeeeeery slow.
In the current state, this suffers from terminal operational bugs.
Serfs leaving because they "don't have food" when the markets are full and the granaries are overflowing. Builders that continuously fail to pick up the supplies (available in abundance) they need to advance the work.
Exploitation zones that "run out" of resources when there are whole zoned areas just besides the wood camp full of trees.
Stone extractors that "can't find stone" when there is an outcrop just next to their post.
It's janky, it's buggy, it's slow and it's simply not ready for release.
Villagers are incurably stupid. Euthanasia is the only merciful option.
I really like the feel and play of the game. Maybe some more options for map design but overall really enjoyed it.
Good game
nice
It has some good stuff going for it, but I haven't found it rewarding to play. I love the concept of painting areas for your guys to build stuff where they want on their own, but ultimately that's a small part of the game. Ultimately, you're still placing all the important buildings manually and then waiting for your guys to build it, and it gets tedious, and I don't feel like there's too much exciting stuff I'm working towards.
Cute, fun, low stress activity.
If you've been searching for "this type" of game -- I'm sure you know what I mean! -- GIVE FOUNDATION A SHOT.
Outrageously underrated.
Way deeper than appears on the surface.
Active development for years on end -- unlike so many others abandoned in EA.
I've tried dozens upon dozens of "similar" games and while I was aware of Foundation for some years, I was put off by the art style... and that was about it. I only recently gave it the chance it deserves, and it has almost everything I've been looking for in this type of game. So much content -- including secret content! -- to unlock as you progress, and the customization available is wonderful!
I think the only "major" feature I'm left wanting is something along the lines of a "raid" system, along with castle walls & defenses needed for protecting your town(s), where you physically see enemies enter & have your soldiers fight them off.
Anyway, seriously, if you're like me & have played basically everything like this on Steam, give this game a shot. No it doesn't have everything I'm wanting (realistic graphics & defense, namely), but since it seems like no game quite manages to pull of what I feel I've been searching for, I'd say Foundation comes pretty darn close from a mechanics standpoint.
ok
The free form city building outside of traditional square building is a lot of fun. The way that the populace picks and chooses where to build helps you focus on what area to zone and what areas to use for other aspects of your city. Just have to adjust to it, it is a learning curve. :)
cute game, but sadly totally unbalanced.
having the 3 estates compete with another makes no sense. So either decide if you want church buildings, kingdom or labor. the other two will always give you negative standing for pursuing the other one more then them.
trade makes no sense. you need to upgrade your trade routes to sell more goods. but this requires not only to sell but also to buy. if you only sell 100 units a month to one trade route, it will not upgrade. so you need to also buy 100 units of something from the same trade route too. but that way you cant make money from selling goods. which defeats the whole purpose of producing and then selling. thats really a stupid dynamic.
i tried the game now a couple of times over the last year and i always ran into the same crap.
As your settlement gets bigger so gets the time you have to wait. in the mid game you basically wait and wait and wait till something is finally build.
never made it to the "end"game, coz it the game is just broken.
very sad.
I have not played this game in over a year with it being fairly clunky UI and game mechanics. Installed it again last night and holy cow has this game done a 180. Everything feels intuitive and easy to figure out. The game mechanics are fantastic and great fun graphics. Big recommend if you are into medieval city builders.
you can even play this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this game. Very mind numbing and relaxing
I first tried this game in 2021 and spent a good amount of time on it before giving up. At that time, it wasn’t very intuitive and felt quite challenging, though my inexperience may have contributed to that. I would return to play occasionally, but only for a few hours, as I struggled with managing food and maintaining stable housing, which became more frustrating than enjoyable.
However, after all the recent updates, I picked the game up again last week and couldn't stop playing! It finally feels rewarding without being overly punishing. Visually game is fun to zoom in and watch the little people go.
If youre looking for more laid back town management game, this is it.
A charming little medieval ant-farm. It's quite pleasant to watch very organic towns grow out of the various plots and points of interest and definitely preferable to the maximized grid approach of most city/kingdom builders. I appreciate the casual pace and difficulty of the thing although I think that some players would enjoy the ability to toggle off the infinite resources that currently exist in the game.

Relaxed gaming experience!
Nice. Has the feeling of Settlers from the olden days that I've been looking for!
Wait for the game to get more polished.
I wanted to hold off on reviewing this game until it had its full release, which I hope is not too far off. It feels like it has been in development F-O-R-E-V-E-R (as the kid in 'The Sandlot' says it), however, as much as it has or hasn't changed over its development, I can, in good conscience recommend this game to anyone looking for an easy evening of stress-free city building. The final game is only going to get better certainly, but right now, it is simply good. The economy is not too difficult, the citizens needs can be satisfied with a little planning, the graphics and models are charming, the building is gratifying, the music is calming. There are tons of well made, supported mods that add more layers, more crafting, more resources, more everything. There is no combat or raids. The game doesn't hammer you for not stockpiling for winter or gathering enough food. Citizens come and they go. One thing I will warn is that this is a free form grid-less city builder; the citizens make their own paths, build their homes where they want and if that kind of chaos bothers you, you probably need something more structured and micromanage'y.
