About This Game



Your goal is to expand your empire to as many harder and harder procedural islands as possible to maximize your empire’s population!
You have to efficiently use the available resources, tools and perks, adapt to the environment, complete procedural quests... otherwise you can’t establish a strong enough colony to set sail for the next one!
Set sail, and choose wisely! Which island's perk and biome fits your playstyle and strategy the best?
Will you endure the harsh cold in the north, the arid desert islands, and other nasty climates?
How far will your empire reach?



  • Your first building is always a town hall, which claims some tiles around itself.
  • If you reach a specific population with a town (i.e. by building houses), its territory grows, claiming even more land!
  • If your island is populated enough, you can leave for the next one!
  • But why waste those valuable resources? Build as much as you can so your empire prospers!







  • Though every island is a clean slate, you won’t set foot empty-handed!
  • Every island rewards you with a perk, helping you till the very end! So choose your next island wisely, build synergy!
  • Collect various tools, special cards and save them for later! Maybe planting a forest or discovering a mine is what’s going to save your colony!
  • Build structures like trading ports, which benefit your future islands as well!
  • A balanced toolkit is the key: a harmony of perks, tool cards filling the gaps and buildings on previous islands supporting your future endeavours!



Once you can’t expand any further, you meet with your empire’s population, your final score.
Can your colonies reach the top of the leaderboards?😉



  • If you want more challenge, try the time limit mode! (looking at you, speedrunners!)
  • If you want to chill, try the sandbox mode!

This game offers you:

  • High replay value - Explore endless procedural islands!
  • Roguelike elements
  • Chance management
  • City building on relaxing medieval islands with various biomes
  • Resource management
  • Perks, offering you customisable playstyle
  • Master the game and climb the leaderboard!

But doesn’t offer you:

  • Battles
  • Complex story
  • 4X Strategy
  • Multiplayer
  • Lootboxes
  • 40 man raids

Please keep in mind that I’m just a solo but passionate developer. This is not a AAA experience with hours and hours of content. I love Civilization, but HexLands is not really close to the 4X genre. What I’m creating is a simple at first sight but hard to master game. And you don’t even have to get a second mortgage to afford it!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have feedback, questions, or problems with the game. I’ll try my best! Oh, and let me know if you enjoyed the game, because that just makes my day!🙂

HexLands is inspired by such great games like:

  • Islanders
  • Dorf Romantik
  • Sid Meier’s Civilization
  • and many more! (like I was listening to an endless Age of Empires soundtrack during the first month of development)
