About This Game

Colonize: A 17th Century City Builder

Experience the calm yet challenging life of the first settlers in the New World.

Colonize is a relaxing building strategy combined with survival elements, set during the iconic colonization period of the 17th century. Step into the shoes of a colony leader and guide your people through the hardships of a new land. This is a game for those who enjoy thoughtful planning, resource management, and the satisfaction of watching a settlement grow without the stress of combat or warfare.

Build. Manage. Thrive.

Focus on what matters: the prosperity of your people. In Colonize, there are no enemies and no soldiers. Your greatest challenge is the environment itself, the economy, and the well-being of your citizens.

  • Three Unique Locations: Embark on a journey through three distinct levels—Roanoke, Plymouth, and Bermuda. Each brings its own atmosphere and specific conditions to master.

  • Deep Economic Simulation: Manage your resources wisely. Establish production chains, refine raw materials, and ensure your colony is self-sufficient.

  • Trade with the Old World: Expand your possibilities by trading with England. Larger ships mean better trade deals, but also more mouths to feed and lives to manage.

  • Customizable Experience: Whether you want a completely stress-free building session or a more demanding survival challenge, you can adjust the difficulty to suit your preferred playstyle.

A Note from the Developers: We are a small team dedicated to creating a focused, atmospheric building experience. We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts on how to further polish the game. Join our Discord server to chat with us directly and stay updated on bug fixes and improvements!

This game is supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council.
