How it feels

A calm, methodical base-building and resource-management experience on a stylized alien world.

What players say

Players say Scorchlands is a tricky game to get into: its systems are opaque and unintuitive, and it takes a good 10 hours before things click. It is less a traditional city builder and more of a puzzle about placement and resource transfer. Players split on whether to recommend it, and some report poor optimization.
