Preis Update 20.03.25

Ostriv hat zum Ziel, die Erfahrung des Städtebaus zu verbessern, indem es eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten hinzufügt und lästige Beschränkungen entfernt. Es ermöglicht wirklich organische Stadtlayouts ohne Raster- und Winkelbeschränkungen auf einer dreidimensionalen Landschaft. Das Ziel ist es, die Schöpfungen der Spieler lebendig und glaubwürdige Gemeinschaften werden zu lassen, in denen realistische Probleme auftreten würden. Dadurch wird das Endspiel zu einer neuen Herausforderung, anstatt einer wiederholenden Aufgabe.

Dieses Spiel befindet sich noch in der Entwicklung! Bitte kaufe es nur, wenn du die Entwicklung unterstützen und detaillierte Fehlerberichte sowie Feedback geben möchtest, um daraus ein Meisterwerk zu machen, das es verdient. Die Entwicklung erfolgt langsam und stetig, daher kann es zu längeren Verzögerungen zwischen Updates kommen.

Hallo ihr.

An sich ein wirklich innovatives Aufbauspiel wo man gerne zusieht wie nach und nach alles gebaut wird Ressourcen transportiert werden etc. Ca, 20 Spielstunden und einige Guides die ich mir angesehen habe später läuft es dann auch mit dem Dorf.

Ich fände es nur wirklich gut wenn man nicht von Anfang an alle Gebäude freigeschaltet hätte sondern man gezwungen ist gewisse Gebäude erst zu bauen und damit die nächsten in der Produktionskette freizuschalten.

Da ich diese ruhigen Spiele liebe habe ich es mir gekauft um diesen Entwickler zu unterstützen. Was in meinen Augen verbessert werden sollte ist die Schrift. Diese ist etwas zu klein und durch die fast gleichfarbige Schrift die sich nicht genug abhebt schwer zu lesen, zumal wenn man etwas älter ist. Auch könnten die Tabellen, die sowieso wenn man sie aufruft das Spiel verdecken, auch größer sein

Ein sehr Schönes Aufbauspiel.
Einige Sachen/Dinge müssten noch Verändert werden.
Das Siedlercamp müsste grösser sein(Doppelt so viele Männer/Familien.....) , Winterfest gemacht werden können (denn , bis zum Winter für alle Häuser zu Bauen und auch noch die Infrastruktur für Roh/Bau....materialien und Ställe(Tiere kann man vorm Winter Importieren , Winterfutter und eine Ernte Weizen etc.noch bis zum Winter Ernten))Die´Zwangsregelung´jeder muss bis zum Winter ein Haus haben funktioniert nicht.Das Siedlercamp ist ja sowieso ein Lagerort , sollte also als solches Fungieren(Importierte Dinge dahin.........usw.als auch als kleiner Laden bis ein solcher Gebaut ist), bis ein Lagerhaus gebaut wurde.
Desweiteren finde ich es sollte Berufsgruppen geben(mir ist der Schmied davongerannt und hat etwas anders gemacht - während die Nägel etc.gefehlt haben........mehr schreibe ich dazu nicht..........die Schmiede ist ein beheiztes Haus mit 2 Etagen in dem man´nebenbei auch Backen kann´.........trotzdem wohnt keiner in der Schmiede.........)Das Siedlercamp könnte man nachdem alle Häuser haben als Marktplatz und einen Teil als Lagerhaus umbauen , da es ja bis dahin als solches genutzt wurde.Einen ´Handelsposten´zu bauen(in dem ein Manager sitzt , der nicht Fähig ist mal dem Lieferanten die Tür aufzumachen , während sich derselbe mit den bestellten Baumaterialien an den Baustellen vorbei auf den Rückweg macht................)sollte man Überdenken.
Nice Game - aber noch nicht fertig

Ein Nettes Spiel, nicht besonders schwer, aber schön und entspannt zu spielen. Die Grafik ist in Ordnung, nicht mehr, das freie bauen und ein paar nette Ideen wie z.B. der Ackerbau mit seinen Bodenwerten gefallen sehr gut. Zum spielen nach der Arbeit um etwas runter zu kommen eine gute Sache. Ja kann man ohne bedenken kaufen. Der Preis ist auch OK.

Ich habe dieses Projekt schon damals bei Kickstarter unterstützt und ausgiebig getestet. Deshalb erlaube ich mir nach nur wenigen Spielstunden auch diese positive Wertung. Als ich vor kurzen mich mal wieder nach dem Entwicklungstand erkundigen wollte,wurde ich sehr positiv überrascht das längst ein Steamrelease stattgefunden hatte. Und das hat dieses Spiel auch zu 100% verdient. Man bedenke es ist ein einzigster Entwickler der wirklich viel Liebe und Mühe ins Detail gesteckt hat. Ich war nicht nur zur Geburtsstunde dabei von seinen tollen Projekt sondern durfte mich auch von einer künstlerischen Meisterleistung in dessen Entwicklung überzeugen.
Es ist auf jeden Fall jeder Cent wert und finde das es weiter unterstützt werden sollte.
Performance Top und Grafikstil entspricht auch noch der heutigen Zeit.
Deshalb eindeutige Kaufempfehlung von mir für Leute die einfach mal bisschen vor sich herdatteln wollen in einem detailreichen Aufbauspiel.

Anfangs etwas schwieriger als Banished, kommt mir vor, detaillierter und besser animiert. Gute Produktionsketten (Hanf - Textilien - Kleidung) und auch die 3 Felderwirtschaft muss beachtet werden, wenn dem Boden die Nährstoffe ausgehen. Tiere für die Tierzucht müssen erst gekauft werden, können auch bei Nahrungsmangel sterben. Wirklich gut gelungene Aufbausimulation, bei der es nicht langweilig wird.

Schon jetzt in der Alpha Version ein tolles Spiel, es macht süchtig. Ich hatte bisher nur einmal einen Absturz ansonsten läuft es sehr stabil. Sehr interessant finde ich das alles selbst gebaut werden muss und nicht für Geld aus dem Boden wächst. Nach etwas Einarbeitung ist auch das Micromanagement gut beherrschbar. Würde mir wünschen das die Deutsche Sprache noch dazukommt. Mein Englisch ist nicht gut genug. So habe ich viel durch probieren lernen müssen.

I really love city building games especially ones that can test your abilities to keep people alive. In my first couple of attempts people left camp and it became hard but once I realised the importance of some buildings and order best done in it got easier. All I do is build the forester and clay pit first then set four into forester building to build supply of wood once there was a pile I put it back to 2 and build up the building team. Then just the 9 houses and the thatchery and everything else can wait. I then build the farm, then the smithy and carpenter. The carts are fine this whole time. If you then get food storage and market stall and set storage to buy from locals then find the ones most supplied and set them in the market stall provided you have excess jobs you have filled the requirements to attract people so build more houses. The more people at the start the better and the more labourers available for the farm in March the better so I often sack people from jobs that I can for March to get the lots planted quickly. Once the town hall is built you can set this automatically. Then Trade is needed after this to start selling charcoal and buying iron etc I also buy salt so I can do dried fish and then build on other things as I have other buildings.

This is a game unmatched
Supreme leaders of the gaming world. You made a game with every small detail included in a city building game that one can dream of. Where were you my whole life.

To be honest, I have played for some time till i discovered on Steam and immediately jumped on to that journey. This game is mind blowing and a real big thanks for the experience.

The updates are getting better also which is good as we get more and more content now. (Will still get the additional expansion when i get a extra buck) but the given content is already a nice hand full.

In the long run this game must please always stay in Early Access mode so that you never stop working on it.

I send more than support, also I send prayers and blessing for your families and friends. May God be with us all

Again thank you and great game, and looking forward too seeing what this game will show us

Ostriv is truly one of the most impressive and realistic settlement games ever made. As an Eastern European, I am truly fascinated how accurately it shows the reality of its times and how precisely it presents details of Slavic and Ukrainian nature. The trees, the music, even the way it is snowing in the winter - it is just so Slavic and realistic! Every little detail of this game is like a work of art and makes me proud that this game represent my parts of the world. Game play will keep you busy and it is challenging but peaceful . It is worth starting few villages and restart when you learnt from your mistakes. It is worth adding, that for its complexity Ostriv really has very few minor bugs and developer is very proactive in resolving them. Also, the Soundtrack is an absolute must - a true masterpiece!

Ostriv is definitely one of the better indie games I played, but keep in mind, my revieuw is written while the game still isn’t fully released and still in alpha .
The game for an alpha really is quite great already, I ran into verry few bugs and whenever I had one, reloading the save resolved it every time.
this game really has some amazing graphics and amazing mechanics, the way you have to micro manage the workers, the fact that you actually can follow the production line of stuff makes this game really satisfying.

this game is also really relaxing and calming to play, may it be the amazing sound track, the gentle graphics or just the calming atmosphere in general.

the only thing the game lacks a bit is a tutorial, because in the beginning you have just the right amount of stuff to build some specific buildings in a specific order, and knowing it gets really difficult at times .

The game has been on my wish list for a long while. I was just waiting for the game to finish. However, given the recent event in Ukraine, I decided to buy this game at its full price. The developer is a Ukrainian living in Kharkiv, a war zone that is now under siege and heavy shelling. I can't even fathom how much terror the developer is feeling at this moment. There is not much I can do, and I don't even know whether the money will reach and help the developer. But I sincerely hope that the developer and all people in Ukraine stay safe.

This is not a recommendation of the game by itself. And I don't know how long this game will be finished or even can be finished. It's only a humble piece of kindness I can offer right now.

War is never right, let alone an invasion.

I really like this game, I don't review a lot of games, but this one has a lot of promise, but because its early on, there's a lot of things to improve upon, getting started is a challenge, because buildings require so many resources and so few people to start with, even when the game is sped up, it takes a really long time to build the houses to start your town growing. Food is another thing that's hard to come by, to build a farm, it takes ages to grow, to catch fish, you need to build boats first. There is no way to simple gather or hunt food in the beginning to feed the town enough for expansion. Migration of new people is difficult because of the immediate need for food, and without food, people leave making it even more difficult to build new buildings and grow /transport food. Not enough food, not enough resources, too long to build, collect, transport goods, and not enough people to fill all the jobs.I would also like to see a better more efficient way to trade and make money. I find that if the trade post isn't built fast enough, or the buildings for the animals aren't built fast enough and water, I run out of money and can't buy enough animals to sustain my town, or they die from crops not growing fast enough. Other than that its a great game, hopefully with some improvements, it will be even better.

#1 I do not like the grid-less building in this game, with “natural” roads – it’s just a big mess!! It’s nearly impossible to place a building straight, and the terrain doesn’t flatten, so you end up with a crooked building half buried in the ground. Ugly.

#2 The game seems to be designed so you have to do exactly what the developer intended, or all of your people leave. It’s much worse than Banished, in this regard. There is a very short window of opportunity to build the houses before winter, or people leave and impossible to catch up after that.
There are never enough people, and to make it even worse – some jobs can only be done by men! Seriously, why this complication? Then, you run out of food and don’t have enough variety……
I have not been able to get very far – and I am sure that is in part me – but I’ve played Banished and been successful …. And I didn’t have to start over a million times!
The building animation is pretty cool, but it seems to take a very long time to build things. I like the building que, and the fact that you can put certain buildings on hold. Graphics are decent and overall it seems to have potential. It’s obviously a work in progress.

Jury is still out – I will try it a few more times and if I can’t get past the 2nd year – I’ll consider it a donation.

First things first; attention to detail in this game is top notch. Especially the building process, takes my breath away, i feel like i can see every single plank placed and nailed. Well done.
Jobs and economy structure, population chart and the way people are distinctive, all are beautiful.
Patches and upgrades are spot on most of the time.

Then why am i downvoting?

The game in its current state lacks purpose and continuity / replayability.
It never feels like a genuine living community and soon you are out of options to add to your townfolk.
Updates take way too long, probably due to the number of devs working on this project. (is it just one?)
At this pace it will take years for this game to be completed, if the developer does not give up, before that of course. Steam cemetery is full of such games, unfortunately.

One of the best city building games out there, hands down.

Great stuff:
+ Fresh take on the genre. Never would I have thought that I´d spend hours building 18th century Ukrainian town from scratch.

+ Music is fitting and very beautiful, a true pleasure to listen.

+ The management system is well thought and extensive, but not too complicated. Assigning jobs is easy, but it did take me a while to understand how laborer/worker system worked, and how seasons affected the village's workload. Assigning working seasons and hiring builders saved my village several times, so remember to build that construction office.

+ Watching the little villagers go through their daily duties is entertaining. They work hard but also take little breaks and go chill on benches if you remembered to build them around the village. After their long day they relax in tavern. Unhappy villagers will move away, so keep them clothed, fed and give them a roof over their heads. Little bit of money during hard times won´t hurt either, and you can decide to give your more unfortunate villagers some financial aid.

+ Attention to detail is amazing. I´ve never seen a crop rotation in a building game like this, and I was amazed how thoroughly it had been thought. You get to experience the whole chain from field to the table, and this applies to animals as well. Chickens and other animals don´t magically appear to your coops and sheds, you have to actively trade for them and take good care of them once they arrive. You have to ensure that the chain for their food supply and storage works as well all year around, just like with your villagers. Otherwise the reaper man will pay a visit and then you have to start the process from square one again.

+ Game is not easy and it is surprisingly well balanced at this stage already. Balancing the workload and food/supply distribution during different seasons was pleasantly hard. I didn´t live in an Ukrainian village in the 18th century, but I trust the devs that this is a fairly accurate video game depiction of those times.

Not so great stuff:
- I´d like better notifications if some part of the production line is halted due to an ingredient missing or lack of workers/laborers. Maybe some more logs and controls for the villagers too?

- There is a bug where villagers just freeze and do nothing. This sometimes prevents the game from progressing, if the villagers were doing something crucial like in my case, taking clay from clay pit. One villager blocked others from using the pit, so all building was halted. I noticed that saving and restarting game seemed to fix this.

10/10 game even at alpha stage. Can´t wait to see the new things promised on their roadmap.

The King of Medieval township games

I really like medieval games that feature hard labour instead of wizards and magic. I've tried Banished and Foundation, and while these games were good, Ostriv comes along and smacks them both.

There are a few cool features that I didn't see listed in the game description or from reviews so i'll state them now before getting stuck in.

Amazing Animations

I was immediately blown away when I saw the first buildings going up. They are animated PIECE by piece, meaning you get to see every panel, plank & clay wall being put up. This must be utterly painstaking to animate and plan for in the modelling process. Foundation, timber and then interior walls - you gotta see it in action.

There's no 'banging a corner with a hammer', each part of the building is carried (by hand, cart and eventually wagon) to the construction site, and then erected by the workers once all materials have been received. I LOVE when games do this, it gives a real sense of immersion. Bravo to the solo developer for these amazing animations. It's even better than Soviet Republics construction process.

Farming and Soil management

Your farms take a little bit of planning in Ostriv due to crops eating the plotted farms nutrition. You have to cycle between crops to not use up the fertility of the fields. If you do, you have to miss a year by making the field fallow so the fertility can regenerate. Fallow means dead for those who don't know.

Thankfully, when you eventually get livestock - you can set your animal barns to use these fallow fields to help with the regeneration. Also, when you have ploughs (you need animals for them), ploughing makes fertility more efficient.

It may sound daunting but it's really not, I highly advise looking on the wiki for a great image of meta crop cycles. Make this the first thing you do if you want to get stuck in.

Using cattle to help the farms is an awesome feature, If you have a full farms on the go you can also make dedicated pastures for them. It's a simple toggle switch on the animal buildings to 'allow fallow field pastures'.

Modular Housing

There are two choices of houses in this game, one is just a house by itself and the other contains a garden. The garden house allows you to not only move the house in the construction plot via pins, but also you can move the fences too which allows custom garden sizes and shapes.

This lets you have beautiful housing sections in your town, and the gardens are important because the villagers will grow their own crops/food in their plots for themselves. You can also set your granaries to buy from locals for their sweet vegetables/honey at a cost of course. A very organic and cool system, probably my favourite if I had to say.

No need to painstakingly decorate each house with fences/plants because the villagers do it for you. Houses look organic all fenced together with plants/food growing - it's very satisfying right out the gate.

Dynamically formed paths

I've seen this in Foundation but Ostriv does a better job. There's no need to plot paths as your villagers will wear down the terrain to form eventual paths. This gives your village another +1 in the organic-look department.

Worth highlighting because it's just another immersive feature in the game. I'm fairly certain paths fade too, so if you have built something afar, it will eventually settle back down to one singular main path, rather than all the trails from the construction workers, if that makes sense.

Easy villager & Job management

I liked Banished but juggling labourers and active jobs became very annoying in the mid game. Ostriv keeps it simple by having labourers as a separate type of job. You assign paid workers to buildings, but labourers are basically freelance workers that automatically are called upon once needed from your unemployed pool; They are useful for a lot of buildings!

These guys are the life savers of your farms and transport related buildings (Moving food/items etc). Charcoal burners for example, do not have a dedicated job-slot so are reliant on labourers. It just feels right, and how a village would be run. There's no annoying gaping holes in the workforce like in Banished.

Initially when you start you may struggle with people leaving jobs, but with the Town Hall you can adjust wages up a few % so people don't leave critical roles (Farm Manager, Boat builder, 2 Lumber dudes). Just keep building houses so you have labourers ready to slot in when needed.

Certain job roles can only be performed by men, which leaves a large women labour-force. I highly recommend using women for Granary work/markets/farm labour. It's good to have a few unemployed women for these purposes. The town hall will allow you to see the unemployment rate.

Villagers are named and are smart

I like it when NPCs are named and have families in games. They grow old and die and their kids take over. Time passes month to month for a whole year in Ostriv so granted this takes a while. Your villagers go about their business each day and also take rest which is essentially the games form of sleeping.

Fun random praise: BENCHES are actually animated and are functional for resting periods. I haaaate when city builder decoration objects are not used and accounted for mechanically! So bravo again for this.

Villagers will go to your markets to buy food and clothing (important, because if they don't have clothes, they'll move out) and do their job. They can become destitute if they don't earn money, but you can throw them 5.00 coins to sort them out if you desire.

They will complain about lack of food variety but I don't think there are any adverse effects or happiness stats/efficiency mechanics yet. As long as they have food you're good.

It never feels easy, in a good way

Foundation & Banished kind of reach a point where things are easy, you have huge surplus of everything, but there's a sense of dread every year in Ostriv. Do we have wheat for the animals? Sunflowers for selling?! Did I remember to check the farm cycles before spring?

There are finite elements of the production processes in this game. Limestone is limited which is used a little later into your villages life, and things like salt/cloth production are reliant on a mid/late game product-chain.

You HAVE to trade Iron because there are no iron deposits or infinite mines [yet?]. I kind of like this as trading is essential for survival at times. My tanners are slow AF so I'm always buying in Iron & Leather because the curing process takes 6 months and metal is always being produced for cart repairs and horse tack stuff. You will need to buy buy buy. Thankfully everything is cheap and you never feel too cheated.

Trading really feels like medieval trading like a real village would of done back in the day [i'm assuming]. You can also sell stuff to other villages with trade posts/docks. Buying livestock, selling stuff you've grown/made.

My tip for you early would be to invest in sunflower oil. Grow sunflowers, make them into Oil & Sell. It's the easiest of the trades and if someone wants 3000 Oil, it's a good 400 coins which is very good; this leads me into my next segment...

Productions feel limited & Trades can be difficult early on

For now, the game is heavily reliant on food and animal produce for trade goods. Despite what I said about liking trading, I really hope there are some more early game options such as foraging and creating low-tier products for sale.

A starting village won't have much to trade. The best basic thing I've found is Charcoal, and eventually Sunflower oil. Charcoal is pretty much unlimited due to the foresters being able to build sustainable tree-nurseries which in of itself is another great mechanic in this game I wanted to fit into this review.

I have to cut this short but AMAZING game, lots to come and it's in active development.

First of all, let me start by saying that this review is of the current state of the game, and is largely reflective of the speed of development. If they pick up development, my opinion might change.

The early game of Ostriv is pretty solid if somewhat repetitive. Establishing your first set of houses and industry/food buildings is straightforward. I love the weathering system, which creates natural roads among the most commonly used paths. (This doesn't provide a walk or speed bonus or anything).

However, once we get past the first part of the game, the game kinda...fizzes out. Yes, there are more resource intensive food products you can give your people, but building up a supply chain for lime and salt in order to get a leather industry working is pretty much the last major hurdle of the game. From there, it's just the same thing over again, and very few compelling reasons to keep developing past 100/150 citizens or so. The way that the game scales (which is actually fairly accurate) means that within a couple of years you can have enough construction workers even to build a full new set of houses/farms/graineries/markets/etc in a few months.

I understand the game is early access, but buyers need to be very aware of the timelines of this game. Once every six months or so, another building gets added. When they add a new building, there are no obvious changes to the rest of the game loop. For example, they added in the ability for people to have small gardens...which is currently the sole source for most of the food items in the game. Farms cannot produce anything other than wheat/buckwheat/potatoes, even though in their gardens, citizens can grow onions, lettuce, carrots, etc. They added a way to move these into the market places, but continued to cap the markets at 4 items. So if you want to have one market selling, say, all of the vegetables, that's not possible.

Wheat is an early game food item, and indeed is the default option, but it's totally useless without a windmill. Seriously?

Iron is required for literally everything, but there is still no way to mine iron. Stone is apparently everywhere based on the weathering animations but the only stone my stone miners can dig are the big outcrops on the other side of the map?

An economy exists, but it is out of the box unbalanced, and doesn't matter; you can buy infinite amounts of anything you want on apparently unlimited credit. The only thing you can't do when you're in debt is send a messenger....which totally makes sense. I've got cattle, horses, food, cured meat, extra laborers, but I still have to pay gold in order to send somebody to another town to buy things with pure debt?

Ostriv could very well be the next Banished successor, but if they continue at the current pace of development, they'll never get there. I'm very worried that this project will end up as abandoned as that one did.

It is a slow process but well worth it. I am excited to see where he takes it. After coming over from Banished, I tend to have a little patience for development. You can see the developer's passion with each tweek of the game .Highly recommend this game!

I am biased as this game is inspired by my birth culture, but I can see that the developer is putting a scrupulous amount of attention into these fine details of the game that make me sit for several hour sessions at a time without noticing. It's getting better and better with each update and I am perfectly willing to let this game grow to its full potential and take as much time as it needs because it is made with genuine love and research.

It took me a little while to understand the worker/labourer mechanics of this game and the way the various buildings interact but once it 'clicks' everything makes perfect sense. The attention to detail in both gameplay and graphics is stunning - it's the only sim/building game that I've ever cared enough to think carefully about how to place buildings and beautify their surroundings. As an example, when placing a house with its own garden, you can change the size and shape of the plot and re-position or even rotate the building within that plot. And there's no single generic 'house' - although you can't choose the style directly it will be randomised (within certain parameters to fit the overall style) as will the crops and plants grown in its garden. When you add the ability to place fences, trees, benches and so on anywhere you please it's easy to create a realistic look.

The gridless format allows for the development of a natural looking settlement and fortunately the path-finding is up to the task - watching a wagon of imported goods thread its way through your village is brilliant.

At the 10 hour mark I've barely scratched the surface in terms of production buildings. Yes, it's a fairly slow burn as others have said, but you can use the time to plan ahead, decorate or study the actions of your villagers to figure out improvements. Alternatively, just use the time controls to speed things along. I can't see why anyone thinks the game is 'brutal', I'm three years in on my first play-through and

There are similarities to 'Banished' but even at this stage of development, this game is in a different class. Thoroughly recommended for village-builders everywhere!

Amazing little game! You can play it to just see your rural village develop, or you can play it in a more serious using the realistic fiscal policies at hand (different ways of tax, setting wages, setting market selling prices).

Currently you can't get too much out of this game. In my first play through (not Steam version) I got about 12 hours out of it, and I'm currently in the process of finishing my alpha 4 playthrough.

This is one of those games with immense potential and I'd love to see the additions of crime, education and more services and goods to fufill. I'd also love to see some sort of threat that reappears on a cycle such as an attack from brigands, or a harsher winter as at the moment the game is just a relaxing city builder.

A charming little town building simulator with an interesting setting (18th century rural Ukraine). It's quite similar to Banished but offers way more depth and content. You build your small village up from the ground, place houses, workshops, wells and so on. Especially cool is the farming system. The soil features three different nutrients and different crops require different amounts of these nutrients to grow. Consequently you'll have to figure out a system of crop rotation, including fallow for optimal efficiency.

There are a few visual bugs, but they'll vanish as soon as you quicksave/quickload, so not a huge issue. I experienced a single crash but didn't lose any progress because of the frequent autosave. There aren't many music tracks, so they'll repeat somewhat often. Didn't bother me much since they're quite quaint and fitting. Can absolutely recommend it at full price, which is pretty modest anyway.

This is between a thumbs up and a thumbs down. The game is very slow which is fine but sometimes can be brutal. The first year is paint by number and I can watch a full movie on normal speed. Plop down a forestry, nine houses, carpentry, smithy, town hall in the first year. Plus maybe a cart storage, charcoal pit, Storage shed and a granary. In year two you probably want to get you trade center up and maybe a farm with a lake water source.

One thing that is annoying is the storage is super small becoming full quickly. Especially when the forestry can hold nearly 40,000 resources. In the second year after the mad rush to build nine houses or should I say slow rush. Your people are already running out of food diversity. Before you even have the ability to grow / fish / trade for other foods. And this is after building nine houses with gardens where they can grow food. You can partially mitigate this by having your citizen sell food and let other citizen buy that food. But it runs out quickly. If you get your trade up quick enough you can fix this problem before anyone dies. You also may be able to get in a season of farming in the second year.

After the town is stabilized you can grow but outside of this the game really does not have much going on. The economics of the game are strange where you not only manage the towns money but also each household as well.

I do like a slow burn but the game feels slow and lacking features like upgrades or research. It's not a bad game however it's not a great game ether.

Has been in EA forever and still has game breaking bugs. I should say that the dev is thorough in their research and has a keen eye for historical authenticity. Even so, as a general rule, you shouldn't purchase a game where you have to disable your antivirus in order for you to play it. It's novel, but as it is, not worth the money.

What a fun game! You build a settlement in the 1700s in eastern Europe. The goal is to create a thriving city and trade with other cities within the game. While not as polished as a AAA release, the game has a ton of charm and it's really fun to plan your city and figure out what you need next. The game will give you some hints as to what to do, but it won't hold your hand. Nothing is perfect in the 1700s and Ostriv does a great job of immersing you in the world of your people

I've been following Ostriv and playing it since it was first released as a download link. Now it's on Steam and I'm loving the gameplay and following the development journey. Keep in mind, this is still a game in progress. Having said that, it is still worth playing and enjoyable if you like economic strategy games. The building in the game is fascinating to watch as builders build piece by piece for the most part. That must have been a headache for the dev haha
Resources are super tight early on, so you need to be careful what you build and when to ensure you can make it through the first winter and get stabilised in a year or two. Personally as the game currently stands, I go through phases of spam playing it, then taking a break for a few months and coming back. By then the games had further work with new additions making a different playthrough each time.
Graphics wise it's 'OK': pretty from a distance and fairly good up close. Models are fantastic, although there are clipping issues at times like boat sails going through bridges. Not a deal breaker for though.
Overall well worth getting even in its current state, as well as a refreshing change of setting from the more Anglo medieval settings in these types of games.

Interesting twist between Banished and Dawn of Man. After about 8 hours and 3 towns, I did begin to lose interest. If development continues, it has the potential to be a great game.

One of the best Early Modern Era Town Building Games I've ever played. Resource management is great and well structured. Developer puts out fixes very quickly to problems. Updates are a bit far between in time but a good bit of content is always added and is well polished unlike other games that break with half done new content. The developer has a great attention to detail, dedicated to building a great game, has big ideas and plans for the finished product as well as being many years in the making.

Loving the Eastern European setting. Having been to Poland many times and having friends over there and learning their history has given me a big appreciation of the setting. Can't wait for the game to be finished and look forward to many many more hours of playing and growing my town into a city.

So two things to keep in mind with this. It's a Very good older times city builder and quite similar to banished (prob the best banished clone i've come across if it only had the content updates to keep up with it). The game has so much depth to it from walking on ground to make paths, to you having to build actual boats if you want to fish in the fishing dock, and crop rotation to name a few. The sound design is fantastic and very fitting. The amount of content is decent....but this brings me to my second point

The amount of end game content in basically non existent. There is literally only one house type. This game has a VERY slow update system from devs. Its one that's good right now but you'd maybe have to shelf for 6 months to a year before it being playable again after your first play through.

Side note, the trading system with the other towns is a really cool addition but PLEASE balance it, there is basically no reason selling higher tiered products for how incredibly cheap they can be bought/sold.

Highly recommended for fans of games like Banished, Dawn of Man, Flotsam and other city / colony style city builders. Ostriv has a wonderfully unique feel to it in part because of the setting (18th Century Ukraine I believe) and the huge level of detail that has been put into small things like the building animations. A great achievement for a one man development team indeed. It must be noted that the game still HAS lots of content to still be added. I managed to give everything a try in under 20hrs of play time but the depth of what is already there bodes well for the future of this game. I cannot wait to for proposed additions such as a crime and justice system to the game. This one is going to be a cracker. I wouldn't wait - sink your teeth in now!

Good game. Super beautiful. Relatively easy to manage. I never died like in Banish.
As long as you have an industry that can export several items you survive.
There is a lot more to do though and the key question is what's the mission of this game? Maximum state coffers? Or largest population? Or war? I'm not so sure.
The game is at the moment kinda static. No upgrading of buildings or people through education. Everything stays the same once you have built it, other than the path people walk and snow every winter. That makes it optically boring. The government steering options are absolutely minimal and you kinda err in the dark to try and see what works.
Overall I really enjoyed this BETA. Good work Devs. After a good few hours you know how it works and you have built every industry and then it loses some appeal.

I think this game is a lot of fun and just beautiful. It is challenging and you think you have everything under control and things are going smooth... Then you make a decision or something happens and suddenly half your town is moving out and your doing damage control. I enjoy this game a lot.

As a long time Banished player, this is what I've been waiting for.
My only complaint is that I felt the price was a bit steep for it's current build (as of Sept 2020), but I am very excited to see it grow. I feel good that the final version of the game will be worth the cost at least.

This is a very realistic feeling game. The level of complexity in the 'people' and the economy are spectacular, not so much from a graphics POV (although that is terrific too), but the depth of thought that went into to interplay and relationships between the aspects of the community. Not much help and there seems to be missing some fairly 'normal' and expected items (bakery). Best mnoey I have spent on a game in along time.

I love playing Ostriv and have been since Alpha 1 (almost 4 yrs ago). It's my 'go to' game. The one I go to when I'm done with the others or need a break from the intense blood pressure rises from games like Frostpunk.
Ostriv is a 'no nonsense' game . Almost a simulation more than a game. Even in Alpha it is very full of different scenarios for you to explore, you just need to find them, and a number of maps that seem the same, but different.
The relaxed beautiful Ukraine music and atmosphere is perfect for our real world escapes just now.
You won't find fighting/combat here. You will find families, marriage and good 'old fashion' work even with gender working roles.
This game has given me many years of wonderful game play and for the money I'm very happy.
The future of Ostriv is exciting and as a senior (in age bracket) I can only hope I'm around for at least some more years of play and expansions.

After playing a real life day of OSTRIV I can give this one a solid yes. I have been playing this one from Alpha 1 before the steam release. The updates are solid and the town building has some unique features. I enjoy that you the workers have wages that you can adjust.

If you want to visually check out the game first I have 3 seasons now complete showing off the new update content. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2NZzDrzXcUuM0aRP-Yti5t6Thof1pw_I

I have been playing this game for a long time (before it came to Steam) and really enjoy the details. The way the people are dressed, the way the people build and how the tree start off small and grow over time. The game is not always easy as you need to work out a good balance between building and population. I enjoy the challenge. I give it 11 out of 10 .

As long as you are grounded with this being an unfinished EA game, it's great! Some things are missing still, but as a single dev endeavour Ostriv is a great addition to city building games. In so far, I had encountered no bugs, and the game runs smooth, albeit a little slow and confusing at the start (probably due to the lack of a clear tutorial, which understandably isn't a priority at the moment.)

I'd say if you'd like to pick a dev to support, this is a good game to share some love.

Even if OSTRIV is an early access game, it offers players much content. It's basically high-end BANISHED. There is a few downsides, but I don't wanna mention them because hey, it's an early access. Dev responses fast, because of that I felt bug reporting is actually useful. The game is fun to play, shows a lot of promise. I recommend OSTRIV as a player of PHARAOH, ZEUS, CAESAR, BANISHED, INDUSTRIES of TITAN, SURVIVING the AFTERMATH, FROSTPUNK, RISE of INDUSTRY (and many many others).

System:

64 GB DDR4
M.2 storage where the game is installed,

Pros:

-level of detail is nice
-very enjoyable resource management
-I enjoyed the seasonal changes and the general feel and style of the game

Cons:

-Once I started getting over 200 citizens my game became completely unplayable as the game was running very slow
-Maybe this game is worth like 5$ at the moment because the performance isn't there
-I did not like the fact that the fields would get exhausted that fast and the uneven number of slots compared to types of fields on farms made it difficult to really enjoy being a farmer.
-tree cutters take extremely long to cut trees and please implement something where you can slide and select the trees or items to be removed.

will update if these things get fixed

Overall I enjoyed Ostriv. played about 17 hours before I felt I had accomplished everything I could.
pros: music and graphics. If you like to mange all aspects of the economy you can, such as how many workers at each location what items you want to grow and what you want to trade etc.
Cons: time moves VERY SLOW even on the fastest speed. Often it is hard to figure out how to get your citizens to go to work or do anything when they are at work.
Improvements: Budget, you can go in the red all that you want with out any consequences. Maybe levels that you can choose such as level 1 no financial limits and no natural disasters, level 2 some financial limits like you could get loans and natural disasters.
A tutorial on the difference btw storing items in a warehouse or grainary vs the trading post vs. chicken coop or smithy. and how that impacts if citizens can get to the item to produce something or eat.
More decorations for the city.
Education and wellness buildings.
It would be helpful to have an overall business tab that could show you how many citizens are working at each location and you could manage that number from one spot instead of having to click on each business to find that out. Why can I only have 2 carpenters at a time per location??

I look forward to any upgrade in the future.

So far I love it. Definitely a learning curve, and I've found that it's hard to recover from a downward spiral. But you learn each time. It's very in depth and trying to be realistic so if you're in to that then definitely pick it up. The graphics are really nice, and I love all the custom animations in the building stages!

Currently there are limited features but enough right now to get a good game going. I've read some things about bugs people are having but I really haven't seen any super bad ones. I hope the tutorial gets expanded a bit too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes with the next update.

Loooove this game. Finally got the hang of building my town over 100 members, and then the map runs out of my main economic resource. RIP every town ever. Maybe I should be at an economical point to be able to purchase these resources from other towns, but that sort of kills the feeling of my town being completely self-sufficient.

With only a small handful of maps and hardly any resources on any of them to speak of, playability is very short lived. I'm not sure if one could even get to 300 or more citizens without some very crazy schemes.

Still starting over and managing a town until that point is fun. We need more updates, please!

Ostriv is in Early Access and is missing a lot of the complexity that the developer clearly intends bringing to the game, and after 180 hours' playing, including writing a couple of guides, I am now taking a break having got about as far as I can go.

However, seeing that I have just posted a negative review for a game that was fully released over six months ago and is riddled with bugs, with no apparent will on the part of the developer to fix them, I just had to post a positive review for Ostriv. What few bugs there are are minor and the developer fixes them as soon as he can. The game is very polished and looks and plays beautifully. It already contains more than Banished, its nearest competitor, and even in its current state has managed to keep me both occupied and happy for a considerable time, and I will doubtless return for more in the future.

If you think this game will appeal to you, then buy with confidence.

Status of experience before giving this review
Been playing city builders since Settlers 1993) Yeah am a bit old now
Version Alpha 0.2, 34 hours played
Village 300+ residents
Every type of building built
8 restarts at varying stages to learn the ropes

QUICK REVIEW

For those that don't want to read an essay
By today's early access standards this is way better than an Alpha
Very positive feedback from me, stable, rarely crashes (3 times in 34 hours of game-play),(And when it does easily rolls back to the last auto save with just a few minutes lost).
Feature rich for an alpha and a lot to do and micromanage.
Most systems are already in place which just need expanding, e.g. more content adding and a few tweaks to management. (See his Roadmap
A few minor nuances but easily worked around, nothing to stop the enjoyment of the game
A selected mix of Banished and Rimworld with much more appealing game-play.
Micromanage Buildings, Manpower, food, resources, crop rotation, storage and trade over 4 seasons which does effect everything.
Sounds and graphics all good.
Animations are terrific. (Just watch a video of the foresters carrying logs or the plough working or the builders building and labourers dropping off building supplies)
GUI in general ease of use, very good clear and intuitive

MORE IN DEPTH REVIEW

Placement of buildings can be pre-planned if the game is paused (Deleted rotated etc)
Build order can be changed, individual build orders paused.
So in theory with enough game-play experience you could plan out your entire village before actually building anything
Once experienced and having the right management and buildings in place (The town hall) you can automate a lot of the tedious stuff but still leaving enough to keep you busy tweaking.
More specifically You can set the manpower peak and offpeak season for any production building, allowing you to set the required manpower for each month
Examples:
Farms are super busy during sowing and harvesting season and need all the manpower they can find during those seasons. So with the town hall built and a councellor in place you can set other buildings offpeak times to coincide with say the harvesting season, allowing you to reduce the manpower in those buildings freeing up a large labour force for the farms to hire, otherwise you will not get all the crops in
[spoiler]Rivers freeze over in winter allowing you to recuce the fisherman to 0 and increase your available labour force for elsewhere.
The tannery has to be constantly manned during batch production, any failing in achieving constant supervision will cause the batch to fail. It's devastating when this first happens and now know that and wont let it happen again, I lost a lot of leather production, so no saddles or shoes made for a long while.[/spoiler]

These are just some examples of manpower management.

I wanted to add a lot more however the character count limits me so will add more info in the comments

A good Multi managing game made by a one man Band...A Ukrainian Developer.
Hand down to your sir!!!

You build your Ukrainian town from just a small camp in the 1800s.
Very relaxing music,Graphics is ok...Good Mechanics and Game realism is good as you watch buildings get build in detail.
I did enjoy playing this game in Early Access.
The developer has much more in mind and makes me both hopeful and excited for future updates....

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The current roadmap is as follows.
campaign (story mode)
more production chains
more statistics(production, consumption, trade etc.)
improved trading: trade by sea and by river, negotiations, discounts, reputation
education, religion, entertainment
crime, justice and security
more types of housing(row houses etc.)
more types of bridges, paved roads
orchards, more crop types
improved graphics and optimized performance for bigger cities
Linux (and maybe Mac) support
more weather effects
cats and dogs
more believable behaviors, social activities, animations
products quality, spoilage
worker experience, sharing experience, manager skills
private businesses
more town hall functionality : advisors, policies, personnel management
more maps with different landscape types
more languages
complete game manual and in-game tips
customizable building colors and forms, ornamentation
modding support (level editor, building editor)

Good game for early access but not much to do right now. I can tell the finished product is going to be amazing; watching the buildings go up is really satisfying... the little paths townspeople reminds me of Settlers 3.

I really enjoy Ostriv. I've been playing the game on and off prior to the steam release and I still find it enjoyable and challenging. If you've played Banished, then you'll probably enjoy this game. Its a similar concept, but honestly I actually prefer Ostriv. There is a certain charm to this game, lots of little details and it is quite apparent the developer has put a lot of love and effort into this. I'd say my favourite features are the building animations, and the way people naturally form paths.

So far I haven't had any crashes, performance has been pretty good on a i7 6700k and Geforce 1060 6gb. Only major bug that I've had is sometimes a white line (I think it's a pathing marker) will appear and require a restart to get rid of it.
Some things I'd love to see added, would be the ability to build cobblestone roads, and maybe townhouses. Also a way to continue to gather Limestone after the initial deposits are used up.

Definitely buy this game if you enjoy city builders/Banished style colony management games.

To me, Ostriv is the finest city building, survival, simulator ever produced. I have been playing this game through the early days of development and with each passing year Yevheniy has added and improved features making this the most realistic game I have ever enjoyed. Many other simulators have a lock-step pattern that must be followed to keep the game going and success is tied to streets or grid system, therefore I tend play those on high speed. I enjoy Ostriv at the slow pace and enjoy the villagers going about their tasks. This game allows for imagination and the villagers create their own dirt roads by their own activities. I really love the feel of the genuine Eastern European village setting. I highly recommend Ostriv.

Overall, this game is amazing! Especially for being an early access game, the amount of detail in the design and mechanics of the game is impressive. Here's what I like and a couple things I'm hoping to see in the future:

LOVE:
- Supply chain mechanics for resources (food, clothes, materials) is really in-depth and provides a level of challenge as it takes realistic amounts of resources, buildings, and workers to produce items like flour or nails for example.
- I really like the immigration requirements. It's a lot more real with food, job availability, etc. whereas in other games all you need is available housing and they just show up.
- I think the trade system being based off the demand of other towns is really neat. It requires you to be a bit more strategic with trade
- The style of the buildings and game is super cool

Things I'd like to see in the future:
- Stuff they're still working on like additional buildings, health/education, etc.
- It'd be cool to choose what the houses look like in terms of variety
- I wish I could store more resources in the trade building or at least be able to build a trade auxillary or something to store more resource types to account for trade

Something that's worth noting, the developers of this game have been very transparent and clearly working hard to release updates and provide info of what's next. I'm excited to see where this game goes and can't wait to play it more as it develops.

this is an awesome build game if you ask me. So much attention was paid to so many details that you could write a book, from the changing of the weather to the damn cows grazing in a farm field. Can't wait for future updates in the education and health departments. Hopefully a Tavern will come into play some where down the road, citizens need a place to get drunk. So many possibilities for this game. Double Thumbs up.

This game is flat-out beautiful. Even in very early access, there is so much polish. I love simply watching the townspeople go about their daily lives. I love watching a house go up; a new family move into town by wagon; a kid from one house go over to their friend's house to play; an army of farm-workers descend on ripe wheat field or hemp field to harvest; a fishing boat drifing lazily up a slow-moving river. I love that I have overall control of this but also am a passenger watching it happen.

I can't wait to see what the developers continue to do with this game, because already it feels like they're making something they love. I can't promise you that you will feel $25 is acceptable for a very early access game, but I feel like I'm getting my money's worth just from enjoying the world.
