Banished

Updated v1.0.7

Banished is a city-building strategy game where players manage a settlement of exiled travelers starting with minimal resources. You must gather food, wood, stone, and iron to construct buildings and sustain your population. Citizens age, have families, and eventually die, requiring careful planning to maintain workforce levels. Health and happiness affect productivity, while harsh winters and droughts can devastate supplies. Trade with visiting merchants allows barter for goods without currency. Success depends on balancing growth with sustainability in a challenging, resource-scarce environment.

About this game

Banished Overview

Banished is a city building game where you control a group of exiled people who are restarting their lives in the wilderness. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.

The townspeople work, build, get older, have children, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and fed are essential to making a successful town grow. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so.

There are many occupations that the people can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to fishing, teaching, and healing. You can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, and more!

  • Build a city with any layout you want with almost no restriction on when, what, and where you build.
  • Keep the population happy and healthy by providing them with food and warm shelter.
  • Watch the town grow as you assign 20 different jobs to build buildings, grow food, craft tools and clothing, and more!
