Pioneers of Pagonia

“Pioneers of Pagonia is a deep and intentional city builder that rewards care and planning. Its rough edges and slow pace make it less appealing, but its classic design and linked systems make it a great choice for serious strategy fans.”

“Pioneers of Pagonia rewards patience and understanding, offering a city builder that grows richer the longer you stay with it.”

“Pioneers of Pagonia is a great city-building title, one which simplifies certain familiar aspects of the genre in order to better introduce its satisfyingly deep production chains and management aspects. Combining production, trade, exploration, and war, this charming city builder should provide the kind of depth genre veterans enjoy with enough accessibility for brand new players to feel just as welcome.”

“Pioneers of Pagonia has made several meaningful improvements since launching in Early Access nearly two years ago, and it's now well worth your time.”

“After many hours spent playing "Pioneers of Pagonia", one thing stands out above all else: the tranquility of a game that draws its excitement not from spectacle, but from the quality of its growth. The settlement develops steadily, layer by layer, until a few pioneers give rise to a finely interlocking network of paths, workshops, and flows of goods. Long-term motivation comes primarily from your own planning. Those who enjoy fine-tuning production chains, optimizing paths, or rethinking village structures will find a constant challenge in "Pagonia".”

“Pioneers of Pagonia is a legitimate successor to The Settlers. Rediscovering classic settlement gameplay with modern helpers was great fun — building roads, gathering resources, and watching settlers bustle is still enjoyable in 2025. Only a few hardware issues and the awkward military system slightly dent our overall impression.”

“Pioneers of Pagonia is not only one of the cutest, but also one of the most substantial city builders I have played.”
