Islanders: VR Edition

2023
PuzzleSimulatorStrategyIndie
Islanders distills city-building into its purest form: strategic placement. You're presented with procedurally generated islands and a deck of building types, each offering score bonuses based on their proximity to others. This simple premise blossoms into a deeply replayable experience, as players constantly optimize their layouts and chase increasingly ambitious point totals. Its VR implementation further enhances this addictive loop, letting you physically reach out and shape your miniature island paradises.

About Islanders: VR Edition

View Game Details
Islanders is the critically acclaimed minimalist strategy game about building cities on colourful islands. Now coming to VR. Explore an infinite number of ever-changing new lands, expand your settlements from sprawling villages to vast cities and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. In Islanders: VR Edition, you begin with a blank canvas and a small set of minimalist buildings. Your goal is to populate and enrich each island with your creations, unlocking new buildings as you go by achieving a maximum score. Points are earned by carefully placing each building, being mindful of their surroundings like providing clear access to natural resources and making sure entry isn’t blocked. When you’re ready, you can travel to a new land, exploring Islanders’ stunning new environments along the way, while building bigger, more expansive structures. The more you build, the higher your score will be and the grander city you’ll be able to gaze upon before starting all over again for just one more round.
