Routes and Forges screenshot

A unique blend of RTS, Tycoon, and Tower Defense, where you are the architect, mayor, and commander of a growing village (and conurbation of villages). Your goals are simple: build a prosperous community, optimize production chains, and survive the horrors that emerge from the dark.
