The blue-print tool also allows for endless versatility and architecture styles that leads to me coming back to try out a new play-style (with a personal favourite being the entirely underground Mole Men). ![]() While each individually on their own are great (with the music being so exceptional I listen to it in my own time for the chill vibes) together they become much more than the sum of their parts. The unique graphical style, gameplay, and music DEAR GOD THE MUSIC. Stonehearth is a city-builder that is truly unique and stands on its own compared to every other city builder. Then why the positive review? Did I really just write this just to give the middle finger to a studio? Well in some parts I'll admit, yes that had something to do with it, but in equal measure I constantly find myself coming back to this game to start up a new city and start all over again. As a result, it seems as though this will be the first and last game this studio will ever produce. However, upon initial full release of Stonehearth in 2018 (with developers stating they would continue the addition of features mentioned of being included) Riot Games pulled the plug on all future development, with Radiant instead being conscripted into the League of Legends machine, with their second game Rising Thunder cancelled and so far have been left dormant since 2019. ![]() To those of you who are unawares of the fate of Radiant Entertainment, they were bought out by Riot Games in 2016, back when they had a semi-favourable reputation as publishers and developers. Then Riot Games killed the game's official development in the bud. ![]() This combined with the wholesome soundtrack accompanying it all made it a highly anticipated game with a lot of potential from some really hard-working developers who I honestly think will go far in their careers. The unique aspect of this city builder is that it is voxel-based as well as it's unique blueprint mechanic, allowing you to design your city the way you want it. The first city builder I ever really played, and an excellent one to boot.
