City builder-style titles honestly attract a great many types of gamers. After all, there’s joy in building something and then seeing just how well you built it, or if you can grow what you have already made. For Hearth and Hamlet, the teams at Runic Forge, Gamersky Games, and Phorust Studios made one that would be incremental in style, to help add new depths to things. Via a press release last week, the team noted that the response has been huge, as the game sold over 100,000 units within its first week! That’s a big win for them, and hopefully, it’s something they build upon. You can learn more about the game below:

“This medieval citybuilder clicker sees players assigning their growing population of workers to gather resources, before transitioning into constructing markets, town-halls, barracks, banks, and magic academies. Encounter strange lands across the waters and set and oversee policies of trade and diplomacy to acquire exotic resources and mystical artefacts. All the while, players manage citizens’ happiness for production bonuses, and recruit soldiers and guardsmen to protect their civilization from dangerous animals and raiders.”
