Genre puts it alongside Craft The World, and so does a casual, approachable feel, procedural generation and fantasy world. The common ground extends to base building and 2D presentation. Where the two diverge is game mode and world: strong narrative focus and pixel art.

Shelved next to Craft The World for good reason: a sandbox world, fantasy world and single-player focus. To that it adds resource management and 2D presentation. They part company on game mode and visuals: this one brings pixel art.
