The base-building genre of video games is vast, especially considering that there are a lot of games that have building mechanics but don't focus on base-building for the majority of the game. If you have a creative idea for building a structure or settlement, then there are tons of different video games that you can use to express yourself. Video games such as No Man's Sky and Subnautica allow you to build your own base while also offering a completely unique theme. Some base-building games don't feature any particular time period or location, including games like Terraria and Minecraft.
Here are the best base-building games available. Updated November 19, by Michael Caruso: There are many base-building games to jump straight into across every platform.
However, some of them bring more to the table than others. You can encounter base-building games that feature open-worlds, quests, and stories. However, some base-building games are simple and focus primarily on building as the main mechanic. If you enjoy building beautiful creations, then you should know about each of the best options available, regardless of if you want to build a giant castle or a tiny cabin.
Here are some extra base-building games that feature unique mechanics and immersive worlds. Rust is an online video game that features hardcore survival gameplay. You have to survive against many threats in the wild, but the primary threat comes from your interaction with other players in the world. You can use weapons to defend yourself and craft a plethora of different items to aid you on your journey.
Similar to many other survival games, Rust features a base-building system that you can use to create structures. The structures you can create in Rust help you survive against NPC enemies and other players. Rust is perfect if you want a base-building game that has challenging online gameplay. A Nintendo Switch exclusive , Animal Crossing: New Horizons , is one of the most unique base-building games you can play in the current generation of video games.
You can customize your Island however you like and keep yourself busy with fun tasks such as fishing and speaking to NPC characters on your Island. Unlike many other base-building games, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a relaxing game that doesn't feature challenging combat or a dangerous open-world.
As such, you'll enjoy Animal Crossing: New Horizons if you want to create and decorate your home and avoid challenging gameplay. The past few Fallout games feature base-building as a core gameplay mechanic; however, Fallout 76 is unique because it allows you to create bases wherever you want.
Instead of only having individual settlements to unlock, you can use the CAMP system to create a structure in most parts of the map. The CAMP system is convenient since there are many places you may want to build a structure throughout the Wasteland, whether it's near a location you want to visit or simply a beautiful piece of land.
If you like Minecraft, then CastleMiner Z may be perfect for you. CastleMiner Z includes open-worlds for you to explore and build in, with a similar art style to Minecraft that uses blocks as the world's terrain. However, CastleMiner Z is a more intense game than Minecraft because it includes terrifying enemies that are much scarier than those you encounter in Minecraft, including Zombies, Dragons, and Aliens. For a horror game with base-building, you should try CastleMiner Z.
Satisfactory allows you to build a factory on a new planet, and you can build in a few different biomes, including a desert, a forest, and grasslands. Although building a factory is somewhat different than other base-building games, it's a nice change of pace from the traditional base-building gameplay. You can collect resources such as Iron Ore, and your starting location will determine which materials are abundant at the start of the game.
Building an automated factory has never been as fun as in Satisfactory. You can play Satisfactory on PC. Stardew Valley is a game that's all about farming and how you interact with the town's people near your farm. Your job as overseer is to ensure the survival of your citizens. This involves mining minerals for resources, building hospitals, and maintaining order. Once your city is stable, the game then introduces bigger goals to entice you further.
This may include large-scale military operations or exploration missions. The Settlers have always been one of the longest-running hybrid video games in modern history and it oddly combines city-building with real-time strategy RTS and many other elements from other genres.
This depends on which Settler game we're talking about but The Settlers: Paths to a Kingdom is one of the rare gems in the franchise. It takes place in a medieval world, making it a unique title in this list as well for its ingenuity alone. It borrows mechanics from Civilization games where you get to pick a leader or faction and build your mere plot of land into your own empire through military actions, development, and many more aspects not present in other city builders.
Banished is one of the most unique takes on the city-building formula for this list since it delves into a setting that's practically unexplored in its genre: medieval era. In that regard, you control a group of exiled travelers in Banished whereupon you're forced to build your village and eventually city from scratch after being banished by a feudal lord.
This also makes Banished a survival title on top of a city-builder-- something you don't usually experience in city-builder games. The game even makes it so that your primary resource is townspeople who get old, get sick, and even die, making managing them an important element of this game. It's worth playing alone for its unique take. Continuing with our space theme, we have Madruga Works' Planet Base. All the usual suspects are here: base building, resource management, and citizen satisfaction.
Where Planet Base sets itself apart is its varying types of planets. The game allows you to choose between four different planets , each with increasing difficulty and different environmental hazards to contend with. For instance, the frozen planet will pit you against sub-zero temperatures, while the Storm Planet will hit you with a deluge of storm effects.
It is up to you to keep your pioneers alive long enough to create a stable and liveable colony. Frostpunk , as the title suggests, focuses on the importance of warmth and surviving the harsh cold.
In an alternate version of history, humanity has been defeated by climate change and been forced to contend with extreme cold that has decimated most of the planet. The tale is a grim one, to be sure.
As the leader of humanity's last hope , you must use what little resources are left to try and construct a haven to keep the dwindling population alive. Frostpunk is not for the weak-willed and will challenge you both technically and morally. As the story unfolds you will be faced with difficult choices that will ultimately change the world around you. The level of depth and storytelling in Frostpunk is rarely seen in this genre. Few games are as addictive in nature as Anno The game intrigues players by using the carrot-on-a-stick method that rewards you consistently the more you play.
Set in the not-so-distant future, Anno provides players the opportunity to reshape civilization after disasters have decimated much of the planet we're sensing a common theme. There is a little something for everyone here: large-scale economies to manage, warfare among other factions, and deep gameplay.
No seriously, you can build a city underwater! Embrace the future and build a new world. Tropico is a far lighter take on the city-building genre than our last few entries. That is to say, it is far more comedic in nature. The gameplay here is still complex enough to keep you busy for hours on end.
In Tropico 6, you begin as a governor in the Colonial era, with aspirations of becoming "El Presidente" of your ever-evolving island nation. The levels get faster, a little harder, and a lot more complicated as the game progresses.
If you like Match 3s this one promises to be hours and hours of fun. Rated 3 out of 5 by hyprmut from Too bouncy I use this type of game as a cool down after work.
The repetitious nature of the series does not bother me but the games seem to be getting more and more juvenile in their graphics. That does bother me. Are all the bouncy arrows, moving buildings and "look here, stupid" hints really necessary? I felt trapped in Barney's Playhouse or Blue's Clues. Barely escaped without a headache. Won't be purchasing. Not everybody purchasing here is a thirteen year old girl. My tolerance for yet another bouncy graphics game is not there.
I felt the visuals and the sound were about on par with most other time management games. I thought the story line was funny and I really liked the inclusion of all the facts regarding the Empire State Building so it was also educational, this contributed to my five star rating for the Storyline section. It was a fun play through once, but I don't feel it has any replay value for me as the challenge level was lacking. It was ridiculously easy to get 3 stars from the majority of the levels and only a handful required a second try to get all three stars.
I would highly recommend this game for children, and new time management players. Experts will notice the lack of challenge. However, I also enjoy games that carry some connection to their title within the game-play as opposed to simply providing a theme around which to base yet another generic t-m game. I was disappointed that the game play didn't actually contribute towards a physical construction model of the Empire State Building.
Effectively, you simply have to complete each level in order to effect a progression in the building of the title. There's no real connection between the inter-level scenes and the actual gameplay in each level. The various facts about the building in the title are interesting but, overall, I felt disappointed that you don't see your gaming efforts actually leading to the growing build of the Empire State building. In truth, I'd like to see a game where you're delivering materials - both raw and pre-constructed - to the main construction site itself and be able to view, in-game, the fruits of your efforts and watch the ESB actually going up and up However, I liked the premise of this one as far as the theme goes building the Empire State Building.
However, I found it just as disappointing as the other MB games. With this one, you are dealing with the same scenery in level after level. The graphics are highly outdated. Even the 'actors' vehicles look like something from an 80s video game. I gave the trial a chance, but it was a no-go for me. Perhaps it may be different for you - but I recommend trying the trial first, not flat out buying it. Rated 2 out of 5 by fishhead from Boring Sorry but graphics are outdated and it's just not fun.
