In Tiny Glade you build pretty dioramas of castles and castle ruins. Even before release, the game is apparently in great demand.
Two opposing trends can be observed in small construction games: Survival building games make surviving your settlement a real challenge, while relaxed sandboxes counter with a completely stress-free experience.
Tiny Glade belongs to the latter category and is just getting more and more fans. In the list of the most wanted Steam games, the inconspicuous title is currently (at number 64).
What is Tiny Glade?
In Tiny Glade you don’t build bustling settlements, but instead build abandoned castles and castle ruins. You can use walls, towers, fences and paths as building elements, which you can customize as you like. A first trailer already shows you what this looks like:
If you build a path under a wall, for example, an archway will be created. You can add roofs to your towers and shape them however you like. Apparently, you can even work the terrain and place your castle on a rocky hill.
Once the work is done, your structure will be overgrown with ivy. Then you can look at it from all sides and try out the probably cutest feature of the building game: Namely, stroking the passing sheep over the head with the mouse. You don’t have any fixed goals or a growing population to satisfy here, instead it’s all about creating something beautiful.
How do you like the first trailer for Tiny Glade? Have you always wanted a castle building game just like this? Would you rather have a real building game with economic simulation, commodity chains and resources? Or do you miss something completely different in the relaxed sandbox?
