A strategy game set in a fairytale world. In Fabledom we play as a ruler, our job being to create a prosperous kingdom from scratch.
Fabledom is a strategy game, in which we can build our own fairytale kingdom from scratch. It was developed by Grenaa Games and published by Dear Villagers and Doyoyo Games. Its main inspirations are games such as The Settlers, Foundation and Kingdoms and Castles.
Fabledom takes place in a fairytale world, where giants, witches and flying pigs are commonplace. We play as a ruler, our task being to create a kingdom spanning the entire realm. Our job is not easy due to the dangers threatening the settlers, yet we must confront them to succeed.
The gameplay of Fabledom is shown from the top-down perspective. We start the game by gathering basic resources and constructing our first buildings, therefore - creating a small village. Once it starts to develop and its storage is full, it's worthwhile to establish diplomatic relations with our neighbors; this lets us trade with them, acquiring rare materials. Unfortunately it isn't possible to stay friendly with everybody, as sooner or later our domain will end up endangered. That is why we should choose a champion and recruit an army in advance, to have someone to defend our subjects from hostile neighbors or highwaymen.
While it all sounds rather complicated, the gameplay is designed to be intuitive, easy to pick up and not requiring a lot of learning. During breaks from managing our lands we can look at the citizens' daily lives and even... search for a love interest; though we should remember romance can influence further gameplay.
The visuals of Fabledom are pleasing to the eye and made with the use of a colorful, cartoonish artstyle. The richly animated character models are especially appealing, bringing the titular settlers from The Settlers to mind.

SavePoint Gaming: 9 / 10 by Jake Su
Without a doubt, when it works, Fabledom is a charming city builder that has plenty to offer. The game’s systems are clear and easy to understand, the lack of tension is welcome, and it all looks lovely from up top and even when you go down to street level to mingle with your people. The way alliances work is also a delight, and whether you are chasing love or a political partnership, it all seems to lead to a fairytale ending. Just make sure you have plenty of time to govern; after all, this is your kingdom.

Fabledom is a gorgeous city-builder that offers you low-stress gameplay as you continue to build your very own kingdom in a fable world. It is easy to understand, and the gameplay mechanics are fairly simple. The low-stress gameplay means that you can enjoy the game no matter how experienced you are with city-builders of the past. The combination of a fairy tale world with a city-builder is perhaps the best thing that has ever happened to this genre. Fabledom is no doubt filled with excellent moments, and in the starting hours, you will absolutely love it, but the excitement only lasts for a few hours if you are not a fan of fairy tale worlds and the fables that we grew up reading. If you are looking for a beautiful and calm city building with cool mechanics, Fabledom is a great option, and if you love fairy tales and old-school fables, you can expect to sink tons of hours into the game easily.
Softpedia: 8.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Fabledomis a relaxed city builder that doesn’t introduce revolutionary new mechanics but executes classic ideas very well. I loved spending time zoomed in, looking at my peasants and commoners as they worked and walked. It’s equally fun to find the way to another ruler’s heart by sending truckloads of tulips and running missions.
