What Outlanders is
Outlanders is an indie game developed by Pomelo Games and released in 2019. It is available on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Outlanders are individuals. Simple folk with hopes, dreams, and desires. You cannot control them directly. Instead, you place buildings, manage resources and declare the number of work spots in each building, then watch the Outlanders themselves decide who takes which job, which house they inhabit, and which building to build. You can nudge them in the right direction by prioritizing certain tasks, or by passing Decrees, which bend the rules of the game to allow things like longer work hours and tighter resource consumption. But beware… these often come at the expense of your follower’s happiness, so use them wisely.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What it launched against
Outlanders launched on 19 September 2019, within three weeks of Borderlands 3, GreedFall, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019) and Gears 5. It arrived 2 years into the Nintendo Switch's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Borderlands 3, GreedFall, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019), Gears 5.
