About Hardship

Hardship is a survival-focused city builder, where managing people, resources, expanding your settlement and progressing through an in depth tech tree is key to survival.

You'll gather materials, craft tools, buildings, and deal with the daily needs of your citizens.

Every system ties into your town's ability to survive and grow, all within a changing environment with unseen dangers.

Collect vital materials like wood, stone, food, and more. These resources are the backbone of your settlement and must be managed wisely to sustain your population and support construction efforts.
Hardship screenshot 5
Plan your settlement layout, assign roles to citizens, and manage their tasks. A strong infrastructure and well-organized workforce are key to survival and expansion.
Hardship screenshot 6
Set on a planet with a shifting day/night cycle and an approaching winter add a layer of strategy. Who knows what threats are lurking in this unfamiliar solar system.

Hardship screenshot 7
Equip your citizens with the means of production and defense, from headgear and to hammers. A well-equipped citizen is not only more productive but stands a better chance against the elements.

This is just the beginning. This is my dream game and I have big plans for continued development, community feedback, and meaningful updates as the game grows.

Thank you for checking out Hardship.
