Review notes
Black Forest is worth a closer look if you want rural cozy, management, farming, and base building.

Steam review snapshots
But as someone who prefers survival/city builder/resource management games over pure tower defense, it still needs some work.As such, it eventually becomes mathmatically impossible to expand your village, or even keep up with the needed repairs.A game that has been out for three years should NOT be this buggy.I like the dark atmosphere and different creatures that attack you.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual, strategy filtered by single-player.
