It's a middle ages city builder (for now). Yes, it has similarities to Banished, but honestly its so much better than Banished, and has far and wide much more potential. They've already fixed the slow terraforming with a quick update. The Dev's show dedication to the game and respond to the community accordingly.
Pros:
Features I'd like to see in the Game:
I really love Life is Feudal: Your Own, and now Forest Village. I really hope Your Own and the MMO take the buildings placed in Forest Village and impliments them. They really help with "muh immersions"
