Pioneer Lands

The developers rarely gladden the players with a release of a new Time Management game which would have some fresh storyline, not those typical projects about restaurant or hotel running. NevoSoft have compensated for it offering their Pioneer Lands project.

Pioneer Lands represents a complicated mixture of the traditional resource-gathering style and a farm-like games. The events take place in the Wild West. Pioneering new lands, you are to cope with classical obstacles though, but due to the absolutely new decorations, characters and locations the game looks really fresh and inviting to start. The gameplay itself is characterized by another setting, too. It differs from the ones of other Building games by the feature that you have to design your strategy in order to arrive at a goal based on the hindrances and resources of the current level namely. Having completed a level, you earn stars which you use in purchasing materials for your rancho. There is an additional challenge on every level, and you get an award having achieved it. Thus the new flavor of a seemingly habitual game makes players grow interested in Pioneer Lands.

The scenes of the American countryside constitute the strongest side of the game graphics. The artwork in general is attractive and clear with the exception of some animated cut scenes. As to the music, it completes the game design by pleasant sounding of Western rural melodies.

Pioneer Lands is definitely worth including into your own top-game list. Originality of the storyline and fresh innovations of the standard Time Management Building gameplay make Pioneer Lands stand out or even go a step forward.
