Gnomoria

Guide a small group of gnomes who have settled in a procedurally generated world. There is no fixed story or required goal; you shape the settlement into a kingdom in an open sandbox.

Assign gnomes to dig tunnels, mine and chop materials, build structures, grow farms, and craft goods at workshops. The environment can be dismantled and its materials reused for construction or crafting.

Stockpile wealth to attract wandering gnomads, while deciding whether to keep a peaceful settlement or build defenses against invasions. Traps and mechanisms—including contraptions made with levers, hatches, and steam engines—offer further ways to shape your base.

In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy Gnomoria often value its open-ended settlement building, the satisfaction of watching gnomes work, and the freedom to develop a colony from scratch. Some also praise its building and crafting depth. Other reviews focus on the game being unmaintained and on bugs, crashes, slowdowns, and save concerns, so enthusiasm is not shared across the sample.
