Lethis - Path of Progress

Set in the Victorian steampunk world of Lethis, the game casts you as a city planner during an era of rapid urban growth powered by condensed steam.

Build housing and services, gather and process resources, and keep enough workers available to sustain production. Meet residents’ needs, use steam to power some buildings, trade with other cities, and fulfill the Emperor’s requests.

Develop cities across a 26-mission campaign with three difficulty levels, or play in sandbox mode. The game features more than 40 building types, four monuments, and over 24 resources to manage.

Some players enjoy the classic city-building structure, steampunk presentation, and the planning involved in balancing resources and citizen needs; a few also praise the soundtrack or find the management approachable. Others describe the systems as restrictive or difficult to stabilize, and criticize technical problems, limited replay value, or a city that feels quiet.
