Newest dark colony sim games

Recent colony sims with a bleak edge put you in charge of small groups trying to hold out against cold, hunger and hostile forces. In Nested Lands you hand out work, stock food and guard a medieval village through sickness and raids, while The Tribe Must Survive asks you to settle arguments and ease dread in a harsh stone age camp. Dungeon Settlers adds dungeon runs where fallen settlers do not return, so you learn to weigh every supply and role before you send people out.
