Dorfromantik is a peaceful strategy game in which the gameplay consists of laying out the terrain with colorful blocks. The title was developed and published by Toukana Interactive. This is the first project of this developer.
Dorfromantik is a casual strategy with elements of a puzzle game, in which we deal with building a picturesque village - we arrange the landscape from various hexagons. The game was developed and published by the independent studio Toukana Interactive and is the debut project of this developer.
In Sky Haven the action is observed from above (top-down view). The basic rules of the game are somewhat reminiscent of what we know from the board game Carcassonne (it also has a digital edition - Carcassonne: Tiles & Tactics). The player arranges successive, randomly generated pieces of a coloured board (they represent both terrain and other things - such as creatures or objects), trying to create as interesting a landscape as possible - a village and the surrounding lands.
However, that's not all, as some of the pieces offer additional tasks - e.g. they require arranging a certain combination of other blocks. For example, a deer wants to be surrounded by a forest, while a locomotive requires a certain number of pieces with tracks. By completing these quests we unlock access to more elements, terrain types and tasks.
We receive points for all our achievements and every block we placed. The game ends when we run out of puzzle elements.
In Dorfromantik we can only play alone. The core of the game is the single player mode.
Dorfromantik features a simple, 3D graphic design, which stands out with its interesting artistic style - the game world resembles a colourful model or a board.

Game Ratings for Dorfromantik Video Game.
XboxEra: 8.8 / 10 by Győző Baki
Dorfromantik is a brilliantly crafted single player puzzle game that just happens to look like a board game, as it’s all about placing hexagon-shaped tiles in the most optimal ways possible, creating beautiful landscapes in the process. What seems like a simple formula that may bore you quick, may keep you up way too long at night – and it certainly did so for me, so you can trust my word on that.
Completexbox: 90 / 100
In terms of options and accessibility the game is rather simple. No keybinding is a sadly missed feature for me as I would love to control what the triggers and bumper buttons do outside the default, it can become cumbersome for me as my world increases in size to move around it in a satisfying and comfortable way. Similarly there are no visual accessibility options such as a high contrast mode or an option to make the glowing edges to show “perfect” placement more apparent. The white Hexagonal outline is sometimes easily missed in the pale pastel void outside your tiles. Sadly missed from the PC version (at least for now) is the option to turn your finished run into a creative world where you can continue to build and lose yourself. Nevertheless Dorfromantik remains a delightful and soothing game for me and my kids both. A game I’ve loved since its PC release, to the point of buying both cooperative/solo boardgame versions and have been eagerly awaiting a console release to jump in here too. If you have lost yourself to games such as Islanders, or Townscaper or even the kind of board game from which Dorfromantik is inspired by, you could do little better than considering diving into its soothing, welcoming arms.
Game Informer: 8 / 10 by Marcus Stewart
Dorfromantik balances its strategic and cozy elements well, and it's easy to fall into a serene trance of dropping tiles. Pulling the camera back to reveal the full scope of my landscape always feels like a satisfying reward for my subtle, hard work, much like stepping back to admire a finished painting. While it's not the sort of puzzle game I feel compelled to play more than a session or two a day, I always appreciate the improved mood with which it leaves me.
