Depraved is a neat little city builder with survival elements combined. It plays like an older builder sim.
It’s a top-down game with some old-school graphics that’ll remind you RuneScape or something. You need to establish a city, expand your towns, and build outposts in order to help your city dwellers survive. The game takes place during Wild West times or something like that. Don’t quote me.
The game has a variety of inhabitants such as pioneers, settlers, and citizens. Each does their own thing and acts accordingly. You need to satisfy their needs and meet basic resources like food, water, and firewood.
Each class is good at something and you need to fully utilize them in order to prosper your town. Nurturing them with resources will help them build up your village and expand it. Supply chains and outposts will later be needed in order to protect them from wild animals, starvation, attacks, bandits, and diseases.
The game has procedurally-generated worlds so it never looks the same. Every resident has their own needs. You can also build production chains to further process goods and materials. The weather and seasons also change with time.
Depraved is still widely in early development but has been out for a while. If you like city builders, try out this game. It has a lot of attention to detail and is one of the newer indie city builders I’ve come across that offers something unique.
- Build up your city
- Expand it
- Protect your people from attacks
- Wild West theme
- Nice old-school artwork
- Does it offer enough to stand out from the competition?

In other words, I’m a bottom-feeder. Why do I volunteer for this trash?
