Foundation is a medieval city-building game that does not use a square grid, allowing players to freely design and develop the city as they wish. Officially released on January 31, 2025, after a long period in early access since February 2019, the game has received positive feedback from the player community on Steam.


The game combines free building tools and procedural generation to deliver an optimal organic city-building experience. Unlike traditional city-builder games, Foundation allows players to construct modular buildings, creating cities with natural and unique shapes according to their own ideas.

In Foundation, players will manage villagers and make them come alive. You can assign tasks to villagers, create diverse production chains, and establish trade routes. Every decision of the player affects the development and activities of the city's inhabitants.

The game offers many different difficulty levels, allowing players to experience it in their own way. You can choose an Aspiration to explore new ways to play, or simply play in Creative mode, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city you built.

With sophisticated graphics and realistic medieval settings, Foundation offers a captivating visual experience. Every building, tree, and character is meticulously designed, creating a vivid and believable world.

Since its official release, Foundation has attracted a large number of players with a peak concurrent player count of 13,670 on Steam. This is a remarkable achievement for the debut product of the Canadian studio Polymorph Games.

Foundation received a "Very Positive" rating based on the total number of user reviews since its early access launch, with 338 positive reviews in the first two days of official release, double the number of negative reviews.

The interaction chart of Foundation throughout the early access period shows recurring peaks, reflecting that the Polymorph development team frequently listens to player feedback and improves the game based on those contributions.

Foundation belongs to the city-builder genre but differs from big names like Cities: Skylines, Anno 1800, or Manor Lords in that it focuses on creative freedom and organic building instead of sticking to a rigid square grid system.

The game is now available on the Steam platform for PC, offering players a fresh choice in the city-building simulation genre with a unique medieval style and unlimited creative gameplay.
