Banished Free Download (v1.0.7)

In Banished, you guide a group of exiled travelers determined to rebuild their lives in a harsh new land, starting with little more than their clothes and a cart of supplies from their homeland. The townspeople are your most vital resource, as they live full lifecycles—being born, aging, working, raising families, and eventually passing away. Maintaining their health, happiness, and nourishment is crucial to your settlement’s growth, as simply constructing new homes is not enough without enough people to inhabit them and continue the population. The game features no skill trees; instead, any building can be constructed once the necessary resources have been gathered. With no currency system, resources become your currency, and trade vessels arriving on long and risky routes allow you to barter for livestock and crops, though these visitors may also introduce diseases. Banished offers a complex challenge through its twenty distinct occupations, including farming, hunting, blacksmithing, mining, teaching, and healing, demanding careful allocation of your workforce. Each map presents unique resource availability, requiring adaptive strategies to manage forests, iron mines, and quarries, all of which consume valuable space and limit expansion. Success depends on balancing resource collection, population growth, and risk management, as no single approach guarantees victory. The game’s open-ended design encourages experimentation with various tactics to sustain your town through changing seasons and unforeseen hardships, delivering a deep and rewarding city-building experience grounded in survival and thoughtful planning.
