Games Like The Settlers® 7 : History Edition (2026)

Shared: local-multiplayer, Map Editor

After two decades of franchise misfire, Unfrozen has done the unthinkable: built a worthy successor to Heroes III that actually respects what made the original great. Early Access, yes, but already dangerous to your sleep schedule.

Shared: Skirmish Mode

The definitive desert castle-builder, now in HD. Firefly's Crusader-era RTS holds up shockingly well two decades on - if you can stomach the brutal AI.

Shared: City-Builder

Water management so deep it'll ruin your sleep schedule: Timberborn makes dam-building feel like genuine systems engineering, wrapped in a post-apocalyptic beaver colony that somehow stays charming the whole way through.

Shared: Skirmish Mode

Build a dungeon, raise an army, then unleash it on the overworld. Dungeons 3 is a darkly comedic blend of Dungeon Keeper management and real-time strategy that holds up well.

Shared: Skirmish Mode

A sprawling 4X real-time strategy set in space where fleets of capital ships and diplomacy decide who rules the galaxy. Deep, slow-burn, and still worth it.
