City-building games have always had a special place in the hearts of strategy lovers. But Bulwark: Evolution isn’t content with just fitting in. Born from Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, this game is taking a bold step forward—reshaping what it means to build, fight, and survive in the unpredictable waters of The Great Ursee.
The indie game, crafted by solo developer Tomas Sala, has undergone a significant transformation based on player feedback. Since its initial release, Sala has been paying close attention to what fans have been saying, and the result is a game that’s evolved far beyond its original vision.
New Ways to Rule the Waves
Now, Bulwark: Evolution comes with three distinct gameplay modes, each designed to keep things fresh and exciting:
- Original Bulwark Experience: Think you’ve got what it takes to build an empire amidst endless waves and scattered islands? This mode keeps the core essence of Bulwark alive, allowing players to expand their civilization, scavenge for resources, and forge alliances. It’s a strategic dream, where every decision counts.
- Free Build Mode: Want to ditch the combat and just get lost in creativity? Free Build Mode is your sandbox paradise. No raids, no resource headaches—just you, the sea, and limitless possibilities. It’s a perfect escape for those who love the architectural side of city-building.
- Total Conquest: For the battle-hardened players, this mode means war—literally. Starting with every faction as your enemy, Total Conquest is a relentless struggle. The raids come thick and fast, and if you think you can just build your way out of this one, think again. It’s about outsmarting and outlasting everyone else in a world that won’t give you a break.
Doubling Down on Content
But it’s not just about new modes. Bulwark: Evolution has doubled its open-world content. Players now have new fortresses to unlock, clearer progression paths, and the chance to sail into combat with their own flagship. That’s right—naval warfare just got a whole lot more personal. Picture yourself leading your own ship into battle, the waves crashing, the enemy in your sights. It’s a whole new way to explore The Great Ursee.
This expansion isn’t just for show. Since the update dropped, active players have surged by 30%. It’s clear that the deeper gameplay, added strategic layers, and the ability to truly shape your adventure are hitting home with fans
