Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

This stylized aesthetic is getting more and more popular again. But nobody forces you to look at it. Just don't ruin it for the rest of us with your negativity.

It’s not just retro aesthetics, it’s a straight Settlers 2 clone.
