Nintendo Switch to Receive Terra Nil, a Reverse City Builder, Next Week

Terra Nil, the “reverse city builder” from developer Free Lives and publisher Devolver Digital, is coming to Switch next week. More specifically, it will hit the Nintendo console on December 18, as revealed in a new trailer you can watch below. 

While many simulation games task you with creating a new metropolis or saving a colony of humans from post-apocalyptic conditions, Terra Nil instead tasks you with saving nature from climate change and the effects of humans. Instead of building roadways and buildings, you build windmills, calcifiers, and more. 

As you can see, Terra Nil is not only a unique spin on the simulation genre, but a pretty one. It’s sure to pop on Nintendo Switch OLED models, too, if you have one. 

If you’re unsure whether or not the game is for you, read Game Informer’s Terra Nil review to learn what we thought about it. Listen to us talk more about it on this episode of The Game Informer Show after that.
