ISLANDERS is a city-builder and strategy sim like few others. In this interesting setup, you are tasked with building up an island settlement from nothing and making it habitable to your residents with all the amenities they need to get by. It originally came out in April 2019 and now, in 2021, it’s come to Nintendo Switch, and we’ll be playing it with company from developer GrizzlyGames on a special ShackStream today!

ISLANDERS came out on Nintendo Switch on August 11, 2021, having been announced during the Nintendo Indie World livestream showcase earlier in the month. It has been over on PC via Steam since 2019 where it enjoyed overwhelmingly positive feedback from players for its offering of a beautifully lush and tropical city-building and strategy environment. On scattered islands with such limited space, can you build a settlement that will serve the needs of those who live there?

Find out if we can do it today as we’re joined by GrizzlyGames to talk about ISLANDERS on the Shacknews Twitch Channel at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. You can also watch just below.

We’d like to thank everyone who tunes into ShackStream productions such as these. Your support and interaction during these streams continue to make them fun and worthwhile. As an aside, if you’d like to support us and these livestreams, consider following and subscribing to the Shacknews Twitch channel. It really does help to keep things going. Don’t forget that if you have an Amazon Prime account, you can link it up to your Twitch account via Prime Gaming to get a free subscription on Twitch for your use each month. Why not throw that free subscription our way?

The beach sands await, the tides are rolling, and the palm trees are swaying. It’s a perfect day for a build on ISLANDERS with GrizzlyGames there to guide us. Come watch as we go live shortly!
