About
Laysara: Summit Kingdom is a uniquely challenging city builder where players construct extraordinary settlements on steep, inhospitable mountainsides. Focusing heavily on resource management and intricate production chains, you must guide your people to survive deadly environmental hazards like avalanches and unpredictable weather. Without any combat to distract you, success relies entirely on your logistical genius and ability to make an upland town thrive.
Story
After an unspecified disaster renders the lowlands entirely uninhabitable, your people are forced to look to the jagged peaks for salvation. You are tasked with rebuilding the Kingdom of Laysara across harsh, Himalayan-inspired mountains, pushing higher with each generation. Your ultimate triumph over the elements culminates in the construction of a magnificent summit temple, symbolizing the resilience of your society.
Gameplay
Master elevation-driven logistics by building complex transport networks utilizing roads, bridges, lifting shafts, and trusty yaks. You must carefully manage the distinct needs of a three-caste society—lowlanders, artisans, and highlanders—to upgrade dense mountain abodes. With fixed-orientation buildings, every irregular plateau presents a satisfying, Tetris-like placement puzzle.
