In comparison with other city-builders Wandering Village isn't very deep. There isn't much in the way of complex systems. The art is nice though and it's fairly relaxing to play.

Timberborn is a lot more involved and there is a lot more depth to population management and economics, and it's pretty fun when you get to the level of reshaping the ground to suit your purposes. My favorite challenge is to arrange to keep the whole map green through a drought.

Wandering Village is more like a story or adventure game with city-builder mechanics, so it kind of needs a proper narrative arc.
