Early Access review

Great, cozy game

Great, cozy game with vibrant art and catchy medieval soundtrack. There is much work to do for devs but I am looking forward to release at the end of January. Game should look even more beautiful with changeable weather and improved building system, etc.

Good ideas, but slow and unergonomic

The visual are good and the village/town feeling is good, with the organic paths and customizable monuments. But the production lines are tedious and handling the need of villagers is really really painfull: it's hard to see why they can't fulfill their needs and to really prepare all thing needed. Production building have a very long inertia, and you need to plan a lot in advance to avoid shortage of ressources. Also when villager upgrade their home, it create an enormous spike of material consumtion that can slow all your current constructions. Also, there is a lot of small frustrating UI problems: "continue" don't load the last save, can't select a leaving villager so you need to find him/her, can't select directly a villager from promotion screen, ... To sum up, that game was boring, when you need to wait for material production ou events. There is a lot of waiting phases where you have nothing to do while waiting to have sufficients ressources to advance.

Nothing wrong, but nothing special

Not a bad citybuilder, but, ouside of the map generator, there is not much of a challenge. It looks very cute and has potential but not that much substancial. is a bit of a resource hog in specs for the mediocer graphics. Not bad so a 6/10.

Relaxing Medieval City Builder

A unique medieval management sim focused on the day-to-day operation of one's fiefdom. Worth buying for the experience, I truly feel like a lord when I play.

Pretty great

It's a pretty cool game, entertaining with lots to do. Have been playing for several hours and still want to keep going. That said, there are quite a lot of things I find confusing though, don't know if it's a newbie thing or the game does pourly on explaining some of it's mecanics. Also, everytime autosave starts it lags heavily for me.
