Description

Lead the people of the Tribe of the Dawn as they venture deep into forbidden lands. Complete quests that shape their personalities, impact their wellbeing, and decide the fate of their community. Ensure the survival of your populace in a grim fantasy world inspired by Slavic folklore.



Erect palisades, develop structures, and grow your gord from a humble settlement to a formidable fortress. However, expansion won’t be easy! Your population is constantly at risk from enemy tribes, gruesome monsters, and mysterious powers that lurk in the surrounding woods.



The versatile quests in Gord will have you venturing beyond the walls of your settlement, either to prevent calamity from happening or to address a personal matter of one of your subjects. The Scenario’s main objectives will guide your journey, while side quests and random encounters will dispatch you into the wilderness to hunt down legendary creatures, uncover secrets of the Ancients, or vanquish a nasty scourge. Expect the unexpected.



Set the stage by choosing from a wide range of Scenario options, and try to emerge victorious. Take it easy or set an impossible challenge; almost anything can be adjusted! Choose from a variety of primary objectives, select the level size, the intensity of raids, the environment you’ll play in, the types of enemies you’ll face, starting resources, and even the severity of weather. Of course, don’t forget the Horrors.



A healthy populace is the key to survival in Gord. Every aspect of your settlers’ lives - from illness, to hunger, to the death of their kin - can impact each subject’s Sanity levels. Keep a close eye on them, as once a subjects sanity reaches a critical point, they will suffer a breakdown or even flee your rule.



Please the Gods with your prayers and they may give you access to their spellcasting abilities. Incantations vary in nature - some are offensive while others are defensive - but they all help to tip the battlefield in your favor. Conceal areas from your enemies, gain control over threatening beasts, or turn an unholy rage against all who dare to oppose you.



The Chronicle explains the history of the Gord universe that blends real-world Slavic mythology with dark fantasy. Pages torn from The Chronicle will be scattered throughout the game’s landscapes, giving dedicated players an additional challenge of discovery. Collecting as many pages as possible will provide insight into the origins of the Gods, ancient factions, and the mystical Whisperers.

A beautiful mess

Gord could've been an incredible game, but it's the usual - beautiful, full of potential and human creativity, but someone in the higher ups seems to have deprioritized "testing" and "polishing" again. This game hasn't been properly playtested and it shows. It starts off great and invites you in, but then makes you do chores. It's really just survival strategy as in "you collect resources to build things to collect more resources to build new things to collect new resources to build newer things". The gameplay is repetetive and bland, the choices don't feel fun and everything takes forever. I wanted to bathe in its rich atmosphere, but it's just a constant parade of "you're running out of x", "you need to build y", "do this random quest now or else", "villager z is getting attacked by a crocodile and doesn't know how to run away". It's tedious and frustratingly chaotic from one moment to another and while you're busy fighting off unpredictable spawns of hell your villagers start to get stuck in the floor, buildings sink into the ground and terrain collision becomes your greatest fear. Good luck fighting multiple fights on each end of the map simulatenously, or losing your whole fighter squad against 3 snakes because suddenly they're stronger than the others you just fought. It just doesn't make sense, it never feels coherent or fun if anything bad happens. I want to love this game, but wow did actually playing it ruin my mood. The cutscenes are beautiful though.

Game breaking bugs

So, I like the consept, however there are 2 major issues that make it unplayable. Your people get sick and hurt easy, usually you need to find a witch or hermit to heal them, Niether of these work in my game. Basically my tribe is doomed because a basic feature dont work and the game is long abandoned... cant recomend

needs smoothing out

The movement of scrolling is too wonky and jittery.
