How it feels

A methodical struggle for survival and rebellion in a medieval open world where you build a settlement and lead an army.

What players say

Players praise the early village building and atmosphere, but the game is weighed down by excessive clicking, tedious inventory limits, and AI voice acting that many find immersion-breaking. Combat divides opinion: some call it broken while others appreciate its timing-based system. Long-time players report development stalled after a console port.
