    City Tales – Medieval Era is a fantastic city builder that takes its own relaxed approach. Its use of companions and its unique, satisfying building system allow you to create a massive, sprawling kingdom and appreciate some character-driven narrative along the way.

    City Tales embraces a slower, cosier approach to city building. The district system rewards strategic placement rather than constant micromanagement, and the companions add depth to the story and gameplay mechanics. Combined with a soundtrack that quietly adapts to your progress, the game creates a cohesive medieval atmosphere that is easy to settle into. For players looking for a city builder with a rewarding gameplay loop that doesn’t require constant micromanagement, City Tales offers a satisfying alternative.

    City Tales - Medieval Era offers a fresh new take on the genre, but might lean a bit more cozy than challenging.

    A charming city-building game to enjoy after work, when you want to relax but don't want to be completely idle.

    A deeply relaxing city-building game with a beautiful medieval atmosphere but limited complexity – ideal for unwinding.
