    Самый реалистичный симулятор средневековья из существующих. Но из-за отсутствия современной графики и ужасной реализации интерфейса не тянет на 10ку

    Купил игру когда о ней еще ни кто не знал. Игра божественна ! ждем ММО !! Игра действительно для друзей и одиночку тут очень сложно ! Это стоит того !!

    This game ruined my life for two weeks. Very addictive and wonderful gameplay, the devs are constantly working and adding new features. Recently they added seasons and herb gardens. Most the negative reviews are from people two years ago when it was in alpha. They game is released now and those reviews should be totally ignored.

    when you get a good group of people, the gameplay is limitless.

    I never thought the game of my dreams would ever be made. Life is Feudal is that game. While it's still a work in progress, the game already offers hundreds of hours of gameplay and fun. Warning: this game is "hardcore" (with exceptions- keep reading).

Life is Feudal is that game. While it's still a work in progress, the game already offers hundreds of hours of gameplay and fun. Warning: this game is "hardcore" (with exceptions- keep reading).

    Synopsis of gameplay:
    It's an open medieval sandbox world that's ready to be transformed by you and your fellow knights (FYI, to be successful, you'll typically need to play this game with friends or with other players that you meet in game). You start in the wilderness, with hardly any clothes, and gather edible food to stay alive, along with plant fiber and sticks to create primitive tools. With these tools, you slowly become self-sufficient: building a house for yourself, farmland, crafting equipement, and digging a mine. Soon, you have a little village going! Maybe even build a palisade wall around it to help keep out hostile players! ;)

    Multiplayer:
    It's very important that you play this game with other people because LIF revolves around having to use teamwork to succeed. One cannot learn all the skills, yet each skill supplments the other. So if you hope to eventually make a small village, don't expect to do it with just your hermit-self. You need a specialized blacksmith, farmer, miner, builder, and alchemist to get everything done! And hopefully multiples of each ;) IMPORTANT: Use in-game global chat to FIND other players, or search the LIF website forums for groups in need of more members! (don't just walk around aimlessly in-game).

    ^There IS an exception: Private servers can be personalized by the admin to allow players larger skill caps (to obtain most available skills) as well as skill multipliers, which make work/leveling faster, potentially allowing you to play solo, or for shorter periods of time. But this is not the original "vanilla" version of the game.

    Pros:
    -I've never had so much fun playing a game before. Give it adaquete time before you judge it.
    -Medieval realism, sandbox, open world, terraforming, no-target combat, full-loot PvP. Pinch me I'm dreaming.
    -Player-built and player-run world. No NPCs.

    Cons (potential):
    -Very difficult learning curve. It's hard to familearize yourself with game mechanics.
    -The game is very hardcore (UNLESS you are playing on a severely customized server). If you're a Call of Duty fan, leave before it's too late!
    -You're going to need to put A LOT of time into this game if you want to build a completed settlement with your mates. The journey, while slow, is a fun one though. If you don't have the time, try waiting for the MMO version (where settlements will likely demand a smaller share of responsibility from you).
    -Being in Alpha, some elements are naturally not working as well as they should be (ie. smoothness of combat, wild animals, occassional crashing). BUT the deveopment team is extremely active, and updates are always rolling out. This game is even exponentially better than it was a week ago (I was a pre-alpha tester for months outside steam).
    -This 64 player version (MMO info is below) does not prioritize combat. There is no clear mechanic that allows for competing groups of players to wage war against each other in order to destroy each other's settlements. (You can still fight for the sake of fighting though and kill each other). But if you are looking for soley a combat/fighting game, do not get this. It's design leans towards crafting and building the world around you.

    Long term goal:
    This is the 64 player version of a larger MMO that they are trying to generate funding for. The MMO's success rides on the success of this smaller game. Both have the same gameplay mechanics, so development of one equally benefits the other. (FYI: Sieging/large-scale combat will be more prevalent in the MMO).    … Expand

    Medieval simulator, make your journey, build the evil realm, or the realm of goodness, drop trees, and load the trunks to your base, forge swords, fight against invaders, and make alliances, this is LIF YO.

    Нереально крутая игра для фанатов средневековья и песочниц.
    Терраформинг - просто крутота. Графон - выше всех похвал.
    Добавят чуть более плавныее анимации и эта игра взорвет ММО

    This game has bad optimization, yes. Also, someone may not like that you need to farm, but I like it. Atmospheric music does a lot of things

    So much simulation so little gameplay. Life is Feudal shows medieval life really in detail, but the problem is, that it's not fun at all. [Issue#260]

    Life is Feudal - like many of its peers in the genre - is not enough fun or rewarding in the short term, and the long game is only for true devotees.

    Many of the terraforming mechanics are interesting, but when it comes to the variety of the missions, the game design utterly fails.
