    Lords and Villeins is an excellent colony simulator that doesn’t hold any punches. Pick this up if you want a real challenge, or get sucked into intricate strategy and economic management, though you will need a lot of time on your hands.

    Lords and Villeins is a city builder which tries a different approach to the genre introducing families and dynasties, and although it does not revolutionize the gameplay, it gives it some spice of originality. Under the hood, however, it's a solid strategy game for players who love meticulous resource management, supported by excellent visuals that will make happy those who want to spend time in the creation of detailed cities and houses. An above average learning curve could lead to no that satisfying results in the first couple of runs, but nothing that will discourage players who love this kind of games.

    Lords and Villeins delivers a very enjoyable gaming experience with beautiful graphics, which also hides fun mechanics and great gameplay. Let's go to the Middle Ages! [Issue#323]

    Lords and Villeins is anything but a simple sim game. Strategy is key or your town will suffer. It is an easy game to get completely lost, but its already active community speaks wonders for the longevity of the game.

    A very complex village builder in which your villagers live their own lives. They can unfortunately be quite stupid and the game refuses to clearly communicate what’s happening, hamstrung by its own cluttered user interface. This is fun - but only for the patient among you.
