    Medieval Dynasty is a survival RPG that manages to stand out in the oversaturated market that it occupies. By combining ideas from several other popular franchises, developer Render Cube has managed to create a genuinely unique product. Its story hardly stacks up against AAA RPGs like The Elder Scrolls but it's good enough given the game's many other strengths.

    Medieval Dynasty is a gorgeous survival/crafting and town management adventure game that satisfies our primal urge to create, build and form a community. After spending a year in early access, the ‘full release’ definitely has a solid foundation, but some mechanics could have used a bit more time in the oven. If you’re prepared for a long term investment, you’ll reap a fantastic reward.

    Medieval Dynasty delivers a nice blend of survival sim and economy game with a story layer behind it. The only thing that’s lacking is social aspect: Stardew Valley proved how important are neighbors for a farming game, but in Medieval Dynasty they’re just puppets with some basic needs and no actual character.

    Medieval Dynasty is a motivating medieval city builder from the first person perspective, in which players have many things to do. The world, however, just doesn't feel alive.

    Medieval dynasty is a fun, relaxing survival RPG, even if it's not always exciting.

    If you have a lot of free time (50-60 hours seem like a reasonable minimum) and are in no hurry, if you enjoy very complex, immersive games, if you’re willing to overlook numerous bugs and glitches and don’t mind a bland story – Medieval Dynasty is for you. Even though the constant backtracking might be a pain, I personally found the game’s slow pace relaxing rather than annoying and enjoyed my time with it. Plus there are a lot of options that let you simplify the experience and lower the difficulty level, so you don’t need to be a hardcore survival games fan to have fun with Medieval Dynasty.

    Medieval Dynasty feels unfinished in many ways. Yes, it looks amazing and does a great job bringing the middle ages to life. The negatives overshadow the positives, however. The story is missing synchronization and traveling the vast distances between villages is exhausting because of missing fast travel points. There are many more things that really frustrated us. If you are not in for the interesting setting, there’s really not that much here to have fun with.

After an actually very sad start, you experience as a player your very own development bit by bit, you learn new skills, build up your life and find friends. And all this set in a beautiful environment. For me, Medieval Dynasty is clearly an absolute insider tip for the year 2021!… Expand

I’m having more fun with it than I should, because I've been lacking sleep for the last couple of weeks, haha! There is no other game like this one, currently on the market. There are survival and RPG aspects of it, but the main focus is on the city building and then managing your village – that’s really awesome! The medieval setting is beautiful, I find myself often just walking around and immersing myself in. The little bonus in terms of a story was a nice surprise, I didn’t think I would become so engaged in it. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone! With the price so low it’s a no-brainer buy.… Expand

How can I say how much I love this game? I've passed at least 280 hours only on early access. First of all, the aspect I love the most about this game is that you're in no hurry. You can do whatever you want at your pace. Building a village is so pleasant, can't wait for deco and windmill.… Expand

    The game really promises great potential. But a walking simulation, you want to buy a horse? When you learn how to get it, you will quit the game.

I wasIt could be interesting but it is a long dull grind with limited interactions and no polish. MUCH better survival games out there. I was expecting some real fun here, I love base building but this is largely boring. There is a real load of 'meh' games going on for 2022 and 2023 so far. It's been disappointment after disappointment. I gave this a go hoping for something more but nope. Dull and duller.… Expand

    horrible. its a great idea in a pretty setting but awfully executed, zero point    … Expand
