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

    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.

    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 isn’t meant to be rushed, rather, to be an experience and a personal challenge for those that want to see how long they can rule and keep the peace within their kingdom. While there are still clearly some stark improvements that can be made, I think that Medieval Dynasty succeeded in bringing something new to an already saturated and stale genre, and can be a lasting favorite, as long as they continue to make improvements and provide updates.

    Medieval Dynasty is far from perfect, but it's captivating and intriguing in its own and peculiar way.

    An interesting mix of different mechanics that quickly becomes somehow boring in its micro-management antics.

    Render Cube studio has prepared a very pleasant and relaxing game. Medieval Dynasty is like a distant cousin of Animal Crossing - an FPP game on a budget, without multiplayer, but available on PC. It's worth playing once version 1.0 debuts. If you're new to this game and genre, I assure you - it is a survival like no other.

    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.

    The sales price is just to high for this low thought game.
    Could this game be great yes. But at this moment nope and the devs of this game    The sales price is just to high for this low thought game.
    Could this game be great yes. But at this moment nope and the devs of this game said nope. There will be no sand castles to build in this sandbox and they dont support mods being used for there empty boring game. Like there are many fun boring games out there. But this game is like tedious boring.
    This game is so tedious its not talked about and it is not fun. I would be more of a fan of this tedious if like the long game i got to collect stone to build castles or a castle. But he only thing you can build are palasades and fences. What a barbaric era and not medivel. Cant i make pesants where armor and be town guard.
    If this game was more like a medivel sandbox where you build a village and city with castles. Craft Armor and swords to defend from bandits. If you could build villages and citys and castles all over the sandbox this game would of been and 10 for me no doubt.
    Gametrend lied and so did Pc invasion they get paid for this and i dont.
    This game does not deserve praise and shouldnt be bought unless its on sale for $20 or less.    … Full Review »

    1)If the main feature of your game is building and crafting you should be better and more logical on this properties. For example at beginning1)If the main feature of your game is building and crafting you should be better and more logical on this properties. For example at beginning i can build an entire house and warehouse but i can't make a simple bow. Another simple example: i need 4 stones for stone ax and i need 8 stones for huge stone wall. If stone ax is made from 4 stone stone wall should be made from 100 stone or if stone wall is 10 stones, stone axe should be 1 stone. I hope you understand me.

    2)You need better optimization for this graphics or better graphics for this hardware power.

    3)Running for hours between villages with constantly running out stamina for oblivion like npcs who don't even have voice it's so much boring you have to add a horse to begining of game. Our man can be run with horse from war at the begining story for example.

    4Add enemies in game and a few monsters in later times. This will be so good for game because there is no any fear or threat elements in game and this makes the game little bit boring and purposeless. You can see so many people say it is being pointless playing after a few days because there is no any purpose in game.

    5)You need cutscenes, story, special animations for characters, characters voices for this price because it is not early access anymore i mean you don't have any of this even characters don't have sound but you are selling with same price rdr2 or ac valhalla.    … Full Review »

    Very shoddy game. This isn't 1.0, it's barely even in beta state. They have a button for getting stuck right in the menu and every NPC's canVery shoddy game. This isn't 1.0, it's barely even in beta state. They have a button for getting stuck right in the menu and every NPC's can be asked to "move" which is pretty much a clue to it's state, but even that isn't enough - NPC's will gladly get stuck or body block doors preventing you from both talking to them and exiting the building.

    Building your village is a tedious chore - you have to click 10-20 times on each wall and roof piece, then click even more to upgrade them. You need insane amount of resources for just one house but can barely carry enough which means you are going to run back and forth to storage or woods. Farming, handcrafting hammers and picks, transporting resources at the beginning - everything is a chore. There aren't even beautiful locations like in Subnautica to motivate and distract you from this tedium.

    Horses do not unlock until later, which means you have to travel on foot everywhere which takes forever, meanwhile you need to drink and eat like a hungry mule non-stop. Days are WAY too short, and it feels like default 3 days per season isn't enough to do anything, but then when you unlock most buildings and expand your village after a few years - you are left with nothing to do expect waiting for your child to grow up. On top of that game keeps randomly teleporting you each season to the closest village for no reason. There are also crashes.

    No one has any voice lines, quests are very boring, tutorial is lacking. Animal AI is insane and hunting is plain dumb - either you need an upgraded bow with poison arrows, or you will be forced to run around in circles chasing them.

    There are elements for a game in this, but they do not come together well enough to provide you any fun. At best, you will be motivated to build your village, but sooner rather than later you will get bored running back and forth to the same locations, constantly exhausting your stamina, talking to the same NPC's, waiting a season, then needing to run back to them again... and again... and again.

    The main point is - it's just not fun.    … Full Review »
