Going Medieval is what I can only describe as the ultimate town castle management simulator. You will start with basically nothing, and if you play your cards right, you will end up with a fully functional medieval city and castle. Huge shout-out to Mythwright for setting me up with a copy of this one as it enters 1.0.
Now I have told you what the game is, let me tell you what the game isn’t. This isn’t a game for someone who just wants to hop in and build a simple village and ignore all the options to customize their playthrough. There are enough options that I have not messed with them all. There are things like how many villagers you start with, the season you start in, how often you get attacked, and much more. Going Medieval did not skimp out on these options.
Building a city also has its own challenges because each of the four seasons has its own challenges. For example, any resources not under a roof will spoil faster. In the summer, this happens even faster, even if they are under a roof. There is a simple fix for this; you can just put them underground with any number of buildings. See, you can build or do things very easily with layers. Don’t worry, the game has a very well-done tutorial explaining all of this.
Graphically, the game is cute, I wouldn’t call it, pun intended, game-changing. I enjoy them and find the music relaxing, but people who think graphics are the most important aspect of a game may find it disappointing. The game, however, functions extremely well. This brings me to my biggest warning about this game. This is very much a game where, if you pay attention to your villagers ( they come with little stories) and allow yourself to exist within your little world, take the time to learn the game, you will have a lot of fun. But if you simply want to quickly build a castle, you will be disappointed. If you don’t plan your food right, make sure you have defenses you will lose your village. But seeing them start to strive after struggling is a true joy. Small bugs aside, this is a 7/10 experience. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
