Going Medieval

A game with great love for detail and replay value. Much thought was given to QOL (copyable, very detailed settings for NPC equipment, storage etc). At times the level of micromanagement required can be annoying, and I wish some things were better explained in the almanach (how to install rugs, how the building stability mechanic works, how to improve room quality, how useful animals can be for hauling). Still, I had 66 hours of fun in my first playthrough. Many games try to give you a sandbox in which you can create your own narrative. This often fails for me, but here it works. Those little messages about people having had an awkward conversation about darning hose, the waves of grief and rebellion settlers go through after losing a loved one, feeling sad when your favourite cat, Sir Barksalot, dies... And then there is the depth of the system. You can play with the limited instructions in the almanach and succeed, but you can also still discover extra functions after 50+ hours that can make life a little easier. WIth different maps and difficulty settings and using your own imagination to dream up a unique design for your settlement, this game has longevity. (And I'll deinstall it for now to get my life back for a while.)

I've been hooked on Going Medieval for the past week. I wishlisted it when I first saw it because it looked like my favorite game, RimWorld. While it shares a lot of the same colony-sim DNA, Going Medieval succeeds by fully committing to the medieval setting. The vertical building system is fantastic. Building underground cellars, multi-story keeps, towers, barracks, and layered defenses adds something that even RimWorld doesn't have. It captures the feeling of building a medieval settlement in a way that few games do. My biggest complaints are quality-of-life related. Not being able to queue tasks for settlers, create blueprints and plans, rearrange work priorities more freely, or move production stations without losing queued orders makes colony management more tedious than it should be. These aren't game-breaking issues, but they feel like features that should already exist. RimWorld is still the better overall game because of its depth, content, and years of polish, but Going Medieval has a strong foundation, and I've had a hard time putting it down since buying it.

Хотя формально игра релизнулась, но иногда возникает чувство незавершенности Косметики не хватает, где-то пояснений к геймплею и тд Тут и механика с распределением температуры, отсюда брожение и гниение. Личные навыки персонажей, строительство с опорами, система с помещениями и уровнями их крутости, добыча ресурсов, таблица приоритетов работы и вообще полный кайф. Можно строить погреб! Но опять же, исследований как будто мало. Некоторые из них не очень балансные. Жалуются например, что создание картин занимает всё время персонажа. А их число в поселении ограничено. И он же должен ещё быть воинов, выполнять обязанности по дому и тд

The AIs are soo DUMD. You try and give them food but thry run right past single time and die its a good game but the AI in this game are soo soo soo DUMB!!! PS FIX IT

3d RIMWORLD! 9/10 amazing game.

While the maps and buildings and vegetation are beautiful... the game is rather boring. There are no real challenges. I played it with difficult settings, upped the percentage of enemies etc.... yawn. If you want to chill and build medieval castles, go for it. If you want a challenge... stick with Rimworld. The problems with Going Medieval are: The aggressive animals don't search for or attack your players unless they are really close. Wolves and bears roam the area, even into your castle, and don't attack anyone. The enemies are always as many as you have players which is dumb when you are inside a castle. Enemies don't attack according to your defenses but come in one by one and get slaughtered. They don't teamwork. If they have siege weapons they don't really use height advantages and don't make you come hunt for them. They just get way too close to you so they don't have an advantage using their siege weapon. They don't use shields to protect their bowmen who just stand in reach of your defense. So yea... nice idea but boring.

Ich habe 160 Stunden in diesem Spiel verbracht. Spass war für mich nur sehr wenig dabei. Musste mich selbst extrem anstrengen um Spass zu haben und selbst im Spiel enorm behindern um es für mich zu spielen. Bereue soviel Zeit investiert zu haben und immer wieder von vorne begonnen zu haben um dem Spiel noch eine Chance zu geben. Das alles nur für Design/Mechanik Entscheidungen die wahrscheinlich nicht Käufer getätigt haben. Ich habe nach Mods für meine Probleme gesucht aber die gab es nicht, vielleicht gebannt oder so, würde mich nicht wundern. Lasst mich mein SINGLE PLAYER Game Spielen wie ich möchte. Im Allgemeinen ist es sonst halbwegs gut Spielbar. Für ein kleines Studio ist es gut gemacht. Aber überall hat es kleine Bugs die einen auch ab und an sehr reizen können (Wegfindungen, wie Sidler ineffizient arbeiten usw.) Jemand der Mittelalter Games sucht würde ich es nicht empfehlen das wäre vergleichbar als ob es Aliens und Raumschiffe in diesem Spiel gäbe oder sonst unpassende Sachen.
