Spent the past week with this new medieval strategy city building game… and I’ve had a real good time. Loving the game so far, looking forward to playing more.
Glad you are enjoying the early access. There has been a lot of love and effort put into every piece of the game. I am working on the animations down to facial expressions trying to bring some soul to the inhabitants
I don’t know if you are actually the dev but I really like some of the voice lines that they have especially in the market like you say it gives the game some soul, would love to see where the relationship system goes with like the letters.
Can't believe I missed that feature after all this time, I don't recall seeing anything about it in the tutorial. Thanks for the heads up, it's very cool!
Force you can actually walk around as a Manor Lord if you click the eye icon on your portrait in top right. At least that's how it was in the demo, give it a shot!
With regards to the family stuff, not sure what the time speed is but I think it would be really cool to have family attributes assigned over time depending on how much time the family is assigned to a certain job. Then after a certain amount of time, having that a permanent attribute carry through the family line or something, creating a "family lineage" of sorts.
Wow, I didn't even know about this game until this video came across my feed and now I think I'll buy it. This seems like the exact cozy game that I need and it's even better that it's done with a medieval premise.
This game looks really cool and I'm definitely interest but I also said the same thing about Medieval Dynasty and let's just say there's good reason why the number 1 most downloaded mod for that game is a literal spreadsheet.
Honestly a great sign they let people review it a full two weeks before release. A lot of publishers these days will place tough restrictions on reviews near launch!
Would love a mechanic where you could take your host out of bounds into a new area controlled by a different lord and raid/sack settlements to take their regional wealth and bring it to one of your settlements. Could even create an army supplies system where you can take supply carts into the enemy territory, and that can act as a timer for how long you can stay in hostile lands.
This reminds me of an upgraded Stronghold 2. The cool thing about Stronghold was you could actually control the King. Life is Feudal-Forest Village stepped that up, and let you control residents in 1st person. Really enjoyed having the ability to do that.
I loved the demo I played it had so much potential, I'm so glad is finally coming out, and kudos to the dev to be doing the majority of the game solo, and congrats for getting microsoft to publish it... I cannot wait for the 26th, for now I'll play some Furthest Frontier
Thank you for your review. This looks great, has super detail and immersion, but...I already have two jobs. This is a time sink, arguably a fun one, but I have no time to sink into it. I wish everyone well in their enjoyment! 😎
It's finally coming. I got into this cus of the battle stuff. Some other youtubers I watched from like total war were all showing the combat depth. Total War gone down abit and stronghold hasn't made a game in years. Aoe hasn't been amazing since 2 to be honest so this is needed
Not many games make you time travel in real life , I've played a handful of them right now it's Vintage Story and it's one that I've played the longest with out getting burnt out it's a sign of a well built game . I haven't played a city builder sens I was a kid and this looks like one I need to try.
I played the beta and was looking forward to it coming out. It sounds like you enjoyed it. It will likely be the next game i purchase after I'm done with Dragon's Dogma 2.
This sounds more and more like Farthest Frontier, which is another medieval city builder in early access. Ngl that's a good thing though, as Farthest Frontier is so much fun. Really looking forward to try Manor Lords:)
The only thing I wish the game had is an organic pathing system. As in the paths that people travel gets turned into a footpath organically just via the foot traffic stomping out the grass instead of you just placing down a pre-planned path.
@@vknight7497 I played both of them but none of them I enjoyed as I enjoyed Zeus.. Man when those gods arrived in my city I felt so thrilled ..and when the events like heroes killing the monsters .it was a different kind of excitement
So far I like what I've seen of this game. Some more customization for the villager NPCs would be nice and personality. A bit more SIMS mixed in, like the families actually having babies and growing into other families as time passes. Marriages among the families, disputes, being able to befriend or antagonize opposing towns/cities/kingdoms, their leaders having a personality that could dictate friend or foe, etc. If things like that co-existed with what I've seen this game do thus far it would blow my mind.
Played a lot of the Total War series especially Rome Total War, played Medieval War 1, 2 and some others. Played Stronghold 1,2, 3 and some others. So like this type of game and am very excited. Also the graphics in Manor Lord is amazing. Edit: how did I forget to mention Rise of Nations, that's a masterpiece.
well sorry to say but this game is mostly like the settlers series its honestly almost a 1 to 1 game that and anno its very much not like those you mention except its medieval
Hello, force gaming, I want to say that I enjoy videos and your detailed analysis of these games. I have recently saved up enough money to get myself a gaming PC. I want to get into the "MMORPG" Genre but dont know which one to play and invest money + time into, any good recommendations, and what game are you currently maining at? Thank you 💜
This seems like a game I'd enjoy a lot, and really looks like it's been made with love and proper attention to detail. So.... I won't be playing it, ahahah. I'd struggle to keep my irl things sorted!
The game does look good, but god damnit its yet another early-access game. I get it why developers utilize the early-access, but I'm sick and tired of having to wait 1-3 years for full release every time a new game pops up. 😮💨 And some games never even graduates from the early-access. ( I'm looking at you Valheim ! )

how crazy is it that people are more hype for games like this than many AAA games
AAA games are busy securing lones from ESG & DEI and B.R.I.D.G.E. social engineering funds
because most AAA games are failures
It isn't crazy at all bc indie >AAA has been the status quo for the industry for about 4+ years. Where have you been?
@@brandondeakins564 Bet he was there all along.
u mean 40yo boomers yes.
This is my most anticipated game for the last 2 years. Literally CANNOT wait to try it
Well, you literally can and literally will wait…
@@NicholasAdamDemonte isnt it goin early access on a couple of weeks?
This and Falling Frontier.
Game sucks wish i could refund. Over hyped
This sounds straight up like a "Banished but with combat". I LOVE IT. Definitely looking forward to playing it.
Thinking the same thing, Banished is really fun even without the combat.
Yeah but with the option to turn off combat if you just wanna build and chill.
The lack of combat is why i did not buy Banished. I have plenty of non-combat city/settlement/colony builders. This is too tempting.
This is banished, total war and cities skylines all in one, basically.
@@renealbrechtsen9743 yep, and that sounds like the best thing ever
This game is on my steam wishlist since September 2020. So happy its turning out to be as good as I had hoped
Next time you play, press the eye icon near your portrait and you will be surprised and get even more immersed.
Can't believe I missed that feature after all this time, I don't recall seeing anything about it in the tutorial. Thanks for the heads up, it's very cool!
What does it do?
@@hegemon3 You can control your lord in third person and take a stroll around your town. You can't interact with anything but it feels nice.
Force you can actually walk around as a Manor Lord if you click the eye icon on your portrait in top right. At least that's how it was in the demo, give it a shot!

That's a great idea
@@tonechild5929 yea until some families start disappearing into the forest with the good looking live stock
Family craft or trade buff, makes sense.
There are no dynasty mechanics or family.
Really impressed with the depth from what I can see, and the zoom in level. Looking forward to it!
I've spend way too many hours in Banished and Farthest Frontier and ready again to sacrifice all of it for this one.. Bring on the immersion!
Gosh I'm early. If you're reading this I hope your pillow stays cold homies
Man this is like the best thing you could wish for someone, thanks friend
❤
Ah. Gotta return the favor. Hope yours is cold too
What a kind thing to say! May you never get kidney stones.
@@michaelnapper4565what a nice thing to say! I have kidney stones I hope no one gets cancer ♋!
Those close up shoots look so cool ! Cant wait to try it
Smart pause is something devs underestimate. A huge quality of life improvement in any game.
Best demo I ever played -- and that was a while ago. I was wondering earlier this year where this was, so glad I can play it again soon.
1:07 Oh lord, I can't believe I actually see your big smile after all these years reviewing games!
Bit weird mate.
@@mdc3227sounds like a google translate issue to me…

Hey man, I really appreciate your content. I always enjoy your uploads.

I've had this on my wish list for a while. Excited to finally be able to play it soon!

I love the little details, that is why I loved Settlers.
Thank you for covering the game!

So good to see Kingdoms and Castles finally getting a graphics overhaul.
amazing world with this early review. I really love this game, waiting for this.
The little details in this game are what make it so great.
I've been waiting for this game since I tried the demo!
I loved the demo I played it had so much potential, I'm so glad is finally coming out, and kudos to the dev to be doing the majority of the game solo, and congrats for getting microsoft to publish it... I cannot wait for the 26th, for now I'll play some Furthest Frontier
It's more realistic-looking than Farthest Frontier, but apart from the regions, it doesn't offer much depth (yet).
Thanks for reviewing something that is a bit different for this channel. I might give the game a try though I enjoyed watching your review, thank you!
Instantly joined the discord and am now tapping my feet in impatience to play. Thanks Force!
Definitely hope you make some more videos on this game I think it's going to be amazing
Congrats on 1 Millions Subs❤️
Its looking super fun. I hope they add massive maps and tons of content. Looks promising.
Thank you for your review. This looks great, has super detail and immersion, but...I already have two jobs. This is a time sink, arguably a fun one, but I have no time to sink into it. I wish everyone well in their enjoyment! 😎
I hope you receive a quality of life upgrade soon. 🙏

God damn I've been looking forward to this so much it's almost torture to watch people play it so long before it comes out...
This was straight up a great review!
I remember playing demo few years ago for Manor Lords.. my most anticipated game with Age of Mythology retold.
I played the beta and was looking forward to it coming out. It sounds like you enjoyed it. It will likely be the next game i purchase after I'm done with Dragon's Dogma 2.
I'm really in the mood for this genre. Definitely buying close to release as long as the launch isn't bad.
Hahaha love that you chose the name Stark! So appropriate :) left a like.
added this since 2021 on steam as a wishlist now it will be release! very nice!
This sounds more and more like Farthest Frontier, which is another medieval city builder in early access. Ngl that's a good thing though, as Farthest Frontier is so much fun. Really looking forward to try Manor Lords:)
This game has tremendous depth, great to see thou.

"it has been scarily easily easy to just piss away an entire day playing this game"
Fuck,
im so god damn excited to piss away so many days
Holy, this feels so much like the old Zeus/Poseidon game from Impression back in 2000.
I'm very much looking forward to this.
i wish it is..because zeus is one of my favorite games in my life :)
@@md.mamunurrashid7894 yo me too.
Emperor is still my favourite city builder
Caesar 3 was my jam. Pharaoh was good too.
@@vknight7497 I played both of them but none of them I enjoyed as I enjoyed Zeus.. Man when those gods arrived in my city I felt so thrilled ..and when the events like heroes killing the monsters .it was a different kind of excitement
The aesthetics look really good on this game.
My amount of excitement is insane right now
Its basically Lords of the Realm with better graphics, which is perfectly fine.
Oh my, it's been a while since i played these games. Still have the discs.
Lord of the Realm wow that’s a trip down memory lane
The tech put into this game is very cool.
giving me Nights And Merchants vibes. Liking what i see
Really excited about this one.
You talk about immersion and zooming in, but you didn't click the eye 👁🗨 next to your lord top right. Now that's immersion!
Damn give me this in a fantasy setting and i am all in.
I hope the Kingdom Come sequel allows us to build like this but with first person of course.
So far I like what I've seen of this game. Some more customization for the villager NPCs would be nice and personality. A bit more SIMS mixed in, like the families actually having babies and growing into other families as time passes.

I Cannot Wait for this game to come out!!!
an expanded version of Banished? Nice I really enjoyed Banished, gonna check this out
Can't wait for this !!
I’m old enough to remember the first Populus. Then the Black and White games.
Good times, looking forward to this one.
Broooo, Black and White! Where did you remember that?! So good!
This feels like RTS but also Colony management which is great. Reminds me of Bannerlord as well.
Played a lot of the Total War series especially Rome Total War, played Medieval War 1, 2 and some others. Played Stronghold 1,2, 3 and some others. So like this type of game and am very excited. Also the graphics in Manor Lord is amazing. Edit: how did I forget to mention Rise of Nations, that's a masterpiece.
well sorry to say but this game is mostly like the settlers series its honestly almost a 1 to 1 game that and anno its very much not like those you mention except its medieval
This game looks amazing. I’ve been waiting for something to top farthest frontier.
love it! I'm playing Farthest Frontier until this is released.
my brother and i have been doing the same
Farthest Frontier is the best
Crate Entertainment ftw
Very much like Furthest Frontier, cant wait
Manor Lords is literally what I hoped Life Is Feudal: Forest Village would be. Also the dev is great.
Im excited for this game and broken arrow
I always slowly fall off with games like this, curious if the combat addition changes that. Looks really cool though!
I was on the fence about this game but what you have shown makes me want to play it :)
This game is so impressive, even more so when you realize it's been created by just a single person.
this game looks amazing
Probably going to wait a good while before I buy it. Maybe even wait for 1.0, but it already does look very promising.
Hyped for this one ❤
Oh damn I already know I’m gonna lose weeks of my life to this game! Right up my alley
I just wish the landscape wasnt so boring. Needs swamps, coast, streams, lakes, rivers, hills, and mountains.
Sooo, do we get to watch how the families grow? 🙃
Honestly it reminds me of rimworld... Looks great!

Never heard of this game, looks pretty good.
Didn't know Coffeezilla was into Strategy games
Gives me some Majesty vibes.
looking forward to this game
this feels like next gen city sim game
This seems like a game I'd enjoy a lot, and really looks like it's been made with love and proper attention to detail. So.... I won't be playing it, ahahah. I'd struggle to keep my irl things sorted!
This is basically Banished on Crack, also developed by one single guy. Can't wait to play this!
'Settlements Rising' has a demo and is similar to this game, lower-budget, but still good.
Man I miss good RTS games
Force If you haven’t played unicorn overloads, you must. Don’t look at the graphics and get put off. Trust me try it..
Finally some seriously good games and not online crap :D
finally a game when i take a break playing Mount and Blade 2
It looks great
You just sold this game to me in the first 5 minutes.
