Lords and Villeins

9个小时刚刚摸完教程，先给这个破教程打个差评，属实是一言难尽 1.教程里的提示黄框有一部分是完全错误的，经常让你去统治者家族里找教会的东西，这个黄框还动不动玩消失，还经常在你找被稀烂的UI藏起来的地方玩消失。 2.有的任务让你收获春夏的作物，要是前面打的慢或者挂机干别的拖到秋季了就直接要等到下一年，点名收获啤酒花的任务，那个任务没解锁土壤肥沃度界面，你要是恰好种在肥沃度不高的地方啤酒花长的巨慢，从夏天中长到秋季都没长好，然后当场就死啦！ 3.上面那点的时间浪费还可以说操作慢了，任务里让你等订单交付的先不提，有个任务让你凭空掏出俩僧侣出来，我靠作者你知不知道你的僧侣要从学徒开始慢慢完成阅读学习、写字学习、奉献三个部分才能转正啊 4.一些关键任务资源时不时玩消失，倒数第二关那个挂两幅画，我开了三把两把开局没自带画一把开局自带画，你问我为啥开三局，他妈这游戏的东西拆了就进亚空间了，第一局不小心拆了两幅画资源直接消失 5.同样的还有一关要求你做个宝座，我靠那玩意要宝石啊，你开局又不给，你知不知道你那工匠磨宝石和画画慢的要死 6.最后一关应该是要其他教程全打勾才能玩，实际上你在倒数第二关打完点下一关就能直接进去…… 7.洋洋洒洒10几关教程，游戏内容是不是很丰富？丰不丰富先不谈，教程大半就是把每种区域给你画出来介绍一下，很多区域其实压根没啥特殊设置，但就是要你做一个，另一大半就是在稀烂的ui设计搞ui大发现，配合提示bug导致这部分体验稀烂

Mixed feelings on this one. I think I can see the game it WANTS to be, and I would love to play that game, but unfortunately that is not the game that actually exists. Lords and Villeins has some fun ideas bogged down by intricate yet frustrating gameplay, dependence on NPC-automation-flavor-AI, and a surprising amount of granular details that fight for dominance in the player's eye. There are over a dozen tutorial stages and even the first few can quickly get overwhelming (this may be separate from a core game design issue, it may be that whoever plotted the tutorials simply did not know how to create a good tutorial flow). On top of that, for reasons beyond my understanding, the game has an absolutely abominable loading time, so it can take several minutes to wait for the next tutorial to even load in - and it never loads in paused, so there's that (it also doesn't pause when the new tutorial element pops up in your face). There's a lot of things the game tries to stress are important to you, but you're ultimately at the mercy of the NPCs' programming [i]letting[/i] you actually accomplish that. It has potential, but is definitely clunky.

Lords and Villeins, developed by Honestly Games and published by Fulqrum Publishing, is a medieval colony simulator that distinguishes itself by shifting the player’s role away from hands-on micromanagement and into that of a governing lord overseeing a living, self-regulating society. Rather than directly controlling individual workers or dictating every task, the game focuses on managing families, allocating land, and shaping the economic structure of a growing settlement. This design choice immediately sets it apart from more traditional city-builders, offering a more systemic and indirect form of control that feels both refreshing and, at times, demanding. At the heart of the experience is its family-based system. Each family operates as an independent unit, responsible for producing goods, managing resources, and sustaining themselves. Instead of assigning individual jobs, you define zones of land and allow families to develop their own livelihoods within those spaces. This creates a dynamic economy where goods are produced, traded, and consumed organically. The player’s influence comes through taxation, land distribution, and long-term planning rather than direct intervention. It’s a compelling concept that adds depth and realism, as the settlement begins to feel less like a machine and more like a functioning community with its own internal logic. This economic simulation is where the game truly shines, but it is also where it becomes most challenging. Understanding how resources flow between families, how markets stabilize or collapse, and how to balance production chains requires patience and careful observation. The game does provide tutorials, but much of its complexity is learned through experience, and early mistakes can have lasting consequences. This steep learning curve can be intimidating, especially for players unfamiliar with system-heavy management games. However, for those willing to invest the time, the payoff is a deeply satisfying sense of mastery as the various systems begin to align. Progression is driven by gradual expansion and optimization. Starting with a small settlement, players introduce new families, unlock additional industries, and develop increasingly complex production networks. Over time, the village grows into a bustling town, with specialized roles and interdependent systems that require constant attention. This growth feels rewarding, particularly as the visual transformation of the settlement reflects your decisions. However, as the scale increases, so does the complexity, and managing multiple layers of production and trade can become overwhelming. Visually, the game adopts a pixel-art style that complements its medieval setting. The environments are vibrant and detailed, with seasonal changes adding variety and atmosphere. Watching your settlement evolve—from a few simple homes to a thriving community—is one of the game’s more satisfying aspects. The aesthetic is not cutting-edge, but it is cohesive and effective, giving the game a distinct identity while remaining easy to read during gameplay. One of the more engaging elements of Lords and Villeins is its emergent storytelling. Because families operate semi-independently, unexpected situations can arise naturally—economic shortages, struggling households, or sudden imbalances in production. These moments create a sense of narrative that is unique to each playthrough, as players respond to challenges and adapt their strategies. However, this system can also feel opaque, as it is not always clear why certain problems occur or how best to resolve them. This lack of clarity can lead to frustration, particularly when the consequences of earlier decisions become difficult to reverse. The interface and overall usability are areas where the game shows some weakness. As the settlement grows, the amount of information that needs to be tracked increases significantly, and the interface can feel cluttered or unintuitive. Important details are not always easy to access, and navigating menus can slow down the pace of play. Combined with occasional inconsistencies in AI behavior, this can make managing larger settlements more cumbersome than it needs to be. Pacing is another aspect that may divide players. The game unfolds slowly, emphasizing long-term planning and gradual development rather than immediate results. This deliberate pace can be rewarding for those who enjoy methodical gameplay, but it may feel sluggish for players looking for quicker feedback or more direct control. There are moments where progress stalls, particularly when dealing with economic imbalances, and these periods can test patience. Despite its challenges, Lords and Villeins offers a unique and thoughtful take on the city-building genre. Its focus on economic systems and family dynamics creates an experience that feels more organic and less mechanical than many of its peers. While it may not be the most accessible game, it rewards persistence with a level of depth and complexity that is rarely seen in similar titles. In the end, Lords and Villeins is a game that prioritizes systems over simplicity, offering a rich and layered simulation for players willing to engage with its mechanics. It is not without its flaws—particularly in terms of interface design and clarity—but its innovative approach and strong sense of identity make it a standout within its niche. For players who enjoy deep management simulations and are willing to embrace a slower, more deliberate pace, it provides a rewarding and memorable experience. Rating: 7/10

Огромная, огроооооомная игра. Кто готов отдать 100 часов пустоту, ну вдруг она принесет вам радость, удачи, все на скринах.

Gran juego, muy viciado, el problema es el lenguaje, lamentablemente no esta en español... pero hay un mod en linea, donde agrega el idioma en la barra de seleccion de idiomas, el cual considero mejor que el de auto traducción. Una vez esta en español, 10/10 papu vicio.

eu gosto

Your game if very enlighten for me!

Economy system makes it different and interesting

Глубокая игра. Проходишь обучалки и затягивает. Достаточно просто и интересно.
