Medieval Legacy

I REALLY want to like this game, as it scratches every itch I want from a medieval life sim, but this game needs some serious rebalancing. On EASY MODE, two infants died to "work related accidents." HOW?!? My poor couple FINALLY got a third child all the way through school and he had MAX STATS. He was dead at the age of 18 from bandits. The game did not take his stats into consideration AT ALL. It's ridiculous. I've stopped and started a bunch of saves, and none turned out well. Curses, stupid deaths, and random BS that just incites aggravation. I can understand droughts, limited resources, wars... but this BS is just designed to cause rage. If that appeals to you, you'll like this game. Just don't expect to make it past the first generation. And with no hot fixes or updates since November 2025, I doubt any of this will be addressed.

I'm addicted. This is the fastest I've every reviewed a game. 8 hours and counting! I don't normally play these sorts of games for long. But this one has held my attention and I've become invested in the world, my family members and their success! I started a winery and its been working out, as long as I have been able to keep the field operating. Between deaths, draughts, starvations, sickness and wars, I've been able to bounce back. Building a ladyship to be great! I have one ask of the devs? Can we see female protagonist, and LGBT content? My first wife died, I only have one living member of the family I started with. I've adopted several, welcomed more and my family has grown in the most interesting of ways. It apparent you don't need same sex coupling to make this work. My Ratings: Enjoyment -- 4/5 Replayability -- 5/5 Challenge -- 4/5 Design -- 3/5 - Up against other modern games it's a little low in graphic quality. UI -- 4/5 - Could you some work. I'd like to see what I'm automatically selling.

Amazing game, great fun. some things I would like to be added would be a family tree page to see how all of the family members are connected and to see if the main blood line still exists, also the capability of killing other rival families. I am sitting in a situation where I have 4 families at 1000 and the 5th at -1000. Also the ability to buy land from other families for an increased cost like say x5 what it normally would. And maybe an achievement for 10mil since I am at 6.5mil currently. Give it a play through buyers its fun!

I tried playing it for a bit, but the game just didn't catch on. Too repetitive, and just fairly boring.

really satisfying to just up grade your family however gets boring once you get a castle

5/22/25 Needs significant updates. Interesting core concept but every playthrough is the same despite start conditions.

it's kinda good but lack's depth... hard to explain, but it feels like those free games that ask for money, and in the end are just a grind?

Le jeu part sur une bonne idée, simple, qu'il exécute plutôt pas mal d'ailleurs. Le gros point noir, qui écrase toutes les qualités du jeu, est que ce dernier n'est absolument pas équilibré. C'était déjà le cas dans la démo, les gens s'en sont plaint, les devs n'ont pas écouté. C'est simple, le jeu va vous marteler la gueule constamment. Peu importe ta compétence pour gérer ta famille, le jeu s'assurera que tu ne puisses pas t'en sortir. Chaque truc positif qui t'arrives sera effacé par une brouette de trucs négatifs. Blessures et maladie constantes, perte d'argent totalement random, enlèvement en chaine par des bandits, attaque qui tuera tes persos... Le devs semblent détester le fun, je ne vois que ça comme explication. Chaque fois que t'aura la moindre satisfaction, le moindre fun dans le jeu, ce dernier viendra laver le sol avec ta tronche et te rappeller que t'es pas là pour t'amuser.

Sehr sehr gutes Spiel mit sehr vielen unterschiedlichen Herangehensweisen und Herausforderungen/Events. Dadurch ein hoher Wiederspielwert. Das einzige was ich bemängeln würde ist der harte Zufall. Bspw. kam in einem Spiel bereits im dritten Monat ein Bandit und nahm mein Familienoberhaupt gefangen zwecks Lösegeldzahlung. Nun hatte ich eine weitere Person verbleibend, die binnen weniger Monate das Lösegeld auftreiben und sich selbst über Wasser halten musste. Hier wären also gewisse Sperrfristen oder "Schutzzonen" hilfreich. Für den Preis aber definitiv zu empfehlen! Für Achievementhunter eher schlecht geeignet. Es gibt einige Achievs die massiv vom Zufall abhängen und je nach Spielstil dann sogar unmöglich sind. Dies gilt auch für "lerne alle Skills", denn zum einen sind hier konträre Skills (welche die zwingend positiven Ruf brauchen, und andere die negativen brauchen), sowie welche die einen ordentlichen grind bedeuten (bspw. 150 verletzungen, etc. durch events,)

FUN, can't wait to see where it goes, and I'm excited for the possible family tree. Please add murder and intrigue on par with CK2 and CK3.
