GamingBolt: 7 / 10 by Ravi Sinha

Manor Lords still requires time to develop, especially when building out several of its more intriguing features. Nevertheless, its emphasis on medieval city-building with dashes of combat can prove enjoyable.

Full Review

IGN: 7 / 10 by Leana Hafer

Manor Lords is a gorgeous medieval city-builder that kept me occupied for hours building my perfect, cozy hamlets, but it definitely feels very early in its Early Access development.

Full Review

Rectify Gaming: 9 / 10

Manor Lords stands as a shining example of the potential within indie game development that puts many triple A projects to shame. Keep in mind that it’s still in Early Access too, meaning the game will only get better from here on out. It’s an experience that respects its roots in history while providing a platform for strategic creativity. I’ve never been so immersed into a game about building cities and commanding troops, but being the lord of my manor allows me to weave my own stories of medieval life.

The main pros of the game

  • Graphics and Realism: The game features stunning graphics and realistic medieval environments, with attention to detail in village building and seasonal changes.
  • Complex City Management: Players appreciate the depth of city management, including resource production and the need for strategic planning.
  • Unique Building Mechanics: The gridless building system allows for more organic village layouts, enhancing the visual appeal and realism of the towns.
  • Engaging Gameplay: Many s find the game fun and engaging, with a good mix of city-building and tactical battles.
  • Active Development: s acknowledge the developer's commitment to improving the game, with frequent updates and a clear vision for future content.

The main cons of the game

  • Early Access Issues: Many s note that the game feels unfinished, with numerous bugs and incomplete features, leading to frustration.
  • Difficulty and Balance: The game can be overly challenging, especially in combat scenarios where players feel outmatched. Resource management can also feel unbalanced, leading to constant struggles for survival.
  • Limited Interactivity: There are complaints about the lack of meaningful interactions with NPCs and the limited scope of gameplay after initial expansion.
  • Lack of Content: Players express disappointment over the limited number of features available in the early access version, feeling like the game is more of a demo than a fully fleshed-out experience.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to s

  • Expanded Skill Trees and Technology: s want more options in the skill trees and wish for technologies to be shared across regions rather than being restricted to individual settlements.
  • Improved Trade System: suggests that the trade mechanics are unbalanced, with static prices that do not reflect realistic economic principles.
  • Better AI and NPC Interactions: Players desire more dynamic interactions with NPCs, including the introduction of more aggressive and interactive AI.
  • Enhanced Tutorials and Guidance: Many s find the learning curve steep and suggest that better tutorials and in-game guidance would improve the onboarding experience for new players.
  • Additional Game Modes and Scenarios: There's a call for more diverse game modes and scenarios, including PvE content and challenges that could enhance replayability.

Summary

  • Overall, while Manor Lords shows great potential and has a dedicated player base, it faces significant challenges related to its early access status, balancing, and content depth. Players are hopeful for future updates that will address these issues and expand the game's features.
