Manor Lords
Rating: 3.5/5
Developer: Slavic Magic Publisher: Hooded Horse
Platform: PC
Price: Rs 1,499

Manor Lords has a simple premise: You are the lord of a medieval town and must transform it from a tiny settlement into a bustling city. The game is still in early access, and that said, there are bugs and lots of updates that will happen as you play the game. The game is the brainchild of developer Slavic Magic, a one-person game studio by Greg Styczeń, and it took seven years to reach this point. The game is now being tested by people who have bought the game and the feedback is what is driving the current updates in Manor Lords.

Country life
Manor Lords really captures the essence of a medieval town with its beautiful fields and muddy dirt roads that get all puddly and wet when it rains. Livestock strutting along with the appropriately dressed townfolk. While most of the game is played in the top-down view, zooming in always shows you the amount of work that has gone into every little animation in the game. The seasons are also well-defined, and the map is transformed accordingly. The resources available also change according to season, especially where food is concerned.
