A peaceful city builder set during Medieval times. In City Tales: Medieval Era we can become a ruler of our own kingdom. All of the structures in the game are procedurally generated, allowing for each building to have a unique look. The game puts a bigger emphasis on narration.

Gameplay
Engine and graphics

City Tales: Medieval Era is an independent city builder game, marking the debut of the French studio Irregular Shapes. The game is characterized by the ability to freely shape districts using an urban planning tool.

Gameplay

In the game, we take on the role of a medieval ruler directing the development of the kingdom. Therefore, we are engaged in collecting resources, building houses and cultivating the land. The more attractive districts there are, the more newcomers will show up. This also means an increase in demand for basic goods and amenities. Apart from founding temples and organizing fairs, we provide people with entertainment.

City Tales: Medieval Era abandons the typical grid-based mechanics of strategy games in favor of a "freehand" building system. We have freedom in the shape or size of our settlement and the residents adapt the styles of their homes and shops to hand-drawn contours. Every structure is built procedurally, creating a unique appearance for each building and city.

The game emphasizes narration, driven by special characters with defined roles. A small support staff must be assigned to each initial project, and sometimes they will make various requests. Over time, the companions unlock bonuses and train future citizens.
