Medieval Dynasty

Medieval Dynasty is an action RPG life simulator with elements of survival and strategy developed by Polish studio Render Cube. This is the second production of the team from Lodz and completely different from its debut project: Monster League go-kart racing game from 2018. This time the Poles created a realistic production set in the Middle Ages, reminiscent of the Czech Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The game is also another part of the Dynasty cycle of Toplitz Productions, although clearly different from its predecessors.

Plot

The protagonist is an eighteen-year-old peasant who, after the death of his parents, leaves his family home to find a job and enter adulthood. He counts on help from an experienced uncle, but it turns out that the relative has been dead for some time. Thanks to the help of a local castellan, the young man receives a piece of land and decides to take care of his future on his own, with an ambitious plan to establish his own settlement and gain a reputation in the area. In the process, she will also learn about her uncle's mysterious past.

Mechanics

The gameplay in Medieval Dynasty bring to mind the Kingdom Come Deliverance of the Czech Warhorse studio. The action is observed from the first person perspective (TPP), and the gameplay focuses on exploring the open world of the game. In it we can find NPCs who can give us various tasks, but also hostile bandits and wild animals. The beginning resembles typical survival games: we try to take care of the hero's basic needs by providing him with water and food, hunting and farming. It's also important to gather basic materials and build Racimir a simple house. Over time, you'll gain access to more advanced resources, needed to upgrade the structure and create more durable tools.

The main goal of the game is to create your own village, and over time to transform it into a prosperous city. In the game you will find 18 types of buildings, which you will be able to develop as you unlock the next options from the hero's skill tree. The game is varied by numerous side quests and challengesas well as the possibility of starting your own dynasty of magnates.

This involves a special system of reputation, shown by the king's interest in our dynasty. In any case, our decisions have a significant impact on the gameplay. Moreover, as the village develops, we will have to take care of the economy, trade with neighbors and take care of the well-being of the subjects.

Technical aspects

The 3D graphics in Medieval Dynasty focuses on realism. The game world changes with our actions (the game allows for interaction with many objects, e.g. trees, stones, etc.), and the dynamic weather and seasons also have an impact on the game. Wild animals, not only faithfully reproduced, but also interacting with each other in the same way as their real counterparts do. The game is based on Unreal Engine 4, thanks to which the graphics are basically high level.
