Feudalism

Feudalism is a side-view strategy RPG about building an army from nothing. You start with a single fighter and a corner of the map, and everything after that is earned: soldiers hired in the towns you take, weapons and armour pulled off defeated enemies, and territory won one battle at a time.

Unlike a pure strategy game, you don't watch from above — you fight alongside your troops, and your own character levels up with them. Line up your squad, pick your moment, and wade in.

What you'll be doing

• Pick a nation and push out from your home province
• Recruit and equip a warband from captured towns
• Trade for better weapons, armour and supplies
• Fight in real time alongside your own soldiers
