Free to play
Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 4 h ago
A free, slow-paced fantasy MMORTS mixing Stronghold-style city building with Total War-style sieges. It's now buggy, abandoned and nearly empty of players, so skip it if you want PvP or polish.
Great for
Fans of Stronghold and Total War who want a free, slow, solo-friendly fantasy city builder with sieges
Main risk
Abandoned, bug-ridden game with a near-dead player base, crashes and lost progress
