The verdict
A medieval Rust-like sandbox with castle building, kings, taxes and capturing players, but it's abandoned, nearly empty and hacker-ridden. Skip it unless you have friends and a private server.
Great for
Friend groups wanting goofy medieval roleplay and PvP on a private or community server, bought on deep sale
Main risk
The game is abandoned and servers are nearly empty, so you may find nobody to play with
What players love
King, taxes and capture system
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“The King - one person in the server can be a king by claiming the throne - they can be overthrown of course.”
