The gameplay of "Manor Lords" is characterized by its blend of city-building and real-time strategy mechanics, offering a unique experience that emphasizes historical accuracy and immersive world-building. While many players appreciate the depth and complexity of the mechanics, they also note significant issues such as bugs, unbalanced gameplay, and a lack of clear tutorials, which can make the experience frustrating, especially for newcomers. Overall, the game shows great potential but is still in early access, requiring further development and refinement to fully realize its ambitious vision.
“The gameplay is simple but full of depth, and the combat system is pretty neat.”
“Great relaxing game that makes 6 hours of gameplay feel like 30 minutes.”
“The gameplay is fun, I had to try a few game saves first before I managed to survive a raider attack, but once you learn which resources work best in different landscapes (for example trading goods instead of farming on poor land) you can progress.”
“Worse, the reason I'm rating this negatively and also the reason I'm rating this 8 months after playing, is it doesn't look like it's ever going to deliver this gameplay.”
“However, there are so many bugs affecting the core mechanics that it is not playable in the long run.”
“The game has so much potential, but as it stands, I get screwed over and over by mechanics that I don't understand, and that the game doesn't explain.”
