About the story
In the world of Going Medieval, dark age society is on its knees. At the end of the 14th century, 95% of the global population has perished due to rampant plague. Eventually, survivors emerge from society’s ashes, and it’s now up to you to help them settle in a dangerous new land reclaimed by nature. Build your people a home, help shape their lives, and protect them from animals, bandits, and other dangers in a lawless post-calamity age. Design, build and expand your settlement from a small wooden hut into a colossal stone castle. With simple-to-use 3D terrain tools you can create the perfect stronghold, from winding underground caverns to sprawling multi-story forts. This harsh new world is rife with external threats, but you can give your colonists the upper hand in battle by building impenetrable defences and traps. Research, craft and equip weapons and gear so that they can fight back against unrelenting waves of attackers. Your colonists have more than just raids to contend with. They need protection from starvation and the elements, so it’s essential to stock up on supplies and build shelter to keep them fed and warm. Maintain your villagers’ emotional states, as their moods are affected if their needs and wants aren’t met. Grow the population of your settlement by helping out strangers in dangerous situations, or by taking in like-minded travellers. Your villagers have personal histories and agendas, and you can get to know them by observing their behaviour and relationships with others.

Critic Reviews
There's already a lot to like, and if future updates are well handled, Going Medieval could easily become one of the best Colony Simulators out there. The survival aspects are both realistic and fun, as are the construction and resource management portions of the game.
Hyper complete, both in the management and in the exploration of type STR 4X, and even in the RPG of survival, the developer tried to think of everything and it is successful. Maybe a little too complete besides for players who do not like to think too much when they play. But for others, it's pure happiness. If you enjoy the medieval, stop playing Valheim, play Going Medieval. It's not necessarily prettier but it's much more addictive.
Going Medieval is a great building game inspired by RimWorld. The title may be in the very early stages of early access, but it still manages to offer a lot of fun for a few hours. You have several options here to build your colony and make it as big a kingdom as possible. If Foxy Voxel manages to implement all the promised elements into the game, it could make for a great building game. Going Medieval can be purchased on Steam for €22.99.
