But at the same time, I wasn’t blown away by the game, either. In fact, I didn’t see a single other player in the game, which might be because nobody else is playing, or because the tutorial is a solo instance. I did not experience any PvP, griefing, or ganking. It seemed like a nice introduction to the game and the sandbox genre in general. There are NPCs in the town that direct you through the various activities of digging, cutting, gathering, and whatnot. You begin on a “tutorial” island (if you so choose) which walks you through the basics of gameplay. You start with nothing but rags and pumpernickel. The gameplay is exactly what you’d expect from this kind of sandbox MMO: You cut down trees to get lumber, you use the lumber to build things, etc., etc. Unretouched image showing all the glorious grays and blacks of the game's tutorial island. The beach where apparently all the Vikings wrecked. Presumably that was the aesthetic they were going for, though, since it’s meant to represent the Dark Ages, when history teaches us that sunlight and color didn’t exist. But the graphics are acceptable, if gray and dull and dingy. It looks surprisingly nice for an indie game.

It took a while for the launcher to download its stuff, because, as seems to be the norm for European-based developers, they chose to use torrent as their launcher download method, which always seems to take longer.Įventually I was able to launch the game. Presumably, the Steam installation is just for the launcher and maybe some components that are years old by now. The Life Is Feudal launcher then has to download the real game. Then, it turns out, there is another installation process after the Steam installation. Installing the game through Steam was fairly easy.

Finally they decided to do what is essentially a free trial. It’s been an Early Access game all this time (and still is), but it’s always been more than the amount I’m willing to pay for an Early Access game, which is $10. This is a game I’ve wanted to check out almost since the day I heard about it, which seems like five or ten or a hundred years ago now. Life Is Feudal, the MMO, as opposed to the other two games with the same name that are different, recently became free to download and play on Steam. Snap Judgment – Life is Feudal: MMO 27 July, 2019
