city builder , that is, one of those titles in which the objective is to build a city and manage it in the best possible way, so that it prospers and expands. All this takes place within a
medieval context , given that we are faced with a
realistic and historically accurate product .
What distinguishes Manor Lords from its other colleagues is the presence of numerous other components that do not make it a simple city builder. In addition to having to found and build a city, the player must also manage the local economy and relate to nearby communities. There is even the possibility of building an army and clashing with other factions through a
system that resembles, in broad terms, the one seen in Total War . Another truly peculiar element is the exploration system, through which players can observe the fruit of their hard work in
third person .

Why is Manor Lords so famous?
Now that we know all the gameplay dynamics of Manor Lords it is much easier to understand the reasons for its success, but it is not only due to the mix of genres that the title is obtaining such positive feedback in this phase of Early Access on Steam and PC Game Pass .
Another reason why the game is so appreciated by the community is due to its accessibility : usually city builders and strategic games are productions with a large entry barrier, which due to complex mechanics prevents those who want to play more relaxed to access it. Manor Lords is an exception in this sense , since although it is complex, it can also be played by those who are not experts in the genre, who will still be able to have fun.
There is also another reason why the game has become so famous and it is absolutely not to be underestimated: Manor Lords was developed by just one person , who is proving to be incredibly attentive to player feedback and is shaping the title based on their desires. It is no coincidence that there are those who have high expectations for the final version, which will arrive in about a year at the end of Early Access.
