There was a time of peace and happiness, now is a time of blood, sacrifice and war.

The land we have lived on since the earliest times, where our ancestors lived, where we live, and our children will be born, as well as their offsprings. In this land, we have obtained food and have fought against cruel beasts for survival. It is here that we built our houses, settlements and developed the arts of crafts and farming, and they came and took everything from us. We must fight for our land! Because this land is our life. And for them, it is nothing but death!

Know your enemies

Some people describe them as monsters and the worst creatures that walk on Slavic land. Nobody knows where they came from, and nobody realized what they wanted until their steel and silver swords were covered with the blood of the Slavs. The land, which was once fertile, yielded many crops, will now be burned and stained with the blood of the Slavs.

Build and Manage

Proper development and management of the village is one of the key points for the development of your territory. Raga will have many famous and innovative city-building mechanics. Starting with a small village that you will be able to expand with new buildings as the game progresses. Managing even a small village is an extremely difficult task, proper management of the workforce, food ration, or meeting the religious needs of your inhabitants requires your commitment.

Trade and Farm

Manage your settlement in an optimal way. The exchange of resources with merchants and traders is one of the key factors for the rational management of the village. In the game, you will start your adventure when trade and agriculture flourish. Agriculture is an extremely crucial aspect for your village in terms of its further development. Take care of the proper balance of your crops, because farming will allow you to trade with other towns and cities.

FIGHT

Fight those who came out of nowhere: followers of the crucified god. Train your warriors to face their greatest follower. Fight for the survival of the village and its inhabitants. In the game, you will be able to create many categories of warriors who will face your opponent without fear in their eyes. Take care of the morale of your warriors, without them you can be lost, do not count on the mercy of those with a cross on their backs.

Let the ravens feast on the enemy’s carcass during the day and the wolves in the evenings, it’s time for Raga. It is time for the myths and legends about the creatures that inhabit the land of the Slavs to become true, let the followers of the crucified god see with their own eyes and feel what pain, fear and death are.

The Unexpected Quest

The Unexpected Quest

Note well: this is not really a combat game. If you’re looking for hack-and-slash, try elsewhere. This is a puzzle/strategy game, with resource collecting an essential feature. Yes, you fight monsters, but it’s not complicated; it isn’t meant to be. It’s your strategic abilities that come into play here above all; analysing each level for priorities is important, and so is deciding how to use your resources.

That said, I really like the cute characters and their quest against oddly comic undead. I love the strategic gameplay–for everyone who said ‘this is too easy’, there’s someone like me who prefers it on a more laidback level than (e.g.) Dark Souls!

Mythos: Slavic Builder

Mythos: Slavic Builder

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1732910/Photography_Simulator/

Before the missionaries came to the Slavic lands to start writing down the known history, there was the Age of Mythos:

Forests, valleys and fields are full of creatures from Slavic beliefs. Even though they may look like monsters, you don’t have to fight them all. Make proper offerings to them and you will gain powerful allies.

Give your workers a roof over their heads and a good supper and they will build a thriving settlement for you. Do not disappoint your subjects, because dissatisfied people may leave you.

A long spear and a sharp sword will always be useful - your settlement is threatened by monsters, other tribes, Vikings or even demons from distant lands.

Follow Slavic traditions to earn points that you may spend on special blessings from the gods - the warlike Perun, the generous Mokosh and the mysterious Veles.

Diplomacy is Not an Option

Diplomacy is Not an Option

In the RTS-game “Diplomacy is Not an Option” you will become a medieval feudal lord in a midlife crisis. Due to your position you must constantly make hundreds of decisions a day related with city management and economic development. You are tired of this monotonous and, so it seems, meaningless existence. But things are about to change: hordes of bloodlusted enemies, swarms of scary monsters and crowds of rebellious peasants at any second can bring some life to your working schedule.

War-time laws

The country is going through difficult times. King’s greed and wastefulness led to the economic crisis and widespread peasant riots. You are a feudal lord. It happened so that, being fed up of routine and everyday problems, you’ve lost a taste for life. When an angry mob besieges your castle you perceive this news with an extraordinary enthusiasm, personally lead the defense and win a glorious victory.

Your role in the riots suppression is noticed at the court. The crown sends you on a responsible mission. Rumors are, there are deposits of gold and other precious materials on a poorly explored continent. The task is to take control under foreign land, obtain its treasures in order to replenish the king’s coffer. Though they forgot to warn that the natives won’t be glad to see you. In addition, there are monsters on the continent, and local mages are actively practicing necromancy.

What sacrifices will you make for the sake of survival and victory? Or maybe you should stop this suicidal campaign and overthrow the king? Don’t you deserve to rule the world?

Physical laws

The laws of physics are thoroughly reproduced in Diplomacy is Not an Option to maximize player immersion in a medieval war action. Tens of thousands of units can fight on the screen at the same time.

Here are several helpful tips:

  • Every gun has its certain range, and medieval shells fly by an arc trajectory.

  • Arrows do not pierce stone walls. On contrary, arrows bounce off the walls.

  • Archers on the towers have blind spots. Closed gates can become an obstacle not only for the enemy, but also for your retreating units.

  • You may discover other interesting facts about the nature of things that may become useful for combat operations.

Social laws

Surviving hostile environments is an important part of the gameplay. Even the most loyal of your citizens tend to die from time to time. From various causes, such as illness, old age, depression, or being seriously hurt on the battlefield. When this happens, it is strongly recommended to bury the dead in order to avoid epidemics and the moral decay of society.

Economical laws

Economic processes in “Diplomacy is Not an Option” are visible. You will see how walls are being built stone by stone. Or how a fallen tree is cut into boards, from which the city will then be raised. The feudal lord does not need to take part in the affairs of his subjects. However, such visibility will help you to manage human resources with more efficiency. As a ruler, you will lead people, give them specialization and, so to say, the meaning of life. Every member of the society is important, from a lumberjack or a carpenter to an undertaker or a swordsman. Once set up, with a proper support the economic process will become a key to survival and also will let you to focus on mission objectives.

Magical laws

What do we say to the gods of death, whether they are on an uncharted continent or in our own reach? “Bury the bodies immediately!” – we answer to these gods. Otherwise every fallen warrior and every lumberjack died from overstrain has risk to join the enemy forces. Also the dead are a very wayward. If you demolish a cemetery and disturb their sleep, they shall rise and begin to wreak havoc, reducing the population of the living.

Life laws

We sought to create a game without unnatural limitations. From the very first task, you will be given the entire available arsenal, and all the in-game mechanics will be unlocked. It depends on you which strategy to choose for your city to survive and prosper. Knowledge of the all listed laws will help you to complete different missions with various ultimate goals and types of enemies. During your campaign you will face moral dilemmas. You will see human stupidity and shortsightedness, leading to fatal consequences. Just like in real life. The only difference is that conflicts cannot be avoided.

I love the scenery still clearly a first unity game idk I guess its nice

Real player with 2.1 hrs in game

I have literally no clue why someone would release this crap. This game looks like someone’s first attempt trying to understand how the unity engine works. There is literally no physics system, you will start sinking in the ground and can run up horizontal mountains. Everything is buggy and messy. Please delete this from Steam.

SORALAND

SORALAND

Soraland is good little game. Developer actively developing it at the time of this review. Currently game has two modes: Main game, let’s say “Campaign” mode, and mini games. Campaign mode is a very enjoyable source management simulation. You collect sources to build your little town, fight monsters and overthrow the enemy castles. After you expand enough you go for the enemy castle. I think there will be more castles in the future, menu has different objectives but they are locked at the time being.

Real player with 4.9 hrs in game

The game looks and feels nice, par the clunky mouse movement (Dev said they would add mouse sensitivity option soon). I had to use a controller to play.

However the major downfall for this game is how short it is.. It can be completed in just over 1 hour. Personally speaking, for the price it currently is the game is way too short.

(Which is why currently I can’t recommend the game sorry) If the price is adjusted to reflect the amount of content, and/or their is enough content added to justify the price then I will update my review accordingly)
