Best Medieval 3D Games on PC

Empire of Ember

EDITED TO REFLECT THE PATCH AS OF JULY 02:

~~A lot of people are saying that this game is a ‘Fantasy style Mount & Blade’, but that’s only partially true.

The truth is that this is a ‘Fantasy style Mount & Blade’ when that style of fantasy is coming from the Dark Souls universe.

As far as I can tell the only difference between ‘Easy’ and ‘Insanity’ (the most difficult), if the fact that your stuff don’t get taken when you lose by the random mobs that whopped your butt on ‘Easy’.~~

The game in a few words:

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic meets Mount and Blade.

TLDR: The Wizard lord simulator I have been looking for.

You manage your wizard tower, recruit troops, and go on missions with or without your troops (they won’t help you in dungeons).

I think the game nailed the interactions between these different parts very well. You do feel like being a wizard in his tower, improving your settlement and recruiting fireball fodder to buy you time to annihilate the enemy.

The action is split in “days” between which you will heal and restore your mana, and either investigate leads (about secondary quests), bolster the economy of your city through alchemy, or prepare enchantments to make the next battle easier or more rewarding.

Mercyful Flames

Welcome to the murky times you’ll get the chance to become an occultist that due to a quirk of malignant fate becomes an inquisitor. A very wrong person in a very responsible position. Join the ranks of a bloodthirsty church and see how far are you ready to go to save your beloved one.

Mercyful Flames is a detective adventure RPG inspired by horror board games. A slow-paced, yet thrilling study of human meanness. Complete several dozen missions, each set in different but equally horrifying scenery. Investigate, bribe, fight, or even torture. Do whatever it takes, to achieve your goal, and remember that you’ll be doing it all in the name of love. Or at least keep telling yourself that to remain sane.

Some of the inquisitor’s powers:

Ultimate interrogation. Break your enemies' will, force them to reveal darkest secrets.

**Roaming the Dark Ages world.** Explore the wild and deserted nooks of the kingdom.

**Creativity. ** Develop terrifying torture machines

**God’s Grace.** Develop your skills through the power from the above.

Detective’s mind. Solve problems using the power of intelligence, fear, persuasiveness, or tortures

Dark ages. Poverty and misery are everywhere. Hunger and injustice raise anger in simple men. Keep it in mind - you are in the middle of it.

Make good use of the heavenly support. Ask the Lord to send favors, and help you in your investigation. Hunt down the devil inside the innocent souls, but remember that even the purest soul of loved once can be sometimes tempted but him. Decide how far can you go.

You are the inquisitor. Not the most loved occupation here. Be careful who you trust. There is always a mask, it’s important to know is it behind the face

or on it.

Have mercy on poor peoples' souls. Expand and maintain the authority of the church through the power of flames. Achieve your goal at all costs. Accuse the villagers of witchcraft, and pacts with the devil if necessary.

Earn the grace of the king and the pope. Do what inquisitors do. Burn the enemies of the church or just Burn EVERYTHING to the ground and

become a Grand Witch Hunter.

I really enjoyed this one. I wish it had a sandbox type scenario without the time constraint.

Want to play more but don’t really want to repeat the main campaign.

Theme park meets jousting!

It’s a good little sim game. There’s more complexity to the it that I thought it would have when I bought it - but it’s actually been quite fun for the last couple of days I’ve been dipping in and out. Well worth a punt.

Pros

Good feel to it, familiar tycoon game mechanics, building, hiring staff and all that jazz.
It looks nice, good art style and cute characters.
Music is pretty good.
It’s got some nice humour - you can see little thought bubbles from time to time with funny stuff people are thinking & the story is humor driven

ALTF4

I’d recommend this game if you like Getting Over with Bennett Foddy.

It is not as difficult but it puts way more pressure on you as a player, just like a mox ruby underneath a herd of donkeys eating lettuce filled wraps of peanut butter.

When you beat you will glad its over, but instantly nostalgic, just like Zelda 2.

Or some may say, its like stepping on a lego, cutting your foot, on the way to get cookies from the oven, and you drop your cold glass of milk, with shards of glass everywhere, and go head first into an open oven, while realizing you burnt the cookies, only to take a bite of charred chocolate chip. You come back the next day, and play ALT-F4, that is what this game is like. =)

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Castle Constructor

This game is way too addictive weirdly enough, there’s already so many things in the game (as of posting this it isn’t fully released) you can almost never get bored, after loading it up for the first time I played 8 hours straight of the game!

great little game, with lots of potential, a little buggy when it comes to the enemy ai and spawning but otherwise amazing. Hexagons are just perfect for star fortress fun

Escape from Poalet

It was a nice escape start, funny too. A bit too much going back and forth to my liking :D
