City Tales - Medieval Era offers plenty of content for players to start building their kingdoms, including two game modes, Settle and Bard, each of which focuses on creating both deep and cosy experiences. Players will be able to work alongside 9 companions to build their settlements across two hand-made maps, with 50+ buildings, 40+ resources, and a deep economy system that evolves across four tiers.
The first Early Access Update will focus on offering an expanded companion system, the addition of Caravan and Escorts to transport resources across settlements, and UI improvements. Further updates will also include Castle Upgrades, Wonders to build, Defensive Walls, Trading, Bridges, new game modes, and more.
