If you missed the news, Steam has started Medieval festival Aujourd'hui. That’s pretty much what it sounds like, et oui, you can get discounts on medieval-themed games. While we mention discounts, there are also free games joining the fest. En fait, a lot of it. Some will be familiar, like Albion Online and Conqueror’s Blade. There’s even an appearance from one of the Game of Thrones offerings.

We wanted to take a look and find some games that players might not have tried yet – or that might be fairly new. It’s worth noting that “Middle Ages” doesn’t mean the game is set in Europe. Some can be found in Asia or elsewhere. The selection is also not strictly limited to one genre. Some are strategy and war games, others are RPGs, and then there are the little farming simulations that happen to take place in a medieval village. We’ll start with the newest games in the list.

Myth of Empires: Trône

Myth of Empires: Throne by Angela Game is a multiplayer war sandbox based on competitive seasonal gameplay. The world is inspired by Zhongzhou, Dongzhou and Xizhou, giving players plenty to explore as they build a power base. Le jeu propose plus de 1,300 crafting recipes and equipment systems. Players can tame and train all types of beasts (and NPCs, apparently) for combat and transportation purposes. As for weapons, the game features everything from melee weapons to siege weapons.

As mentioned earlier, the game features seasonal gameplay. This means that the servers are reset from time to time so that everyone can start from the same point. Players can then compete against each other in various battles and cross-server expeditions.

Shadowbane: Resurgence

Available today on Steam, Shadowbane: Resurgance is a dark fantasy open-world MMORPG with 12 races and a flexible class system. Techniquement, this is a “revenir” for the game, with the developers saying they listened to player feedback and made adjustments accordingly. This includes things like the ability to make the game playable in single box mode, changes to PvP, the introduction of a new hotzone setting, et plus.

Trail of stars

Trail of Stars by Endysis is a visual novel that is both an adventure and a love story. The story begins with a noble lord taking two squires hunting. It focuses on the lives of these squires and their lives as they grow up together. The game features hand-drawn graphics and original music. Obviously it’s not for those of you looking for an MMO, an action game or something similar. But if you’re looking for something lightweight, this might be for you.

Rogue Master

The horde survival game Rogue Masters can be played alone, but is intended as a co-op game for 6 joueurs. It features souls-like combat and detailed character customization. Players can set up their own room to fight in or join someone else’s. Create a unique character with the gear that best suits your playstyle and customize it using the game’s transmogrification system. The game also does away with microtransactions, so everyone is on equal footing.

Werewolves revenge

If you’re looking for a medieval-themed social deduction game, then Werewolves Revenge might be right for you. The game is designed for eight to sixteen players and features more than 300 roles and 5 factions. Maps can be explored in first-person or third-person perspectives, with players able to use proximity voice chat to communicate. Bien sûr, they have to make sure that the enemy is not nearby.

Each game is led by a host who is responsible for curating the gaming experience. The game also provides players with a personal notebook to keep track of or invent a truth. Players can earn in-game rewards and achievements by playing and winning as each of the factions. They can also showcase their achievements using player tiles that they can arrange however they like.

Home wind

For something more casual, there’s Adi Zhavo’s Home Wind, a cozy city-building game where players can build large settlements. Players build settlements, earn wealth points and use them to improve the settlements. As they play, they complete levels that allow them to unlock larger maps. The whole thing is supposed to be pretty relaxing. This allows players to focus on building what they like instead of optimizing it.
