While the developers' past of abandoning Early Access games should give you a pause when you're about to purchase another early access game by this developer, I'm giving this a thumbs up because even if it is abandoned as it is right now, I feel it's still worth the price. And unlike their pervious game this one is not an MMO so does not require active servers to enjoy, so again the damage if abandoned is lower. I will warn, however, that it has it's fair share of bugs, crashes and UX issues. If you're looking for a well polished game, this might not be for you. But if you're looking for something deep and engaging, and are ok with some clunkiness and the occasional crash (I suggest you save often) - then this game is pretty good. Still, I'm hoping that this time they will be able to get it through to the finish line and provide a more polished and bug-free game.

Bellwright is close to being the perfect blend between a medieval life simulation and a deep management strategy game. You begin your journey as a humble, broken farmer. Every resource is precious, and early gameplay involves a lot of manual collection. But over time, you start recruiting villagers, expanding your settlement, and learning to delegate. As the game progresses, it evolves from a survival experience to a full-fledged management simulator. You’ll spend a significant amount of time optimizing villager roles, setting up efficient resource chains, and assigning jobs. Simultaneously, you’ll train and upgrade your people to defend against increasingly dangerous bandit raids. Eventually, the game transitions into a conquest phase, where you lead your own well-equipped militia to reclaim the land, command troops in dynamic, simulation-based combat, and loot valuable resources. Pros: A satisfying progression from survival to strategy. NPC automation and village management are well implemented. (npc inventory manager UI need to improve) The combat system, while not revolutionary, adds a fun layer to the gameplay loop. The open-ended gameplay lets you lean into a SimCity-like builder or a Kingdom Come: Deliverance style adventure, depending on your mood. Cons: The map is vast, but progression doesn’t fully take advantage of its size. Much of the late-game content can be unlocked without ever needing to explore the southern regions. Quests and village development are highly repetitive. Each new settlement follows almost the same gameplay loop, which can feel tedious after unlocking Tier 3 buildings and upgrades. The game lacks incentives for long-term exploration. Once you’ve optimized one town, there’s little reason to start over elsewhere. Village defense mechanics are basic and could benefit from more complexity and urgency. Conclusion: Bellwright is highly addictive and filled with potential. However, its current structure leads to a repetitive late game. If the developers were to condense the map by about 30–40%, introduce stronger town defense mechanics, and diversify the village-building experience, Bellwright could easily go from a good game to a great one.

This game is like Medieval Dynasty, The Guild, and Mount & Blade mixed together. If you enjoy games like that where you build your own settlement and have companions and workers that you can command; then you'll enjoy this. You start out trying to increase your reputation with the neighboring villages, which allow you to recruit villagers that you can then use as a companion, worker or guard. You start building up your own settlement with those newly gained people and researching new technologies to craft better buildings and gear. While you're doing that, you're doing quests to increase reputation. The quests are actually interesting, because some people want you to craft things for them, explore, fight bandits, and so forth. So you'll find yourself having your community craft certain things you need for quests, etc. Your settlement can be attacked by bandits, and I guess the goal of the game is to liberate the entire continent or all of the cities. This is very much a sandbox though so you can basically continue the main story at your own pace. There's a variety of game settings options where you can customize how quickly you get hungry, how hard the raids are, and so forth, so I welcome the customization. There are skills in the game that you can increase by doing them, such as One handed, Two handed, Archery, research, laboring, etc. You can find skill books that when read give you experience, but they also take a certain amount of real-time to 'be read' before you can read another book. I find that a welcome change compared to other games. So in this one you can learn skills by doing and also by reading skill books. Overall very fun, and hope they keep expanding on it.

I wanted to put a mixed option on the recommendation, but there are only two options: Yes or No. I chose yes, because I've played for a bit and I've enjoyed it enough to believe that I've gotten my money's worth. Nonetheless, it is incredibly grindy. I know that I'll never finish the game, because it just takes forever, and I don't have the patience. I'll probably never even get into tier 2. Researching takes forever. Gathering takes forever. Hunting takes forever to learn. You need items like straps to research the village hall, but you can't build straps until after the village hall, so you have to farm bandits, but when you clear a bandit camp, they're gone, so you need to find more advanced bandits, but you can't build better weapons, because you have to build the village hall, which takes an ungodly amount of material and time. So, is it fun for a bit? yes. Does it get old really, really fast? Yes. This could be a great game, if the developers can find the balance between realistic and fun. For now, though, it's just tiresome.

Aug. 2024

It is a good game for Early access, quite balanced, and no bugs detected yet, but minor fixes are still needed. What I want to see Is the ability to build Walls and fortifications and defend your settlement from raids. Also, the ability to lay siege! This would make the game AWESOME! please vote
