Future rulers can begin planning their kingdoms now by wishlisting the game on Steam. Stay updated by joining the official Discord and visiting the official website.
Key Features:
Explore an Unknown Land: Nysamor is a land rich in resources and fraught with conflict. Compete for control of these resources across a vast world populated by villages and kingdoms. Neighboring factions will react to your actions based on their allegiances, whether they remain loyal to Wyrmaxa or are swayed by your influence—through intimidation or compassion.
Survive and Thrive: Place city structures, set up road networks, build defenses, and assemble a powerful military to exert your will. Build your legacy through effective planning, advancement, and a detailed tech tree. Gather resources, harvest production areas, and expand your lands. Trade with or take the fight to other players or computer-controlled factions. Do what you must to ensure your kingdom can survive the harsh realities of medieval life.
Benevolence or Tyranny: Each decision has lasting consequences, taking you further down the path of benevolence or tyranny. Whether your reign is Benevolent or Tyrannical, both paths have their advantages – and challenges. Be mindful of the legacy you want to leave behind.
Conquer Your Foes: Siege castles, plunder trade routes, or confront fantastical Waelgrim creatures in intense RTS combat, both in single-player and alongside or against other players. But be warned – soldiers need food, water, and more to fight. The cost of war can take a heavy toll.
Solo or Shared Reign: Enjoy a fully realized single-player experience, or team up with friends in PvP or co-op multiplayer for up to four players.
