Norland

great game but They don't allow you to have more than 5 lords. on one of the scenarios you get 2 brothers, then you get them both wives and now only one can have a child

I've really enjoyed Norland. it is like a mix of Rimworld and CK3. The mechanics are a lot of fun and i really like the art style. I definitely recommend it in its current state, and the best thing is - the devs are still hard at work and there is a lot more to come. cant wait to keep playing

It's a fun little game, but don't expect Crusader Kings level of depth. It's very simple and not very deep once you learn how things work. Good for a bit of mindless fun, but doesn't have a lot of replay value.

I thoroughly enjoy this game. Whenever I'm bored I find myself coming back to this game and getting... unbored. It's fun and can be challenging depending on how you play. If you enjoy single player games with a relaxed pace with micromanaging it's a good game for you.

Very unstable and LOTS of bugs. Can not recommend in current state. And CTD all the time makes it unplayable.

YES BUT ............................... so i have a few hours in the game now and id like to give some feedback to the devs. first of all this is a great game with huge potential ! the game is fun and calm . however.............. there are some issues for example: 1- Mood. there are no real ways of explaining why your peasants and or warriors are unhappy . i go to the statistics and it only shows increase or decrease of mood . Either an easier way of seeing their mood or a complete stat breakdown is needed. 2- Crime. i had my most recent play through come to an end due to loosing citizens because of criminals and vagabonds causing chaos . resulting in a complete breakdown of my economy. i set patrols , i have guards on each of them , i have executions and punishments daily around town on multiple scaffolds. yet this had little to no effect on solving crime . ( yes only criminals were selected for execution) 3- Economy. i had a huge chain of good being developed. food . coal . tools. paper. weapons etc etc , however i needed 2-3 of each building type to make any sort of gain in resources. this needs a lot of re balancing !!!!!! with the state of slow to almost non existent peasant income i cant run all the building necessary to keep up with the supply chain. 4- Game state. this game is a ton of fun . with a lot more depth than u might realise ! it is addictive and amazing . its got a long way to go before i can personally recommend it however it really is a one of a kind game . combining mechanics from rimworld , crusader kings , total war and battle brothers to name a few. PLEASE KEEP GOING!! this game has the promise to be huge . thanks

This game looks promising. I found some minor bugs but also new and interesting mechanics. I like this game and recommend it.

They got a lot of things right and show great potential. The team is ambitious and also takes community feedback seriously. Played for 50 hours now and really enjoyed figuring out how to conquer the continent. Looking forward to the next updates.

Really fun game but i suck at it so even while i'm getting raided by a army of 60 people i'm still having a blast

Two lords/ladies, even married cannot share a lords house. Typical. Good game outside of that.

Bought in Early Access this is already a fully functioning and fun game. The Devs are activly listening to community feedback and activly developing the game. I really like the outstanding ferature of controlling a few select Lords while parallel building a whole city with an Army. I am lloking forward to the Full game in the time i owned the Game the devs have made great progress!

Is this game early access? Yes Is it rough around the edges? Yes But is it fun? Also yes. Game has a very fun and interesting foundation to build open. The developers are very active on the discord and actively discuss and collaborate with the community. The game has already had a bunch of new features added in since early access. If you want to watch the game develop over time and still have fun playing it id advise to get it.

Very charming game! It's medieval Rimworld but actually balanced, not as edgy and much neater to manage. Plus the characters have HANDS!

A very fun game if your interested in city builders. The game is always changing and adding new things, the conflict in game also keeps it fresh and offers hour of playtime.

Norland feels like RimWorld/Dwarf Fortress. It blends Dwarf Fortress style population management with a tighter focus you’re managing just a handful of pawns, but every decision matters. The military combat system also gives off serious Dwarf Fortress vibes, with a satisfying point-and-click approach to tactics. Let me know if you want it shorter, funnier, or more casual.

Awesome game, love the battles and the drama can be fun as well!

This game is exactly what I thought it would be. The great features far out-weigh the issues, but there still are issues. I still cannot rotate every building, or see the size of the buildings before researching and placing them. I also would love a sandbox mode with infinite materials and instant building so I can find a template I like for my town. Also, on most of the plot of land you can choose, there are many rocks in the way that prevent me from building an aesthetically pleasing town. If these things can be fixed I will return to the game, but as of now I feel I have exhausted the games potential for fun.

TLDR: probably wait for a sale and maybe mod support. There's the bones of a good game here but the devs are overly hostile to the player. They're obviously trying to make it difficult but only succeeded at unfair. Bad events should come with having some means of mitigating the effects. Many don't. Could be a great game, but it is going in another direction atm. Also locking progression behind RNG seems like a weak idea. There are better ways. Also a lot of simple QOL elements are noticeably absent. Simple to implement and obvious things that are at the top of mod lists in similar games. Much could change and it is fun when RNG doesnt decide to BF you. It's one thing to have a 1 hour game go sideways due to bad rng, but another for a 20+ hour game to do the same. I'm torn, but I'll give a thumbs up.

In short, the game is fun and I enjoyed it, but its downsides are so frustrating to me that i’m just going to talk about the ugly. TOO MUCH MICRO MANAGEMENT There are so many things to look after that it becomes really overwhelming really fast. You have peasants, your lords, other nations lords, your settlement, resources, politics, the church. It is so overwhelming that you will probably be ignoring some aspect of the game just because you are not able to keep up with EVERYTHING thats going on. PLEASE REWORK THE KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM Probably the most frustrating aspect of the game is knowledge management. It takes too long to make your lords learn anything and it’s not very fun just watching all of your lords spend all of their free time in the library instead of doing cool and interesting stuff by interacting with each other. To make things worse, if you lose a lord, all of their knowledge is lost with them and if you want it back, you better put your lords to work and it may take hours just to get back what you once had.

Norland is a good game. The storylines you can create are genuinely engaging, and each playthrough feels different depending on the choices you make. It’s easy to get into, but once you start, it pulls you in fast. The customization is great—you can build and manage your kingdom the way you want, and your decisions actually have an impact. There’s a lot of replay value, and it stays fun no matter how many times you play. Overall, it’s a unique and immersive experience that’s definitely worth checking out.

I enjoy diving into this game every now and then. It has brought me many hours of enjoyment. A complex but straightforward strategy game. With it's unique heir system and the ability to make the heir better than the first character you make is by far one of my favorite aspects of the game.

Despite present flaws and lacking, it's a good game for the price point.

Very cool game though in its current state its not kinda roleplay-ish but its still good at this state. i hope a update adds more features to marauders as they opposes marauders like make them control a kingdom if succesful or even turn to a marauder if the king is agnostic or has a negative relations with the church. Aside from the suggestion, It is fun ngl you can win either by domination or alliance. since the peasants is not u control just the nobles it can start some funny stuff without u knowing anyways 8/10 peak game will buy again.

I know it's not Steam Deck verified and the "playable" section says "some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read", but that's a gross understatement. With a 48" TV, sitting approximately 6 feet away, and able to read every word in the store and updates perfectly fine, I'm unable to read the tiny text in this game without standing 2-3 feet from the TV. What's worse, there's an option for UI scaling. But on Steam Deck it's grayed out and locked at 70%. Why even have the option to scale the UI if we can't use it? It makes zero sense. When Long Jaunt unlocks the UI scaling option on Steam Deck, I'll try Norland since I'm not standing up or using binoculars to play the game. Until then my review will remain negative.

I named my characters after myself and my wife for that sweet immersive touch. Built a thriving estate. Managed food, politics, and people. Then it happened. Caught my wife in bed with a cultist priest. A cultist. Of all the godless pixelated men in the realm. I sat in stunned silence. My peasants toiled. The sun rose and set. But in my heart? Only darkness. Never before has a game wounded me so deeply and yet pulled me in harder. 10/10 betrayal. Would suffer again.

In my opinion, currently quite frustrating, but it might become a good game sooner or later. Just wait.

...Just get heavy armor, axes and shields and dudes with combat skill over 5 and a decent commander. You'll win no problem

great games for those who likes the medieval age and build a kingdom from zero

One of those rare games that is fun and runs smooth during early access. Game shows alot of promise even in EA and is constantly updated and improved over time.

Super rewarding game especially for early access, amazing visuals. Looking forward to continuing improvements and additions.

i love the work the devs are making for this game and dont make everything a dlc
