Life is Feudal: Your Own
A lot of MMORPGs tend to be very traditional and samey, with constant grinding for gear slightly better than what you already have and endless skill bars and whatnot. Life Is Feudal: Your Own, however, is looking to do things a little differently. After all, a realistic medieval MMO with physics-based combat and a heavy focus on crafting, survival and co-operation isn’t something you see everyday.
Tunnels and moats can be dug through the completely alterable terrain, castles and towns can be built and defended against attacking players, concoctions can be brewed via alchemy (with different recipes and combinations for every player), there’s a lot of interesting stuff to do to say the least.
These kinds of games are brilliant when it comes to emergent gameplay and creating memorable stories, and there’s already loads of them – from absurdity like people digging tunnels into castles to steal pants to pleasantries like small communities forming and helping each other out.
Life is Feudal: Your Own is currently in early access on Steam, and the full version will be released sometime in 2015.
