Deal | Loved by 81% of players, this medieval colony sim is 50% off on Steam

During the Middle Ages, wars were frequent, and betrayal was common. In Norland, a medieval colony sim developed by Long Jaunt and published by Hooded Horse, you embody a lord who wants to extend his kingdom and ensure his family’s survival.

But the world around you is at war, and many kingdoms are fighting for power and influence. These conflicts have devastating consequences, causing famine and social unrest. To reach glory, you must be a good leader and respond to the needs of your villagers. Manage their food and money so they can help you extend your territory.

Your family also plays an important role. Indeed, each person has strengths and weaknesses, as well as personality traits, and you’ll need to use them to lead armies, make important decisions, and defeat various enemies. However, some members of your family will betray you, and you’ll need to stay vigilant.

As for combat, your armies are composed of knights and peasants. This means that every battle can have significant consequences. Also, keep in mind that all your equipment must be manufactured or imported. Finally, a new world is generated when you start a new game, allowing you to vary your gameplay and objectives.

Released on July 18, 2024, on Steam, Norland has received “Very Positive” ratings with 81% positive reviews out of 9,710 reviews. Many players enjoy the possibility to play as a tyrannical or pacifist lord, as well as the varied combat. However, the game is quite challenging, and the progression is slow. In addition, there are numerous issues with the game's economy that prevent players from progressing. However, it is in early access, and improvements can be made.

Nevertheless, it is currently available for $14.99 instead of $29.99, which represents a 50% discount. But be careful, because this offer ends on April 26, 2026, according to SteamDB.
