Chronicles Medieval Gameplay
Chronicles: Medieval is a dynamic and ambitious sandbox RPG set in 14th-century Europe, blending action, RPG depth, and grand strategy. It focuses on player agency, allowing players to forge their own path from humble beginnings to a position of power and influence. Players must create their character with little to no standing, then journey from rags to riches with any means necessary, be it as a mercenary, a merchant, a bandit, as a soldier for the king's army, or other roles.
Dynamic events such as famines, plagues, and natural disasters that can disrupt the political landscape and create new opportunities or challenges. It features third-person melee combat as the developers have partnered with a Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) expert to ensure historically accurate and weighty animations, aiming for a balance between realism and fun. Large-scale battles and strategic management elements give players a wide range of experiences in this epic joruney.
Chronicles Medieval Story Plot
Chronicles Medieval is a story-driven sandbox, which gives the players absolute freedom on how they may tackle the game. To start, the story begins in 14th century Europe (specifically 1313 AD). This era is a turbulent period of political upheaval, warfare, emerging empires, and societal shifts, but also one where significant historical events like famines and plagues can dramatically impact the world. The world is presented as a vibrant, historically-inspired environment, moving beyond the often-bleak portrayals of the Middle Ages.
From there, the players can take on their journey wherever and however they want, with their main goal to become the most powerful and influential person in the land.
