With its leisurely pace and relative lack of scripted drama, Life is Feudal: Forest Village is a pleasantly relaxing way of getting involved in the minutiae of everyday medieval life, but don't expect to immediately understand or master its systems. It can feel a little directionless at times and is definitely geared towards detail-oriented players who enjoy the challenges of both moment-to-moment micromanagement and long-term planning. Forest Village has itself continued to evolve from early access to full release and it will be interesting to see how the mod community adds content and shapes the game.

It's a doppelganger of Banished - the same ideas, but with less polish and oversimplified.

Without mods, this game is an average Banished clone with bugs and lazy coding : your villagers would prefer die of hunger than going to farer warehouse to take some food. Enjoyable, but lazy : few musics, simple graphisms with a pretty but useless first person mode. BUT... there is mod support ! And it was well implemented, as if the developers did let the community finish the game ! With mods, the game is great, you can adjust it to your own convenience : you want small settlements, you have smaller versions of each building of the game. You want knew but not game-breaking buildings ? Here you go ! Not the best medieval builder ever, but fine and pleasant.

This game is pretty cool. Very realistic and natural population/town building. You can pause it so its pretty relaxed. It's fun to build your own little medieval empire from a little village. Gets a bit lame after a while. Also still buggy

Far too buggy to be a worthy successor to Banished. Could have been the next best thing but still riddled with core game-breaking bugs. If you're happy to play a game that modders have to fix, this is for you.
