Ahhh, the swish of a scythe to gather the cut the grown crop, the hammering of wood as new abodes rise up in your burgeoning fiefdom, the cheery barks of workers as you assign them labour; Historically themed strategy games are one of the most enduring genres in PC gaming—from the isometric charms of Age of Empires through to ambitious modern indies like Manor Lords and Banished—and now developer MetaKing Studios is marching the genre to that wildest of frontiers, web3, with its new MMO strategy game BLOCKLORDS.
Set in a medieval world of feudal kingdoms, lords, heroes, and town management, on a macro level BLOCKLORDS resembles a grand strategy game, presenting you with a vast world map from which you can plot your next move. Start cross-region trade, suss out your neighbours, and get a feel for who your friends and foes might be. Zoom in on your kingdom (or, initially, village), and you're presented with a picturesque town management view, from which you get to build out your village in real time, plotting farmland, optimising yields, and dealing with world events as they pop up.
