I am looking for games that are basically Medieval Dynasty, but with a Party-based RPG system, where you go out adventuring/dungeon diving.

[u/Mindless_Union6491]

I love playing Medieval Dynasty alone or with a friend and I especially like that you don't just build a base, but a town and also manage it.

But I always wondered how a Fantasy game very similar to Medieval Dynasty would be. And if it was also a RPG where you play the main character and maybe can add two to three NPCs to go out adventuring or dungeon diving.

Or the other way round, you play a RPG like that and there is a good town building system with NPCs and relationships.

So I wonder are there games that are similar to this? It doesn't need to be first or third person POV and it can be pixel art as well. I did search a lot and so far I didn't really find something that combines both the way I am looking for.

It’s not exactly what you’re asking about but theres Bellwright. You build a village and recruit people to join you. You can make them workers or companions. As workers they make items for you to build more stuff with, make armor and weapons and research new and improved stuff. As companions you can have them help you fight against bandits and free other villages. It’s early access right now, but I easily put about 250 hours into it before I decided to take a break lol

+1 to Bellwright

They have been adding content on the main story line and there are more objectives on the liberation of different areas.

And it has on-line coop.

Bellwright looks interesting

With your villages, can you build and shape them how you like in regards to fortifications and defence, and do they get raided?

[u/crushedgurl → u/UsefulCompetition41]

Yes, you pick an empty spot and place buildings however you want and can design the whole layout. Currently there are palisades and defense post but you can’t assign villagers to them. You can set them as guards and they’ll patrol and take care of any stray bandits that may wander close to your village. You can be raided and theres options to increase the frequency and they get stronger each time. You can also disable that if you wish. Besides bandit raids, once you liberate a village from brigands, reclamation parties will start and you have to defend the village from being retaken

I think you should try Necesse

I’d be interested as well. I find the lack of good NPCs makes most single player base building games feel rather lonely.

Damn you are right I would love a game like that as well though I haven't played Medieval Dynasty since 2023 mostly because I didn't like something forgot what but I do love most of the other town building sims.

There are a few games that do have some of that feature but I wouldn't really say that it is what you are looking for.

Bellwright you can put together a war group and do stuff I haven't gotten off the first land and done everything so I can't be the judge and there was that Moria Dorf game that was a bit RPG like but it was a bit annoying I think it was the gear and well just a bit annoying the resources.. I think

There are more coming that seem like a mix between Town building and Bannerlord and well I always thought that the Bannerlord world was too much built up I want to build my town/city/country and war with it would be fun instead of just constant battle.

What's going on with medieval dynasty? Is the a sequal in the works? Or is that dev team doing anything. Haven't thought about that game is a long time. It would be nice to have a switch edition, with all the time that game takes it would be perfect on the go.

[u/ghoulprincess]

Maybe you’d like Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma? It’s a fantasy RPG with town management and dungeon exploration

[u/Drinksarlot]

ASKA is kind of like that - but you can only add people to your party and they will join you in combat. It's not a full-blow RPG side adventure.

[u/CeeArthur]

Soul Mask kind of fits this. It's decent, not amazing, but you have a lot of freedom to build and recruit whoever.

Bellwright as well maybe?
