Description

Medieval Frontiers is a mix of survival, farming, and life simulation. Players hunt, farm fields, take care of animals, and construct buildings to ensure their community’s survival. The mission: stockpile enough supplies for the next winter to offer shelter to newcomers in their remote settlement. Along the way, they must defend against hunger, cold, wild animals, and raids.

A special feature is the complex needs and traits system for NPCs: All villagers have their own personalities and traits. Health, mood, and hunger significantly influence how they perform tasks and how quickly they gain experience. Players can decide which NPC skills to improve, influencing the fate of their settlement.
