I absolutely love medieval games and this game definitely fits the bill.
NOTE I've only played a little bit of the single player. Most of my experience is from the co-op mode.

This game is pretty unique. It's a city builder but instead of being an outside force creating it, you instead play as a person who lives among your villagers. As you start building your village, you can recruit more people and make them do work around the village to the point of being able to survive on its own one you get enough people.
The building aspect of it is nice. Decent amount of freedom of how you build your village. I think it could use more customization though. Every building pretty much follows the same blue print. It'd be nice if you could make them different shapes and sizes.
There's a bit of a learning curve. Maybe I'm just not used to these type of games, but village management looks like a mess to me. I feel like it can be organized and implemented better. It took me awhile of trial and error + online tutorials to figure everything out.
Progression is painfully slow. I get it's supposed to be a chill, laid-back game. But man, playing on the default xp settings I feel takes forever to unlock everything. Thankfully you can turn it up to 1000% in the game settings.

The combat is a bit dull. Only a handful of weapons you can make. No armor or anything like that.
The art is gorgeous and the music is good.

The endgame is lacking content. Idk if they plan on adding a lot more, but I'd love if they made it so you eventually become like a lord or something. Maybe be able to build a castle.

Overall it's a decent game. It's just a chill town builder. Wish it had more and wasn't as grindy. Maybe wait for a sale to pick it up.

There is so much potential and I enjoy this game. However, being said, there isn't much to do. The map feel's empty and could has so much potential for bandits, that are no where to be found. Better loot, different job opportunities. Swords? Nah, shields? No. It needs an update, it needs more.

the game feels empty.

By far the Best Medieval Survival/town manager Great Graphics, Decent story line Although It lacks Armour/warfare But an update introducing armours, crests, shields, and more Is coming and set for sometime by the end of 2024. Money well spent In my opinion 10/10
