Medieval Dynasty brought players into the European Middle Ages, allowing them to build their own village. With Sengoku Dynasty, publisher Toplitz Productions aims to bring the ‘Medieval Dynasty’ experience to Japan in 2022.
What is Sengoku Dynasty? With Sengoku Dynasty, German publisher Toplitz Productions wants to take the successful formula of Medieval Dynasty to the next level. Sengoku Dynasty is set to be released in Early Access on Steam in 2022.
In Sengoku Dynasty, you are in medieval Japan, trying to secure your family’s survival. To achieve this, you build your own community, organize its daily life, and lead it as the founder of your own village.

What gameplay mechanics will Sengoku Dynasty have? Like its predecessor, Sengoku Dynasty is mainly characterized by variety. In addition to survival and RPG mechanics, it features elements of a life simulation set in feudal Japan.
Unlike Medieval Dynasty, you will be able to experience the open world of Sengoku Dynasty not only alone but also in cooperative mode with friends at release. You will have access to both a story and a sandbox mode.
Additionally, there are various categories available for your gameplay:
- The Way of the Leader: Forge alliances with NPCs, expand your influence, trade, found a family, and build a community.
- The Way of the Craftsman: Learn crafting techniques and create weapons, tools, and shelters, cook, craft items, and cultivate the land.
- The Way of the Warrior: Practice weapon mastery, face opponents using traditional Japanese melee and ranged weapons, and go hunting.
- The Way of the Monk: Draw energy from power places, build spiritual structures, meditate at mystical shrines, and make offerings to Japanese deities to gain their blessing.
Who is Sengoku Dynasty for? Toplitz Productions is releasing Sengoku Dynasty, a game for fans of the predecessor Medieval Dynasty and admirers of feudal Japan, known for its landscapes and unique architecture.
The game features typical elements of the survival genre, such as hunting, gathering, crafting, and building houses. Since it is also a simulation where forging alliances, organizing, and even logistics are important, the game could also appeal to fans of construction and strategy.
The RPG mechanics, with which players interacted with NPCs in Medieval Dynasty, are also a crucial factor in founding your family and establishing your own village.
If you do not choose the right answers in conversations or make the wrong decisions, you will feel the consequences. NPCs may consciously decide against joining your village, and poor leadership can spread rumors and damage your dynasty’s reputation.
So if you are neither a survival nor a construction fan and have no interest in role-playing games or their NPC interaction, then Sengoku Dynasty will not be a game for you. However, if you are looking for a game where you can lead your own Japanese village, then Sengoku Dynasty might be interesting for you.

With the coop mode, Sengoku Dynasty gets the feature that “Medieval Dynasty” fans have long awaited. Recently, Toplitz Productions announced that the players’ wish will be fulfilled, and Medieval Dynasty will receive a coop mode in 2023.
How exactly the coop mode in Medieval or Sengoku Dynasty looks or how it feels to run a village together with friends is still unknown.
Can you imagine building your own village in coop mode, or does the idea of ruling alone appeal to you more?
