Sengoku Dynasty has started its Early Access on Steam. The title is advertised as a mix of several genres. Set in medieval Japan, we must build our own settlement in a war-torn region.
What kind of game is Sengoku Dynasty?
- Players build their own empire in an open world and try to survive in it
- Using the crafting system, players can create tools, weapons, meals, and medicine
- The village must be defended, with a variety of weapons available from spears to katanas
- We can either play alone or with up to four players in cooperative multiplayer mode
Initially, players start with few resources and build the first settlement. They must keep the needs of the population in mind. To provide them with food, players must, for example, go hunting or farm.
In return, you can assign tasks to the residents: for example, they can gather resources or implement certain construction projects. This way, you must take care not only of yourself but also of the population.
Among the buildings are not only houses but also watchtowers or even breweries.
In the trailer, you can not only see the buildings but also the biomes of Sengoku Dynasty:
It is even possible to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives. This allows players to express their own playstyle in the city-building simulation.
With its gameplay mechanics and assigned genres, Sengoku Dynasty reminds many users of Medieval Dynasty.

The community rating is currently balanced
In the reviews, there are many players who already find Sengoku Dynasty better than Medieval Dynasty. This game is also a mix of survival game and life simulation, which boasts a full 90 percent on Steam.
However, Sengoku Dynasty is far from this rating. Currently, the game scores only 63% (via steam.com). As a reason, users cite the early access status: there are still not many contents, the performance is below average, and there are too many bugs present.
The combat is also said to not feel quite right yet. For example, there are no special actions like blocking attacks. Additionally, the characters are mute. According to users, there needs to be a voice sync to make the game more immersive.
