Today, a new building game starts on Steam, which particularly reminds of Mount & Blade with its graphics. Everything you need to know can be found here.
Which game is this about? Bellwright is a new building game from the developer studio Donkey Crew. The inspiration for their new game was drawn from the titles Mount & Blade and Rimworld, and you can see this in the graphics and gameplay.
As a character and player, you become the leader of the revolution and want to rebel against an evil queen. In the medieval setting, you gather allies, build outposts and settlements, and try to free your homeland piece by piece from the terrible ruler.
The game is supposed to launch today on Steam, as recently announced by a trailer:
Who is behind it? Donkey Crew is a studio made up of a group of modders from the Mount-and-Blade community.
With Bellwright, the developer studio wants to take a fresh start. In March 2020, they launched their first project, Last Oasis, which received quite a bit of negative criticism. Among other things, because players eventually believed that the developers were distancing themselves from the project to focus on other things.
What can you expect from Bellwright? Bellwright promises to do many things better than its predecessor. Graphically, the game definitely reminds of its inspiration Mount & Blade. The gameplay, on the other hand, is inspired by Rimworld.
In essence, Bellwright is a building game in Unreal Engine 5 that incorporates many good aspects of the genre and a third-person perspective. You also place buildings in third-person before they are constructed by NPCs. When it comes to foraging for food, the NPCs are also very self-sufficient and simply look for what they need.
More information on Bellwright and the game mechanics has been compiled for you by MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus after he was able to test the game in advance.
