Bellfortis Steam Charts & Stats

Fun simple strategy you can sink some time into. And the developer is always commenting and updating! (I probably sunk 5+ hours in the demo also). The new Europe map just came out and it's the best map so far!

BELLFORTIS a very detailed kingdom building and expanding strategy game with major variables going on under the hood. Very accessible and easy to get into bringing the strategic gaming joy after a few turns as i see the results of my choices from sending in troops too soon and having them suffer a devastating loss to the opposite where i take the proper time to grow my kingdom to have the necessary units to get the job done which could be at the request of a neighboring ally who will reward me in countless ways from higher prestige to a gifting of gold and or military units. Immigrants will show up which can bring all sorts of bonuses if you welcome them such as a new engineer with its own advantages. Combat reminds me more of DOMINIONS than TOTAL WAR but with more control where i have directional and formation control before and during battles. Unit losses can be replaced afterwards and depending on what buildings are already constructed you can add different types such as spearmen, knights, rock slingers, bowmen, calvary, catapults etc. A mixed unit army supporting each others strengths is the way to go otherwise melee units will get butchered by enemy long range fire. Just like in real life as your kingdom grows it will become less efficient due to its increased size and the issues of bureaucratic growth. Graphics are great for tabletop lovers with plenty of gruesome blood soaking warfare and bloodcurdling audio. During more calm moments of running my kingdom i was surrounded by the relaxing music of another era timeless and echoing across the winds of time. Maps are humongous really giving a historical global scale of interconnecting empires which interact with lifelike diplomacy where other kingdoms will choose many different ways to interact with you including making offers to buy parts of your kingdom with any troops that may be stationed there. Veteran units will offer their services which can come in very handy when it comes to reinforcing your forces. All in all BELLFORTIS is a joy to play and easy to learn yet complicated in all the right ways like a beautiful romantic partner. BELLFORTIS, Buy it! Play it! Be AMAZED! MESMERIZED! and totally IMMERSED! in exciting thought provoking strategic, diplomatic gameplay and tactical combat as if your suddenly living an episode of THE LAST KINGDOM and VIKINGS.
