Early Review“City Tales: Medieval Era shows that city-building games can still shine with strong atmosphere, accessibility, and well-paced ideas. Starting as a calm kingdom-building experience, it gradually reveals depth through companion stories, flexible difficulty, and a satisfying expansion system. While not reinventing the genre, it refines its ideas, making it a great choice for both newcomers and veterans.”

Early Review“City Tales - Medieval Era is not only a truly successful debut from the small development team at Irregular Shapes but also one of the best city builders currently available on the market. The game pleasant audiovisual presentation gives it a fantastic, almost idyllic atmosphere, making the hours spent playing pass by completely unnoticed.”

Early Review“I love all the little changes that have been made. I think City Tales – Medieval Era is a great, peaceful city builder. The music is perfect, the visuals are great, and the companion system is wonderful. I like the new pacing, the new districting, and the massive amounts of additions that were made. Overall, I found City Tales – Medieval Era to be a pleasant time, and I applaud these developers for such a well-made game with a strong 1.0. If you enjoy cozy city builders with fun little side companion stories, this is the perfect one for you.”
