I really want to give Medieval Dynasty a good rating, and here are some positive reasons why:

The graphics are nice - all seasons and sunrise/sunset are beautiful and really immersive.
The developer has included some QoL features that are extremely helpful - unstuck button in main menu for when you're lodged up against a tree and can't move.
The idea that your village is peaceful is good for those that don't like combat as a challenge.
The different resource types and crafting system is nice and complex.

However, here is why it got a no from me:

The animations are extremely repetitive. For example. trees will be cut into logs the exact same way every time. crafting fertiliser has the exact same animation where it doesn't show you the initial resource (rot or manure) so you're staring at some waving hands for 5 mins.
The game is huge grind, whether it is running from one side of the map to the other (unless you want to pay a ridiculous price for the caravan system) or cutting down thousands of tree, hunting, crafting etc. It's just far too much of a grind for me, especially in the beginning.
Making money is repetitive and what is strange is that selling your wares at a shop is extremely late game. I don't understand why you have to wait so long to open up a shop - my guess is also because NOBODY every visits your village. Same thing, why does it take so long (end game) to build a tavern. It feels very restrictive as to how you want to play your game and style.
The game content is very bland, again, you never get attacked (not even by a lone wolf or bear), there are some mediocre quests which don't really feel like they have much impact on your village.
The management system is ok, but gets messy quickly, especially when everyone is procreating. For example, you will get workers complaining of resources not being available - because it's no longer the season of course, so you have to constantly rearrange their work intensity. I have several warnings that villagers don't have resources for ores because I don't always do a mining run. but when I do, I'd like them to get to work straight away. Again, you have to really micromanage this in a system designed to help with micromanaging! Why not have a priority system where if a resource isn't available, that work intensity is invested into a priority, as opposed to having the village idle and complain that a resource isn't available.
The developer just implemented seasonal foraging for herbalist, but hasn't implemented the same system for farming, again, you have to rearrange your farming strategy for every season and it becomes tedious,

My main gripe is the lack of immersiveness in your village, which should feel like a trade hub with visitors at the settlement phase. Overall, it's very boring and a huge grind, even when you do have a donkey and good tools.

I dont recommend the game, Trailer wise it caught my attention and looked fun but the gameplay is lacking. There is a lot of missing elements and the anti modding terms in a singeplayer/co-op game. It's a game i really want to love but at this point i just cant.

Medieval Dynasty is exactly my type of game I could play for hours and not get bored.

What I love about it:
- the story is quite catchy and interesting to follow
- the content has some sneaky fun moments. I won't spoil them here tho'. :)
- I love the building aspect. I love designing my own village and decorating it. Plus also having the villagers there living their life.
- I love the sceneric views of mountains and waterfalls etc.
- I like that there isn't much violence. But it also can create some challenge by tweaking how much HP and damage animals for an example do.
- and i love playing it with friends

What I miss in this game mostly is more maps that you could play in co-op (maybe even procedural world generation).
There is currently only 2 maps available and 1 of them is which you can play in co-op.

I really hope the development team is improving this game and adding new content.
I'm looking forward to all the updates they will make and hope it will bring me back again and again to enjoy this game.
