Survive the 13th Century

Bastide is a medieval city-building strategy game where you must guide a vulnerable village of peasants toward survival and prosperity. Starting with almost nothing, you will manage resources, assign vital jobs, and expand your meager settlement into a thriving, fortified town. But beware: starvation, disease, brutal winters, and ruthless bandits are constantly at your gates. Careful and efficient management of your people is essential, as danger can strike at any time.

Key Features:

• From Peasant Village to Fortified Town: Assign your villagers to a wide variety of jobs to gather food, manage resources, and construct buildings. Organizing your labor force efficiently is the only way to ensure your people's survival and continued growth.

• Harvest, Hunt, and Husbandry: Take advantage of the wilderness around your settlement. Hunt wild animals or raise livestock in pastures to provide your people with life-saving resources, including meat for food, and wool and hides for clothing, tools, and winter warmth.

• Play Your Way: Whether you want a punishing medieval survival experience or a relaxing city-builder, Bastide adapts to you. Tweak multiple difficulty settings or disable enemy invasions entirely to tailor the game to your preferred playstyle.

• Endless Replayability: No two landscapes are the same. Procedurally generated maps offer endless variety and new geographical challenges with every single playthrough.

• Powered by Unreal Engine 5: Experience the harsh beauty of the Middle Ages brought to life with modern, next-generation rendering.
