If you've been keeping an eye on what's been hitting big on Steam this past week, this week's Steam top seller probably shouldn't be a huge surprise. Charming city building game Going Medieval, which is set in the Dark Ages and sees you build a settlement in a "dangerous new land reclaimed by nature", was already showing signs of being a hit on Valve's platform - and now it's hit the number one spot in its latest weekly top sellers list.

As SteamDB records, Foxy Voxel's new city builder, which hit Steam Early Access on June 1, has snagged the top spot in the week of its debut. It's a charming-looking new PC game, that brings something new to the genre with a low-poly art style reminiscent of Old School RuneScape or Valheim, and fun fortress building mechanics.

You'll have to not only create a fortified settlement capable of fending off nasties that might try to take your settlers down, but also keep its people fed, watered, and happy. We've included a trailer for you to check out below in case you're keen to see it in action.

Going Medieval looked like a charming take on the 'games like Rimworld' genre when we saw it last month - which, hey, is there actually a name for that genre yet? I'm not actually sure 'city-building games' is right, but it's a similar vibe. Either way, Going Medieval has entered Steam Early Access, and it's already proving a hit among the audience on Valve's platform.

As of this post, Going Medieval is currently the top-selling game on Steam, ahead of games like GTA 5, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and fellow new releases like Necromunda: Hired Gun and the 1.0 version of Griftlands. The metrics of the Steam top sellers chart are always a bit nebulous, so we just know that for some stretch of time today, Going Medieval was outselling those other games. We'll see how Going Medieval ranks on the full, weekly top seller chart this weekend.

Going Medieval has already reached a concurrent player count of 6,107 just a few hours after launch - not bad for a small-scale game. More importantly, the early reviews are quite effusive, and the game already sits at a 'very positive' rating.
