Manor Lords publisher rejects early access concerns as "distorted"

By all accounts, medieval Steam city-building game Manor Lords can be considered one of the big successes of 2024. It might not have soared to quite the highs of Palworld, Helldivers 2, or free games like The First Descendant, but it's tough to complain about two million sales in its first three weeks, a peak player count of 173,000, and a very positive Steam review score of 88% across more than 43,000 user responses. Responding to a criticism of the game's early access launch, its publisher Hooded Horse says the team is "thrilled beyond belief" with its performance so far.

The sale begins on Thursday June 27th and runs until July 11th. That's a full two weeks of sun and soulslikes, beach balls and beat 'em ups, paddling pools and puzzle games. I don't know any other objects associated with this mythological "summer" people talk about, I'm from Ireland. But I can tell you at least some of the games that'll be in the sale, according to some bargain-teasing by Valve.

Everyone loves a hero—but a hero can be hard to find in a medieval city builder where randomly generated citizens mostly just perform menial tasks like chopping firewood and lugging corpses around all day.
