I am the kind of person who will spend hours on A Wiki of Ice and Fire just looking at families’ coats of arms and reading their heraldic descriptions. This is what I consider fun. So when Manor Lords started me off by having me design my own coat of arms, I knew I was in for a good time.

Manor Lords is a medieval town-builder strategy game. You’re a petty lordling who must build up your town, its resources, and its militia in order to drive out rival lords who’ve claimed territory that’s rightfully yours. Manor Lords launched in early access on Steam and PC Game Pass and has already sold over a million copies, a staggering feat considering it’s only been available for less than a week. Clearly, there’s an appetite for this flavor of game, so I spent some time with it just to see how good the food tastes.

First and foremost, Manor Lords is a solo-developed early access game. There are plenty of warnings that there will be bugs and missing or imperfect features. My biggest pet peeve with the game relates to its UI. Unless you’re placing buildings in the middle of an open field, it can be very hard to see where things are. I’m not the most aesthetically-minded manor lady; I place resource-specific buildings close to their intended source. That means when I plop my foraging hut next to a berry deposit in the middle of a forest, it essentially disappears. To find it, I have to either zoom in and search for it or wave my mouse around hoping to highlight it. I’d love to be able to turn on an interface that displays all my buildings or at least have the ability to drag and select a specific area to see any buildings in that section.
