This is a very addicting Empire builder. Yes, it is very early access but the dev team seems to put a lot of effort in. I've had this in my library for a while, and regularly check the updates. The team has consistently released smaller updates early on. Recently, with all the work accomplished by the team, the devs have moved into updates that introduce bigger, broader mechanics into the world. None of the ongoing work done by the dev team has caused performance issues with this game. Regardless, the game is considered Early Access and much more work is expected--at least from me, someone who sees how hard the devs work on this game. So. As a "city builder". It's very...unique. The art style is somewhat bold since it's "generic". However, they pull it off very well. It does remind me of Paper Mario--simple--but that doesn't mean boring. I like the choice. The graphics are not melting my GPU, and it allows the many complex systems to work in the background. So I personally like the art style and graphics. This does--however--make it somewhat "simple" or lacking in the city builder department. It's very easy to manipulate certain aspects--such as shop placement and general layout for cities. Which is all leading up to the end paragraph of my review :/ Lastly, with city building, I feel like it does somewhat make the wrong decisions as far as possible content--or utilizing the content it has. Gambling is a cool aspect--I've never really touched it, and if a relative has a gambling debt, I'll just pay it. I just think there is so much more room for other things than just "Gambling" and "matchmaking", and these two systems COULD have so much more depth to them, as well. For a beautiful yet simple style game--I feel like there should be more buildable shop styles/looks as well as homes for my family members. If the Devs do actually read my review<--I would say this aspect is the "weakest" in your game right now. The overall "city builder" vibe is about a 5/10 RIGHT NOW. As a "historical simulation" this is actually one of the better games, in my opinion. It's not dishonest, at least as much as it can be without getting that "M" rating hahaha. This game is very good--VERY GOOD--at simulating humans of all class and their daily lives and deaths during Imperial China--the absolute height and beauty of a great and powerful nation. This game NAILS that vibe. The people, the personality, the wants, the desires, the lust. Nails it solid. It's great to see actual lineage that goes back hundreds of years. The furthest I got so far is about 600 and some years. Same family. This game is crazy cool like that. Insane. 10/10 One of the coolest concepts for a strategy/simulator game, and they pull it off flawlessly. The combat? Well, does not exist. I like this choice. It's just simulated combat. Send your brave boys--or girls (yes, they did have SOME female units, soldiers, captains in the Imperial Chinese Army back then. Cry about it, that's a fact. Sun Tzu trained the Emperors geisha into combat ready warriors in something like two weeks. Sun Shang Xiang was a real person, she literally kept a unit of about 200 elite female bodyguards around her at all times) into combat and the game will simulate the outcome--accurately based on leadership of the armies, supplies and overall army strength. There are currently quite a few ploys and stratagems you can use against your enemies during battles--which typically take about three months or so--unless the armies are a bit bigger, and they are when you are in the endgame-then battles can be somewhat drawn out. I personally think there should be a bit more options for the military strategists during battles, currently it's mostly a "demoralize the enemy into oblivion" feel to it. Just saying, could be improved. This is the same for the actual warriors who are fighting on the "simulated" frontline. They currently have no options AFAIK to hinder the enemy and sway the outcome of the battle. Overall, I think the "battle' (there is no battle, I like that) in House of Legacy is a solid 7/10. Good, with improvement needed. For the resource management/4X/RTS aspect of it, refer to the final paragraph below. This standing alone is about a 7/10. Probably lower but the game I personally think does NOT need to explain what the actual "endgame" is. My overall and final thought on House of Legacy from someone with 250 hours played is there is a very deep, very hidden aspect of this game and it's "endgame". Kind of hard to explain, but I'll try. It's not until you are what truly is the "endgame" do you realize how "small time" you actually are. Reading the discussion forums on this game you always see the question "Is there anything left to do?" and the person who makes the post is talking about how they make millions of coin every day in this game. I'm so sorry. You are so very far away of understanding who you are in this universe it's genuinely sad. There is a point in this game where your family becomes The Imperial Chinese Government and all it's Majesty. <---That's a little less than halfway to "endgame". You at some point become the only one making the decisions both great and petty, healthcare, education, military, government, farmland, law enforcement and resource seizing. Taxation. Promotions within your Imperial China. You seriously think you have nothing left to do when you are making a few million coins every day? I spend trillions just educating the children on the eastern coast of our country every month. Trillions. I spent 650 Billion coins to the 4th Chinese Army in my latest eastern campaign. This alone is my opinion of why House of Legacy is actually one of the coolest games I've ever played. This game is the closest thing I have gotten to an actual "Dynastic Imperial Chinese Feudal Government Simulator" ever. Period. 10/10. You are the Imperial Throne of Ancient China in this game. Please buy it.
Current Situation: - I am already Emperor - All provinces conquered - Large dynasty and many clans Problems: 1. When a family member dies, there is no clear info which duty becomes vacant. 2. Clan relationship list cannot be sorted or filtered. 3. Recruiting workers requires visiting cities and checking NPCs one by one. Why This Is a Problem: - These issues create unnecessary micromanagement in late game. - As Emperor, managing an empire feels harder than progressing early game. - It discourages continuing a save after reaching endgame. Suggestions: - Add a vacant duty notification & panel - Add sorting/filtering for clan relationships - Add a global recruitment panel with filters I really enjoy the progression and career climb in early–mid game, but endgame QoL issues currently stop me from continuing to play.
Honestly, I barely know where to even start with this review, so apologies if it's all over the place lol. This is also my first ever review of a game, but I feel so strongly about this I know it's worth the effort. First of all, the game is absolutely beautiful. I love the art style, the different clothing and personalities, the buildings and decorations... It's amazing. The only "bad" things I can think of in regard to visual things, are that men and women have strangely different skin color, and there's a very limited amount of buildings and decorations, both for the cities and the family estate. I do understand that this is early access and the dev is constantly working on it, so it's not a big deal since it will surely be touched upon in the future. Second of all, the replay value of this game is HUGE. I've currently spent over 130 hours on ONE clan, but I've started another save with another approach and I've put some time into that as well. It's a bit tough in the beginning when you don't have as much money as you're used to, but after having learned what gets you the best amount of money for the least amount of effort, you'll get going again pretty fast. Lastly, I just want to touch upon how insanely addictive the game is. Despite it being in early access, I feel like there's never too little to do, even as an imperial clan, because there always is *something* to do. If not conquering provinces, you're expanding your clan, managing your farms/fiefs, finding retainers with good stats, building and decorating your estate or maybe going for the steam achievements. It never ends, and I love that. I have passionate, high hopes for this game and its future, as a person who's always been interested in imperial China and its politics and legacies. As of right now, I find the game's price tag extremely worth it and I will continue supporting the game and its development, I just can't wait for the finished product!
