TLDR: Remember Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable? I think this game is the last chance you have to experience the little something special those games had, but... It’s hard to say if this game will work for you. It took me a few hours with it to form a clear opinion. My first impression was quite bad, but after sticking with it and understanding it, it worked... for me, at least. The thing is, even if you liked games like B&W or Fable, chances are you’ve sugarcoated your memories of them. Those games were janky, even if they had something magical to them. This game is the exact same thing: a whimsical game with dark humor. CONCRETELY, think about the Black & White DLC, Creature Isle, but you don’t have the creature. Instead, you have heroes, units you can possess, a bit like the creatures of Dungeon Keeper. Keep your expectations in check: this "ARPG" part is ultra-basic. Then there’s the city-building. At first glance, this part of the game seems lackluster, but if you persist, it’s actually really well done, with some genuinely good ideas. You can basically mix buildings, but it’s far from clear at the start. Also, the whole economy of the game revolves around collecting ingredients, cooking dishes, and selling them an odd concept and an anecdotal minigame, but why not? Outside of that, while exploring the map, you’ll encounter classic quests, the "doremi" stones, and the typical side quests you’d find in B&W. OK, Peter Molyneux has oversold every game his name was linked to. There were real failures among them (Godus, The Cube), but heck, there were also games that were legit masterpieces (Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Fable). All those games had some kind of jankiness to them, even the best. So which is Masters of Albion? Honestly, I need more time with the game to form a definitive opinion. I started thinking it was dead on arrival, but after a few hours, I personally found some of the charm of the old classics this game evokes, flawed, whimsical, but charming.

tl;dr I baked a rat pie, kicked some chickens and got insulted by a gargoyle in a graveyard. 11/10 For a first day of Early Access - it's not bad. Masters of Albion has its obvious flaws and clearly needs polishing, but expecting a fully finished, fully optimized product on day one of EA is both unfair and, frankly, misguided. I get the impression that quite a few people showed up ready to leave negative reviews purely because of Peter Molyneux's past missteps, which isn't exactly fair either. The team is genuinely putting in the work to deliver something enjoyable. So if you're expecting a 100% refined experience - don't buy it YET. Give them time to fix and polish things, then come back and judge the final result. If you're comfortable with beta-testing, providing feedback, and overlooking rough edges - there's nothing to worry about; the gameplay loop is genuinely fun. It's definitely not Sandwich-Making Simulator 2026. Rant over. As for the actual review... it's a very pleasant blend of Black & White, Fable, and Dungeon Keeper. As someone who loves those titles and spent half of her childhood with them, I'm quite happy with what Masters of Albion brings to the table. It's a god game that borrows a number of distinctive elements from its inspirations and attempts to fold them into something new. You get town management and (re)building, assigning roles to villagers, work systems (including cooking, weapon crafting and other mini-games), recruiting heroes, learning spells, day/night cycle and even wave-based/tower defense elements. The first moments may feel strange or even disappointing, but trust me - later on the game opens up, becoming more expansive, complex, and genuinely fun. Altogether, it forms a surprisingly cohesive mix set in Albion, complete with that signature Fable-style sense of humor. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶ I was one of the lucky few who got picked in the "wildest screams" contest. Hearing my own squeak echo through the city during an undead raid - a priceless experience. (っ˘ω˘ς )

I believe people are way too harsh about their reviews these days. The game has it's issues but it genuinely feels fun and you can get lost in it. Fable like vibe but also has it's own feel. If you are very picky about Early Access titles you may want to hold off. Most frustrating thing for me at the moment is the camera being stuck and not being able to rotate it freely. You can select building placement but the first few have been pre placed You can also move your buildings around after they are placed/built Not a food making simulator. You make everything including weapons that you eventually use in battle as your hero Skill tree for everything Day/night system. Management/production in the day, base defense at night The truth is the game has a slow start and it's very basic in those first hours but it get's far more interesting and complex as you go. It is currently not optimized properly but it is worth the small asking price if you are a fan of Fable or just want to try something different. A $22 game with this much to offer is worth it in my opinion.

Im reviewing this under the context of a game being sold as Early Access with an estimated 1 year of further active development before it reaches final release. It feels weird to have to say that but it's become apparent that many people on steam simply don't understand the premise of Early Access and what it's for. To be fair there are also examples of developers who don't seem to understand either which is part of the problem. This is a game in still development and the developers are actively listening to feedback (especially on the Discord) The initial presentation (aside from some performance issues) is very good. This feels like a true spiritual successor to Fable. The style is there. The animation is somewhat there (not quite as polished or refined). The voice work and silliness is all there. The performance feels like it should be better. For context the game struggles to hit 60fps at 4K on my setup even with DLSS set to performance. Interiors are fine but in the open it doesn't feel its as well optimised as it should be. Credit to them for including DLSS though in early access as plenty of developers fail to do that. I think they need to do a pass on sorting this out as a priority as it will be an immediate negative for many people as a result. Only played an hour so far but i like the gameplay. I enjoy the mechanics of building, farming, creating produce to sell. Its simple but interactive and fun. What i have seen from the combat is pretty much what you would expect and lines up with everything you have seen in trailers. I don't think there is any over promise or mis-information here in the sales materials. I think they have been very clear about what this game is and what they want it to be. If you are a fan of Peter Molineux games or more importantly the original Lionhead games from back in the day then there is plenty of that soul in here. This game has every bit of potential to shape up to be something really special that captures much of their spirit, humor an style. This isn't black and white though. I have seen people complain because it seems like they saw a god hand and thought it would be a Black and White game. Neither is this a Fable game. There are elements of both in fusion working together but to go in assuming its a modern take on either of those is going to result in the wrong first impressions. This is a title that serves to stand on its own while taking some of the DNA from those titles. And as mentioned above. It's early access. They want constructive feedback. They want input from players. I'm very interested to see how they react and respond over the next few months. I'm interested to see the cadence of releases and how quickly they can polish up some of the key sticking points that people are raising. Only time will tell how this all shapes up and how much 22Cans deliver on their promises. Unfortunately they have a bit of a hill to climb because or Peter Molineux's renowned reputation for over promising and under delivering - but also because 22Cans have not yet managed to fully deliver on a product. There have been a number of games launched into early access or promises thrown out there that were never fulfilled. For this to succeed there has to come a point where no matter how many good ideas these guys have - none of that matters if they can't focus on delivering a consistent and finished product. For me right now this is a yes because they are delivering a very solid first chapter and it so far lives up to what they have pitched. Yes there are areas that need tightening up and polish but there is plenty to enjoy here despite that.

Godus + Black & White, but in Fable with a fun economic twist. Peter Molyneux, the prequel to Todd Howard, overpromised a lot, but he did good games also. MoA is his redemption story after so many sweet little lies. Now, all it needs is a giant bipedal animal that can cast magic. I cannot wait to see this game evolving and what the team is going to cook!
