In an impressive display of indie success, Hooded Horse’s and Slavic Magic’s city-building sensation, Manor Lords, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing 1 million copies sold during its opening weekend. The game, which became the most wishlisted title on Steam before its launch, also achieved a concurrent player peak of over 170,000 users on the platform.

Released on April 29, 2024, Manor Lords was swift to capture the attention of strategy and city-building enthusiasts worldwide, accumulating top-rated reviews and a lot of player love and reverence. The game’s positive reception among players has been evident, reflected in its current “Very Positive” Steam review score of 89% based on over 18,000 reviews.

In my Manor Lords Review as “not just a great video game, but the baseline to which every other Total War, Age of Empires, Cities: Skylines, Stronghold etc. will be compared from now on”.
