Medieval Dynasty drops you in a war-torn Middle Ages world where you fight to survive. It’s a brilliant mix of a story-driven RPG combined with traditional survival elements. It’s a challenging and engaging dive into history, full of opportunities to create your own Medieval life as you form alliances with NPCs and encounter new story situations. From building to hunting, there’s a lot to master within the game.
Though Medieval Dynasty guarantees hours of entertainment, there are plenty of other Medieval-era games or unique takes on the survival genre to try out. Whether you’re looking for another kingdom to conquer or another village to protect, here are games to play if you are a fan of Medieval Dynasty.
Updated May 11, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: We've added even more games similar to Medieval Dynasty, giving you plenty of content to play through. Additionally, we've removed a few entries that don't quite have the same vibe as Medieval Dynasty.
10 Valheim
A very similar gameplay experience to Medieval Dynasty but with a bit more action, Valheim transports you into the world of Vikings. You’ll fight to survive in the Nordic realm, building your village, foraging for resources, and crafting items like furniture to decorate and fortify your settlement.
And, of course, you’ll get to set sail in a Viking longboat, roaming the seas to discover new resources and challenge monsters. Valheim can also be played with several other people, so round up a group of friends and become the best Vikings you can be!
9 Going Medieval
At first glance, you might think Going Medieval is exactly the same as Medieval Dynasty. However, both games offer a unique story and focus on the Middle Ages era. While Medieval Dynasty is concerned with protecting and building a settlement in the woods, Going Medieval focuses on defending a fortress you’ve built from the ground up.
Since Going Medieval is focused on castle defense, it is more action-oriented than Medieval Dynasty. You also don’t play as a single character in Going Medieval as you attend to your colony as a whole.
8 Farthest Frontier
Farthest Frontier is a village-based survival game set out in the wilderness. Unlike Medieval Dynasty, you don’t play through a single first-person perspective, but must look out for your settlement as a whole. You’ll have to manage food, economy, buildings, and even sicknesses, all while navigating a unique environment.
You might also face some battle action in Farthest Frontier, as raiders may plunder your village if you’re not careful. If you’d rather avoid the fighting, though, you can also play the game in pacifist mode.
7 The Wandering Village
The Wandering Village is another survival game, like Medieval Dynasty. Though it technically takes place in a post-apocalyptic world of sorts, it has a magical, ancient aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The goal of the game is simple: build a flourishing village on the back of a giant, dragon-like creature called Onbu.
To succeed, you’ll have to organize your village to run efficiently as a society. As the game progresses, you’ll face different climates that pose challenges to your continued survival and force you to adapt. The Wandering Village is a fun, whimsical version of the survival genre.
6 Grounded
If the survival genre is what you’re looking to play, then you’ve got to try Grounded. This game, though set in modern suburbia instead of a Medieval valley, is an excellent choice if you enjoyed the survival aspects of Medieval Dynasty. You play as kids who mysteriously shrunk in their backyard and now must fight against bugs and other dangers hidden in the grass.
Grounded can be played with others, so it’s a great game to pick up with friends. Beyond the survival elements, it also has an intriguing mystery to unravel as you progress through the game. It’s a very fresh and inventive take on the survival genre.
5 Lumberjack’s Dynasty
Lumberjack’s Dynasty is very similar to Medieval Dynasty, as they’re both made by the same developer. If you don’t mind stepping out of the Medieval era and are looking for a similar gameplay experience, then Lumberjack’s Dynasty will definitely satisfy you.
Just as in Medieval Dynasty, in this game, you’re looking to survive in the woods as you build your legacy, repair buildings, and befriend NPCs. Specifically, you’re seeking to become the Lumberjack king, forming a business that will last for generations to come.
4 V Rising
Close your eyes and picture this; Medieval Dynasty, but with vampires. That's V Rising! In this isometric vampire survival game, you will build and expand your castle while conquering various bosses around the world.
Upon defeating a boss, you will be rewarded with a new vampire ability that you can use to further stretch your power. V Rising can be played solo, with others, and even against other players.
3 My Time At Portia
Next up, we have My Time At Portia. This is a cute, open-world farming sim set in the town of Portia. Rather than being left to your own devices, you'll get to help rebuild the town around you.
If you're a big fan of both Medieval Dynasty and Stardew Valley, then My Time In Portia blends the two games together. Like Medieval Dynasty, My Time In Portia is also single-player, allowing you to sit back, relax and play alone.
2 Dinkum
Dinkum is similar to My Time In Portia, but set in a world inspired by the Australian outback. This is far from a Medieval valley, but the overall premise is the same; survive and explore!
Like Medieval Dynasty, you will get the chance to make your own town and attract new residents to live there. Dinkum also allows you to play with friends! You can visit their towns and participate in mini-games such as Emu racing together.
1 Hinterland
Last but certainly not least, we have Hinterland. This game is a bit older, first launching in 2008. The goal in Hinterland is quite similar to that in Medieval Dynasty; grow your village and protect the villagers.
In Hinterland, you play as a leader of the settlement, in charge of building homes and recruiting people to join you. Hinterland is perfect for those who enjoy a more nostalgic feeling video game that still has plenty of content to play through.
