What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Bellfortis is a so-called grand strategy game, designed to be simple to understand, but still packed with complex rules and possibilities. We decided to work with the community to fine-tune the gameplay and content. We're launching Bellfortis in Early Access to ensure the game delivers the best possible experience at release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until we're 100% satisfied with it. We expect about 6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version we are preparing at least two new big campaigns (one will be a large pan-European campaign), several new factions, new single battles, modding support, a map editor and more. Also, localization in several languages and Steam achievements will be added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has three fully playable campaigns from Central Europe and the British Isles. The length of one campaign is several hours per faction, and there are several factions in each campaign. There are also several realtime single battles that can be played for time and score.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't plan to change it yet, but it may increase slightly with the amount of content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Like we already do, we monitor and communicate with our community on all channels such as Steam forums, our official Discord server and all main social networks. We hope that the community will help us improve the gameplay and economy of the game, as well as inspire new content.”

About This Game

Choose one side, stabilize your country, subjugate the surrounding rulers and build a strong and successful empire in this history inspired strategy game from the wild times of the early Middle Ages, when the first European kingdoms were trying to strengthen their power and resist the raids of savage tribes from the east and north.

How you achieve this is up to you - destroy your enemies by force or by clever politics and help those in need to win friends who will support you and will be devoted to you. Bellfortis combines a tactical turn-based map with realtime action combat.

This game is for lovers of strategy, medieval times and games like Total War: Medieval II or Crusader Kings III who, like the author himself, unfortunately don't always have hundreds of hours of free time and would like to play something similar but more intense with less time grueling gameplay, so it's more active and intense with arcade battles.

The game is in the middle of development. The images and content are still far from representing the final state of the game.

Game features:

  • Transform yourself into a powerful ruler, play the game as a grand strategy, build provinces, recruit strong armies, conquer territories by force or clever politics.

  • Use diplomats to improve relations, gain allies or even entire kingdoms. Spies, in turn, can help you gain information or even weaken the enemy.

  • Take on opponents who make strategic decisions based on individual behavior. Some will be peaceful and focus on the betterment of their empire, others will act like dangerous conquerors.

  • The world is affected by dozens of random events, some of which may have a positive effect on you, others negative. You can ignore them or use them to your advantage. Although ignoring the plague is probably not a good solution.. ;)

  • Unlock new military units by constructing important military buildings in your provinces. Recruit them into your armies and use them in devastating battles.

  • You culminate your efforts by winning real-time battles, where your armies clash with the enemy's in the heat of battle on the battlefield. Choose clever tactics or simply send your troops on the offensive.

  • If you're defending, use defensive objects received from research. What will barrels full of oil and your incendiary arrows do to enemy soldiers? Experiment! :)

Enjoy the game! :)
