Strategy fans, a new medieval strategy game is ready to test your leadership. City States: Medieval now has a playable demo on Steam, blending RTS gameplay with deep grand strategy systems for players who love trade, diplomacy, and tactical warfare.
Developed by Reverie World Studios and published with indie.io, this grand strategy title puts you in control of a rising medieval city-state. Success isn’t just about armies — it’s about building economic networks, managing alliances, and making long-term political decisions that shape your power across the map.
A standout feature is your Hero, the living center of your strategy. When present in a city, gameplay shifts into real-time control: fast construction, direct army command, and hands-on defense. When your Hero travels, the game continues on the world map, but progress slows and conflicts resolve strategically. This creates a constant balance between home development and expansion.
The Steam demo covers the opening chapter of the Republic of Genoa campaign, offering 3.5–4 hours of meaningful gameplay across regions from Italy to the Holy Land. Players experience how trade, diplomacy, and warfare drive medieval growth.
If you enjoy RTS games, grand strategy, and historical city-building, the City States: Medieval demo on Steam is worth adding to your list.
