I want to buy it but I want to know more about how it plays

Can you describe the gameplay please?

I suggest you search for YouTube tutorials - one good channel for this game is Ic0n . Or reading posts on this forum will give you a sense for what folks enjoy & struggle with.

It's a medieval-themed colony management sim with free-form 3D building and terraforming. The basic mechanics and controls are pretty similar to Rimworld, if you've played that.

You have a relatively small number of people (caps out at about 22-24), and a fair amount of direct control over them. You need to build living and working areas (which is done entirely free-form, no prefabs) and furnish them with beds, crafting stations, etc. You need to set your colonist's jobs and schedules and manage food and resources. Some activities can be automated (e.g., farming, crafting) and some require you to issue orders each time (e.g,, mining and building). You can only have one settlement, and (currently) you can't attack or conquer your neighbors, but you can send out trade caravans to buy or sell stuff from them, and merchants will periodically visit your settlement.

By default, your colony will periodically get raided, and will need to build defenses and train your people in combat; however, you can play in Peaceful mode if you don't want to deal with them (or just turn off trebuchets, which makes the raids less dangerous and makes it possible to handle them with a more defensive strategy). There are options to customize individual settlers and to design custom starting conditions for new games. Currently, there is no overarching goal besides "build a prosperous colony with good defenses and keep your people happy".

Overall I recommend it, although the later-game raids can be a pain to deal with, especially if you leave trebuchets enabled.

I brought a few months back and it was worth the sale price. I had a good bit of fun but it can be frustrating at times but overall good. Plus it was easier to get into this instead of Rimworld

Easier Rimworld with less things happening and game being little more predictable. And there are no interactions between characters as they are in Rimworld. So your settlers will not kill each other in a cat brawl and generally they dont seem to hate each other. Rimworld is more about storytelling and interactions, Going medieval is more about building actual buildings.

It's the most flexible strategies game to build keep,trap,heroes to protect your colony.However the speed of character and some bonus attack are upon perks which can't be control. I've 2 high level super speed sword masters which can be considerated one man army. The sad thing is that they can be dead by killed or by old age and lost forever.Hope the developer do something to inherit their perks or skills.(School systems or legacy perk books might be good).I just pause the game for a while until there is any progressive because I don't want to lost them.

I use round big keep for easy ambush&retreat for my melee heroes in the maze.But let the enemies path so narrow to slow down raid.I use my archers like a decoy protected by 2-3 level of merlon on the tower to pin enemies archers for my melee heroes to ambush!! (I love that we can let someone operate door from under ground like mechanic door for military strategy so that even civilian without melee or archer skill can be used)

nice game in a few years ??? game crashing, bugs, etc ,imagine after 100-200 hours build your castle the game it falls, waste of money and time ,pity ( i have good pc and many games in my libary)

Honestly in my opinion, I'm not interested in talking system much. It just increase CPU load and may increase bug as well. I'm just interested in Freedom 3D RTS with good architecture design and developing character's ability to be used in your strategy.and apply some civilian skill with war, Ex animal husbando, I train big group of dogs and wolfs as hounds for hunting down at the end of battle because of their speed(not good much but sometime OK)(During medieval time snake, bee, scorpion were used in battle as well. if developer add poison in game their game will be more interesting). Hope may be something more interesting in the future such as fire,poison(botany skill) which can temporary slow down or blind enemies.
water is interesting but may be caused a big load to CPU as well(as each character interact with water in real-time isn't easy unlike non RTS game such as minecraft!!!(the affect on GPU load are common knowledge) both fire and water are big load and can cause some players to say good bye to the game in low spec PC as well.

PS. It's feel like some people try to mislead the game and compare the game to be rim world ???and most of them are always blamed or discredit the game. I suspect that were these marketing? Why don't they just turn back to play their game if they don't like this game? There is no need to develop game to those style which can cause more load and more bug to developer.I love how unique of this game in RTS or building style(ex.sim city) however game graphic design aren't match with talking system anymore. If they really want to develop talking system they should improve character graphic design to be more realistic or more lovely.

whatever the game graphic design is already ok for me: I love how unique of the game in architecture,planting, farming,resource management and RTS style
hope there will be school or other several system to develop characters to rebuild heroes in the future!! ex some perks can be transfer in some factions/occupation/skill level unlock like church, athlete ,Cannibalism etc...
