Should I get this or Manor Lords?

Why can't we have games about ancient Africa? Always about medieval European stories.

Both completely diff games, i bought both and love them equally.

Same. I got both and am pleased so far. Manor Lords is quite basic and quick. I finished a sandbox playthrough in about 7 hours. Bellwright is proving to be much more.

i bought both and i can honestly say it was money well spent. both games are worth it. especially since they are on sale

if you like rpg most , bellwright , if you like banished a like genre , manor lords

both early access but i try manorlord its beautifully optimized maxed setting and less bug than this bellwright now corupted 70d save file

What i am concern about is if the developers abandon the game which these developers have done before on several games.

[Jivebot]

Same dilemna but from what I could tell Manor Lords was more of a City Sim/Stategic War game where you don't get to actually control your own character.

I preferred this one for the more "Personal Touch" of being able to personally butcher bandits. Hehehe

I have both. I ran out of content in Manor Lords very fast. I'm not putting it down. Its a GORGEOUS Early Accessgame, and instead of rushing half-azz, they are doing a stand-up job of very few bugs, smooth UI, and the polish of what is there, is showing quite nicely. It just needs more content. Half the events in the game, you can't even do half the interactions with them, as the features do not exist yet.

As has been said, Manor Lords is a city builder... think, Banished... and then think it again. It's slow paced, but has a nice combat feature. It has a fun 3rd person camera, but it's really just a camera... very nice camera.

ML just came on game pass so if you have that you could play that there

Am tossing up manor lords. Really want to get it at that 25% off price. But right now thoroughly enjoying bellwright. There’s a ton of content and it’s seriously fun

[Lord von Games]

I played Manor Lords for 5 hours... the last 1-2 hours the only thing I was seeing, interactions that were grayed out (not implemented) and all the buildings were done, with many not made by the devs yet. It IS going to be awesome... it's just kinda limited right now.

I own both, and like them both.

They are absolutely nothing alike (Except the medieval theme)

My thoughts on them both....

Manor Lords is FAR more polished, looks far nicer and runs better.. however it has much less content than Bellwright.

Bellwright is more engaging and has far more content.. yet nowhere near as polished and can be pretty rough.

Try "Conan Exiles" it's set in a "sunnier" climate.

Manorlords is a city builder, like Banished but with 3rd person camera (not control). Bellwright is a 1st person survival with NPC towns, like Medieval Dynasty, but with combat and dynamic gameplay. Also the map in Bellwright is HUGE.
Since I like exploration and I get bored with typical City Building games, I got Bellwright. It's an amazing game. I love games like NoManSky, Conan Exiles & KC:D and this one hits those similarities.

In my opinion Manor Lords has more going for it but is also more buggy right now with several game breaking bugs.

Bellwright is a decent indie game but its simpler, less detailed and badly missing features it needs. Given the amount of walking in this game if any game needed mounts this was it.

If you can afford both they are worth it. If you can only buy one for the foreseeable future I'd get Manor Lords.
