Bellwright has a fantastic central premise. Your medieval home country is being pillaged and ruined by a despotic king. By traveling between boroughs and settlements, you gradually raise a small militia, using them to capture patches of territory. Gather resources. Build houses. Forge an upstart economy. Over time, you unite your fledgling townships under a single banner and march on the evil empire - it's an RPG, survival game, and medieval strategy saga all in one. Manor Lords might have stolen the spotlight. Age of Empires has the historic RTS crown. But Bellwright remains one of Steam's best hidden gems, and now it's bigger and better thanks to a whirlwind anniversary update.
