Early Access Review
Life Is Feudal is a hardcore sandbox MMO('ish) game with great potential. You'll be able to build villages, farms, castles, craft armor and weapons. And not to mention - kill people with those crafted weapons. There's an arsenal of weapons waiting to be crafted, both ranged and melee, but not all of them are implemented yet.

The game is still in alpha but you can already get a feeling of what the released game will become. It can sort of be described as a mix between Wurm Online in gameplay, and Rust with it's graphics. There's a couple crucial bugs at this point (for example the server browser freeze) and the servers go down alot, but once you get on a server and start playing there's hardly any bugs bothering you - which is pretty impressive for a alpha build these days.

One thing that's important to mention though, is that this is not really a singleplayer/solo game, you would want to gather your friends or join someone else in-game when you set out to build those small, big and gigantic settlements. And you and your friends will need alot of patience in the process of building your land and skills. The world is available for you to shape and form as you like, but like the real world it's going to take lots of time to shape it.

I would definetly recommend buying the game for the sandbox fans out there, but there's no rush in doing so. I would guess the most crucial bugs are getting fixed pretty soon though, and when they do Life Is Feudal will bring you tons of hours of fun even in it's alpha stage.
