Developer 1M Bits Horde and publisher META Publishing have kicked off the open alpha test for Nested Lands, a ruthless medieval RPG with survival elements and in-depth village building.
If you want to survive everything this world throws at you, from bandits and plague to cold, thirst and hunger, you will need to band with other survivors. Lead them, take care of their needs and assign tasks, and in return they will help you with gathering, crafting, building, mastering your skills, and more.
The game offers dozens of upgradable buildings and hundreds of items to craft and customize, including farms and animals – and it is up to you to shape your settlement as you see fit. But don’t let your growing dynasty blind you — hostile forces lurk nearby, ready to spill your blood, and plague is just around the corner.
“This Alpha round is designed to test players on how far they can extend their settlement and how autonomous it would be. Villagers will build, craft, and sustain themselves, but only if guided properly. As the village grows, so will the impact of the player’s decisions, as they will begin to shape the lives of each villager. The world is brutal, so be prepared for bandits to raid the village. Fend off their attacks, reinforce the settlement, and most importantly, SURVIVE THE PLAGUE.”
