[@jeijeimaster]

Excellent review!! Thank you :D

[@GoblinGaming13]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@matiaskohlmaier4412]

Excellent review. Fair points and well argumented. Unfortunately i won't buy today, but will defintely have it on my radar thanks to you.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the review, hope you stay tuned for more! Sengoku Dynasty will only get better with time, so don't worry about getting it right away :).

[@alexandermarksstein8611]

Just FYI they dropped a hot fix last night or yesterday. To fix some issues. Also more work is being done on the game. They are accepting feedback on their discord both good and bad. Overall it's a fun game needs some tweaks and polish but it's a solid game will only improve in time to.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Yeah, they are and that's a good thing, the game itself is a lot of fun to play.

[@arawn2636]

I have played this over 900 hours since early access and I still enjoy playing it almost every day.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Yeah, it's very addicting indeed.

[@misitzi5780]

Why?

[@goncaloferreira2952]

​@@misitzi5780 why not

[@Deepblue417]

is it better you think than medieval dynasty? as far as replayability and longevity goes? I have 400 hrs in MD and I bought SD but deciding if its worth the switch to invest time into at this current state

[@GoblinGaming13]

@@Deepblue417 Current state I'd say it's not as good as Medieval Dynasty, because it may lack some endgame activities - the game is still in "early stages" of updates. I'd say it is still worth giving a try, play it for a few hours and see if it has an appeal for you. For now though, it's still a bit away from MD in terms of content.

Thank you for watching!

[@ashleynv]

if i was playing with a friend is there an endgame?

[@lennyteske1864]

I had zero bugs after 25 hours. I think it depends on the computer you have. If you have a decent gaming computer, you might but if you have a pretty new computer, this game runs great. Graphics are amazing, Gameplay if top notch. I was obsessed with Medieval Dynasty and I LOVED IT. I didn't think there would a game that could top it but this game is better. The story is just OK, but other than that, I actually get excited to play every day. I am 45 and I LOVE THIS GAME. I am sad that it hasn't got more attention. It deserves it. This review didn't touch base on the realism with the culture. Everything from the plants, types of trees, and the number of dishes you can make and eat has to be in the hundreds. The houses, the wood/bamboo, types of plants, clothes and the story, is very authentic. Overall I would give this game a 9/10 if you are in to these types of games. I love to chop trees, mine, hunt, and build my home and town. If you like games like Enshrouded, The Forest, Conan, Valheim, Green Hell, etc... this will be right up your alley. Trust me.

[@GoblinGaming13]

It's true, I didn't mention the realism this game definitely has, thank you for telling me, I think I can incorporate that in my videos! The devs are actually really nice and they listen to their community, I saw the fixes are coming out pretty fast for all the bugs too.

[@filipsalamon]

I load my old village as I did't want to spend all that time again from scratch. But in late game, it feels bit empty still. I have huge village of 50 people surrounded with walls at the hilltop where the best trees grow and would be nice if raids would occur.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Raids should be coming pretty soon, they are necessary because otherwise building walls and stuff doesn't really make sense unless you want nice aesthetics.

[@lennyteske1864]

That is awesome! I bet that took forever! I am getting to the point, 25 hours or so, where I need to get copper and bronze tools but haven't figured out how to unlock them yet. I added a smelter as furniture in my crafting hut but it won't let me smelt the copper for some reason even though I have the copper in my inventory. It just won't let me select it. I don't think I have figured out how to do it or have a villager do it for me. That is the one bad thing about this game, there just isn't a ton out there on the internet yet for walkthroughs and asking questions. I hope it grows in popularity fast!

[@wueste2586]

Good Video 👌 Does Bandits or other enemys attack your village in this Game? In Medieval dynasty I was missing this.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Not yet, but it is planned for the future.

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

How many villagers can you get overall? I have two villages and it’s Capped at like 58.

[@jeicrawmer5990]

are there farm animals/mounts?

[@GoblinGaming13]

Right now no, and I'll be honest it doesn't look like it's coming soon too. Current road map is focused on new maps, procedural quests and new systems like village defense and spiritual/karma system.

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

I only noticed lagging in fighting areas with lots of mobs.

[@arawn2636]

same, I just cleared the final camp and there was a lot of lag

[@romyolive-9404]

so its same like medivale dynatsy but in japan

[@GoblinGaming13]

Honestly, pretty much yes. There are very minor differences, I'm excited to see if they'll expand on the game. It is very addicting though.

[@azhockeynut8297]

I think it is different, similar yet different. The quests are more to unlock thing rather than just to do things. There are far more bandits and volume of bad guys because combat is a big part of this yet is not part really at all in MD (hunting is not combat for me). Also, there are more villages and POI as well as the "sense" of community because of the storyline here. I have them both with hundreds of hours each. Yet I like them both for different reasons.

[@GoblinGaming13]

@@azhockeynut8297 I do like the more villages and POI a lot, also later on when you have more than one village it's pretty awesome. It does differ itself enough from Medieval Dynasty to justify the purchase.

[@SuperSkrullz]

can you play it differently? like not building a village (just on your own)?

[@GoblinGaming13]

You'd limit yourself a lot since special projects for unlocking new tools and stuff require villagers to work on them. Technically you could, but only for a challenge. If building a whole village isn't your style I'd recommend Survival: Fountain of Youth, with demo available on Steam.

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

I’m definitely buying this on ps5 tho I hate using Bluetooth for controller with steam and pc myself.

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

The quests take quite a while to fulfill. Like one needs steel weapons and I’m like when the heck can I make them lol.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Yeah, it's pretty hard to finish some of the things you need to progress! But usually it's worth it. For your villagers, I believe it depends on your dynasty level. Hope you enjoy the game a lot!

[@AeriyaValkyrja]

@ oh for sure it’s addicting

[@GoblinGaming13]

@@AeriyaValkyrja I've more addicting games on the way, editing video for one of them just now! :)

[@blackhawksfan2525]

I haven't had the performance issues either, and I don't have anywhere near a top of the line system. That seems to be hit or miss with people. Not sure why. I'm about 30 hours in (less than a week) and it's an extremely immersive game. Landscapes and music are gorgeous. I've lost many hours just wandering the landscape for no particular reason. That said, the character models aren't diverse at all, which is one thing I hope they develop more in the near future. This game is probably not quite as advanced as Medieval Dynasty was when it transitioned from early access to full release, but I'd say it's not too far behind. I think this will end up being one of my long term mainstay games alongside Medieval Dynasty and Bellwright. If you want a Japanese themed builder, this is the best I've seen.

[@GoblinGaming13]

The landscapes really are amazing right? Especially from some higher points where you can just observe. I'd be a bit wary of Bellwright because the devs have a bit of a bad reputation of abandoning games, although it does look nice for now.

[@azhockeynut8297]

been playing for hundreds of hours and have not seen the performance issues you are referring to. not sure why I have a mid tier system myself.

[@GoblinGaming13]

I'd say you're pretty lucky in that regard then :). In all seriousness though I did try it both recording and completely turning off recording and GeForce experience and still got some issues. For some time I suspected the game might have memory leak somewhere but wasn't able to confirm it 100%. In the end, it did take a bit out of the enjoyment but not nearly enough to not recommend the game.

[@azhockeynut8297]

@@GoblinGaming13 I don't record, so I could see that hurting performance for some, especially if one records to the same disk as one is playing on. The only major issue I have seen, and to me it is minor, is sometimes it can take a second to load in a new area fully. But to me many games are like this and maybe I am just used to it. Great bid by the way!

[@GoblinGaming13]

[@shyzunk]

I like Sengoku Dynasty a lot, since the first previews it improved a ton. It does feel a little rushed however, I would prefer if they delayed the full release a bit. My biggest gripe is the AI of enemies. Sometimes they work fine, their intentions are fairly smart for a smaller title, the problem is they absolutely do not understand the terrain. So I ran around with stone arrows and a copper yari like a god of death itself, because bears and bandits regularly derp out on rocks and you just need to hide behind one and shoot them dead. They will just stand there and make no attempt to navigate around terreain, even if all they need is to step to the side once or twice. And of course, as is typically the case in games, they cant see anything beyond 30m away, even on open field. Also, last time I played, the system to free regions was not in place yet. It is fairly obvious that this part was added to an otherwise finished design, with pieces only being reshuffled to support it, the game was not designed with this system in mind. It is a great idea, but it is shoved into quests and progression so that I have no clue what unlocks which technology and why. One item I can only access in stone, one in bronze, one in steel and in some cases master variant is unlocked, if only I could get hold of some rare resource. The weird mismatch in technology is locked behind liberation of a random half empty region that has nothing whatsoever to do with metallurgy and therefore can't explain why I can make steel naginata, but only bronze pickaxe. I have never seen such illogical progression system in games. I think it's not far from being good but it needed a bit more of a high level rework, not just moving existing bits around in confusing ways.

[@GoblinGaming13]

Ha, totally true on the AI, I mentioned it in the review too. Sometimes they just stop doing anything and you can either hack or shoot them to death. That is one of the problems, especially when you want to test yourself against multiple enemies and it does feel a bit cheap to win like that. For the region unlocks, yeah they are a bit arbitrary, unlocking bronze sword was literally just build a tower, but bronze pick axe requires you to defeat the bandit leader AND build a watchtower. They are planning to re-do the maps and enemies so there's hope. I'd still recommend the game because it's just so much fun even with problems present.

[@Ovidiu_b.]

regardless of the graphics settings, my fps is 20... and the processor and video card work at 30%

@@Ovidiu_b. Yeah that should work, the weird thing here is gpu at only 30%. Maybe try locking FPS to 60 (or even 30), I had to play around with video settings to get good fps, the game currently really isn't optimized well. Shame, because it's good.

[@bandolin1216]

If you have Medieval Dynasty I really don't see the point in getting Sengoku. Its the same mechanics just different graphics. The combat seemed more polished than MD but otherwise from what you showed, SD is inferior to MD.

[@GoblinGaming13]

As of now it is indeed inferior to MD. If you don't have any of them and want a Japanese setting then I'd pick SD, I also think support for it is good enough to get it on MD level in time.

[@TAKOssrb]

when they discount you should considered to buy it if you have more money in your hand. this game is good maybe lil buggy about performance but still in future maybe will be fix anyway it is good game for me and i bought it with discount 20% off so i feel it is worth it

[@GoblinGaming13]

With 20% off it's definitely worth it. It will only get better!
