Description

Nested Lands is a multiplayer settlement-building RPG set in a dark, plague-ravaged world where twisted madmen and bandits roam the land. Your life will depend on how well you manage and grow your settlement. Fortunately, you're not alone in this dark world — your peasants will help you gather resources, craft items, and build defenses as you lead them through danger and privation. But remember, every choice you make has consequences and can lead your village to prosperity or a senseless death from the plague. 

Start from a clean slate and build a brand-new civilization. Assign each peasant a specific role and order them to build, craft, or gather the resources you need to survive the hardships you will face. With dozens of upgradable buildings and hundreds of items to craft and customize, including farms and animals, you're free 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.

The only way to break through the endless darkness of Nested Lands is to gather the other survivors who share your plight, but have yet to fully give up hope. Save and recruit peasants during your journey across the world. But keep in mind that they will need your protection.
Harsh weather and the coming winter are also your sworn enemies, and the highly detailed world full of random events won’t grant you a single moment’s rest.

Start from nothing. Rise from the bottom, overcome monumental challenges, and make your fame echo across the Nested Lands. But be careful - all your decisions will be carefully watched and evaluated. Will your name be praised by all, or will its very sound instill fear into the common folk who dwell in this open world? The choice is yours.

The disfigured nature of the world makes survival even more challenging. Before facing other threats, you need to secure the basics — a lack of medicine can wipe your village out faster than any blade. Craft, improve your skills, and endure the harsh reality of Nested Lands. Brutal weather and the coming winter may be your greatest foes, but random encounters won't offer any respite.

Play your way - explore the Nested Lands alone, or embrace the horrors of this dystopian world with your friends in co-op mode.

I’ve been playing this game in co-op with my girlfriend (with me hosting). While the core gameplay is actually fun, the saving system combined with a catastrophic bug completely wiped out all of our progress. The Bug:

Cool concept, but very boring. Poorly Optimised. Unsure the game goal. Only seems to be 2 enemy types. CLUB MAN. and KNIFE MAN. Why do I need to build a bunch of buildings to craft better gear, when I can already kill

This seemed promising but it's a bugfest. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY like I did. Also, terrible optimisation, runs about as smooth as sand paper, and it is an asset flip. So dissappointed. I may give it another try once

EXTREMELY BORING if you're playing it co-op. If you're not the server you can't do anything in the game except run around searching boxes and collecting the same old stuff. It became a grind for me as i couldn't help

It crashes, a lot. Every time you do a small task you better save. I have 76 hour of game time played and have had approx. 30 crashes. About 40 hour in I got hit with a 'plague wind' that never went away. If I moved
