In The Guild 3 you create a family dynasty which can last for centuries. While the world around you and your dynasty rearrange itself again and again - all non-player figures make their own decisions - you have to prove your skills in handicrafts and trading, at social occasion and finally in politics and in malicious intrigues.

  • Ranging professions, a complex skill tree and many unlockable actions and bonuses
  • 13 unique scenario maps based on authentic historical locations in Central and Northern Europe

I put about 60 hours into this because I love the concept. On paper, this should be incredible. Medieval dynasty sim. Run businesses. Manipulate politics. Marry strategically. Destroy rival families over generations.

I really wanted to like it and overlook any issues so I could play co-op without a desync, but it just couldn't captivate me like Guild 2. They tried to do too much and never finished half of it. Everything is so
