Explained simply
Country of Fortune is a medieval strategy game made by Nepos Games, a game studio. It combines building settlements with managing a wider country, so players develop villages into cities and make decisions about how the land is used.
The game’s systems include terrain, local resources, roads, vehicles and trade. It is described as a city builder, but its focus on growing and managing a whole nation gives it a broader scope.
Early access means the game is released while development continues, allowing players to try it before it is finished. A free demo is available on Steam, a digital shop and game platform for computers.
