My first life, in Life is Feudal: Your Own
(My life was feudal, it was my own)

Spawned.
Walked a bit.
Ate cookies.
Saw a guild in global chat, decided to look for them in the South.
Met up with a wanderer called Thorbjorn, travelled with him to The South.
We got hungry and tried hunting a boar.
It rekt us, and I fell into a hole with spikes and glitched into a jumping animation.
Relogged.
We decided not to hunt the boar.
Mysterious man on horseback appeared. He was silent.
Then another appeared. He started rambling and calling us mortals.
His name was Reaper. He was asked me if I was strong, I said yes. We dueled and I died.
Reaper said return to him for gifts.
I returned and found my companion.
Reaper gave us horses, armour, farming tools, weapons and food.
Me and Thorbjorn made a camp not too far from Reaper's fortress.
We got raided by The Kingdom of the North. All our supplies....gone....
We told Reaper's gang, they were on our side. Then we told the Kingdom of the South.
The South let us join, then we got free houses and I became a farmer.

This was my first time playing LiF and it was quite the adventure.
A great RPing game, with good community, and survival aspects.
If you don't mind lots and lots of hardwork, it the best medieval survival game on the market.

I've been following and playing this game for quite some time now and it has certainly come a long way fromwhen I first saw it.
With Alpha and Beta testing for the MMO server happening, this games final iteration is quickly closing in but I'm more than certain it's not the last.

It's the first survival crafting game I've seen that takes the right approach to encourage cooperation.
Just throwing zombies everywhere and a food and drink meter isn't enough, Rust or Dayz is a prime example of that.
Sure it is technically feasible to build everything on your own, at a very basic level. The skill system makes it so that you can only become proficient enough in only a small handful of professions, trying to master all is impossible and will make you lose skill in others. This makes it so that everyone who plays can pick their role and that role will be valueable and needed. You then go find others with different skills, you work together, build together, fight together, survive. Eventually you get yourself a nice little village going and attract more people, it just goes on from there.

Arbitrary rating 7/10
This version is technically for private servers, the devs true vision is seeing this at an MMORPG scale.

I absolutely love this game. Wish I had gotten it sooner, but the mixed reviews threw me off. My favorite type of game is the survival/crafting genre and this is by far the best of the bunch IMO.
You actually have to work for everything you achieve, in other words you don't have everything handed to you in the first couple days of gameplay,
Has a very deep crafting system which I love, it's more realistic and true to the era. I play only PVE and it keeps me incredibaly occupied as there is so much to do .

I highly recommend this game to those that enjoy crafting and survival.

I bought this game a year ago, and played it only for a few hours because it was hard to learn at first and I simply didn't understand how to do certain things in game. I came back to it later after watching a few youtube how to videos and enjoy it a lot better. Now that I actually know how to do things in game, and I enjoy it. I highly suggest using youtube tutorials, along side of playing the game. Your experience will be 100% better.

As for the game overall... once you know what's going on, its a great game.

10/10

After playing M&B Warband, for many many hours, I was starting to look around for a similair game, to kill my waiting time for "Bannerlord" (The new M&B game comming soon).

This game has fully lived up to my expectations and more!

Not only is the game true to the medieval era, its also slow-paced and relaxing. :)
Building a simple house might take some time(hours), especially if you are alone, but when are playing with IRL friends, or just guild members, you can really start building some interessting stuff, like we made a castle wall with a trench in front of it!
Very good time-killing indeed. :D

In this game you can:
- Pray to God, and bless others with Gods words!
- Dance around on your enemies corpse (lots of emotes)
- Hunt down animals, and then get rekt by a boar. Trust me, hunting is so much fun xD
- Raid other bases, but beware of the consequences! People are nice in this game, until you start messing with them!
- Do honorable PVP. Most people do not attack out of nowhere, but some do, and it makes for some interessting battles.
- Trade with other people and guilds! Best way to get stuff early game, is to work for others, to get some rare ressources! Ask around in Global chat, people are always looking for someone to do their dirty work. :)
- Tame your own horse, train it, AND MOUNT UP! It really feels awesome riding around the lands, on your sturdy steed !
- Craft your own weapons and armor, and look like a bad ♥♥♥ !
- Dig a mine. Remember to reinforce those tunnel walls, or else.... :P
- Weather & Season system! I love the season changes ingame, and the weather also seems to affect the harvest for your crops!
- So much more.

So, just buy it already! What are you waiting for?
But remember, your Life will be Feudal if you do ! :)

If you like freedom and realism. Worth a try when it goes on sale. Waiting for the MMO may be worth the bucks.

The actual gameplay itself is very fun. The sandbox experience in this game is great. Interaction with others is basically unlimited. Full loot, open trading, full pvp, everything goes. The combat is ok. It is somewhat skill based with combo's to learn and memorize, but also level based.

Here is the problem I have with the game............. Servers.
Hosts come and go, maps get reset, devs get egos, it just never ends. I found one good server that I stuck with for hours of gameplay and one day the devs shut down the server.... Just the way it is with this game.

The gameplay is great if you can find a server you enjoy.

It is one of the most addicting and enjoyable creative sandbox games i have played.

Great survival game forcing you to team up and trade with others. Not good for those who like to play alone or control everything lol.

This game you should only buy if you like to stay on a game for a few weeks without taking a break. The game is difficult for new players but once you get started, it'll get easier. Life is Feudal is a game where team work is required alot so do not play this game alone or you will get bored out of you're mind and regret buying it.

I personally adore this game due to it's difficultly along with its Medieval and open world, survivel style gameplay.
