About This Game

Gather your gang. Build a hideout. Take what you need from those who cannot defend it.

Bandit Life is a medieval strategy game about managing a gang of outlaws, expanding your camp, and making decisions whose consequences often return at the worst possible moment.

You are no knight or chosen hero. You are an outlaw responsible for a group of hungry, greedy, and not always loyal companions. To survive, you must gather resources, issue orders, and decide when someone else’s life is worth the risk.

Explore the world, ambush travelers, hunt, steal from towns, and raid rival camps. Every success builds your gang’s reputation. Every failure may cost you your loot, leave someone badly wounded, or kill a bandit who will not be easily replaced.

Lead people, not pawns

Every member of your gang has their own attributes, skills, equipment, energy, and morale.

Assign your people to construction, production, gathering, travel, or combat. Keep them fed, rested, and in fighting condition—a starving or broken bandit can quickly become a threat to the entire gang.

Loyalty is never guaranteed. Neglected companions may start fights, sabotage your plans, rob the gang, or simply leave.

Live off what others cannot defend

Stop travelers on the road and choose your approach. Threaten, extort, negotiate, or attack—but make sure you judge your target carefully.

A frightened wanderer may surrender their purse without a fight. Someone else may try to deceive you, call for help, or prove far more dangerous than they first appeared.

You can also steal from towns, plunder ancient ruins, hunt wild animals, and launch raids against rival gangs.

Build a home beyond the reach of the law

Expand your main camp, establish new hideouts, and take control of captured strongholds.

Construct buildings that provide beds, prepare food, produce tools and weapons, store relics, and ready your people for future expeditions.

Resources do not disappear into a magical shared inventory. Supplies, equipment, and loot must be delivered to the places where they are needed. A poorly prepared expedition may be over before it truly begins.

Visit Black City

In Black City, the law has a price—and almost everything is for sale.

Trade your loot, deal on the black market, search for new recruits, hire mercenaries, or let your people recover at the tavern. Just be careful whose path you cross. The city is full of ambitious outlaws who do not take kindly to competition.

Face the consequences

The world reacts to your gang’s actions. Events can create new opportunities, spark conflicts, lead to battle, or permanently alter the course of your campaign.

There is no single path to success. Build a stable economy, survive through trade and hunting, specialize in theft, or crush the rival gangs standing in your way.

The question is not whether you will get your hands dirty.

The question is: how much will you sacrifice before every road fears your name?
