Since launching into Steam Early Access on April 26th, Slavic Magic’s Manor Lords has impressed with its sales. Publisher Hooded Horse recently announced that it had sold over two million units. The real-time strategy city-builder sold over a million copies in its first two days of release.
Its concurrent player count has also been impressive, peaking at 173,178 on April 28th, according to SteamDB. Of course, early access is only the beginning – the developer plans to add more content based on feedback alongside “additional polishing, balancing and bug fixing.” The first such patch is available now in Steam’s Beta Branch and buffs archers while nerfing several Trade Developments.
Though the core mechanics are present, Manor Lords will still spend “around a year” in early access. Once again, this could change depending on community feedback. Slavic Magic also might go for a price increase after adding more features and content.
Stay tuned for further updates, and in the meantime, check out our review of the early access version here. We gave it a 7 out of 10, praising the performance, visuals and overall mechanics, though there are still some rough edges to iron out.
