5. Gloria Victis

Gloria Victis Trailer

This game is set in Medieval Europe. It has a basis in reality. So you follow the fate of whichever tribe you choose to be a part. There are four tribes (Azebians, Ismirs, Midlanders and Sangarians) and all are based on tribes from historical times past.

The game describes itself as low fantasy. This means there are no mages. This also means that it probably isn’t wise to wear next to nothing in the snowy mountains of tons of fur and armor in the blistering desert.

This is another sandbox style open world game. You must craft and create your villages and your weapons and armor.

NPC’s are also highly sensitive to your actions and will also notice the time of day that you are speaking to them as well as the weather outside. Don’t expect your peasants to be out and about in the snow.

Play through your tribe’s fate and explore a vast open world, which boasts no load screens and no “invisible walls.” The game is still in pre-Alpha and not widely distributed, but it is another title that is free to play so give it a go.

Low fantasy doesn't mean no giants

The world is your oyster… and it’s a pretty oyster
