Indie developer Irregular Shapes and publisher Firesquid have launched City Tales - Medieval Era on Steam. The relaxing kingdom builder, which has been in Early Access for nearly a year, is available with a 35% discount. Version 1.0 marks a major milestone, bringing the full story to its conclusion, with both acts now available for players.

Players can now pursue 11 masterworks, alongside 10 companions, and explore 3 handcrafted maps. It includes a complete economy with 48 resources and 18 civil buildings. The launch also includes a Painter Mode, allowing players to build freely without resource constraints. The game offers dozens of hours of gameplay.

City-building games have seen a resurgence in popularity, capitalizing on the success of titles like *Anno* and *Cities: Skylines*. The ability to customize and build your own kingdom is a major appeal. The developers engaged with the community during Early Access, refining the experience based on player feedback.

With its full release, City Tales - Medieval Era aims to capture a wider audience. The game's blend of creative freedom and strategic resource management offers a relaxing but engaging experience. The focus on listening to player feedback suggests a commitment to long-term support and development, which is critical for indie game success.
