Quid Pro Games announced Bergfried, an upcoming PC city builder and RTS that combines granular medieval castle design with tactical defense against rival knights.
Developer Quid Pro Games has revealed Bergfried, an upcoming PC title that merges intricate city building with tactical real time strategy combat. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the game lets players design medieval fortresses on a specialized grid system. This system mimics the irregular, organic shapes of historical European castles rather than forcing players into rigid, uniform layouts. You draw the walls piece by piece, place your towers, and plan the surrounding town where your subjects gather resources to fuel further expansion.
Once your settlement is established, the gameplay shifts into defensive strategy as rival knights attempt to siege your creation. The combat system gives players fine control over their forces, allowing you to command individual units and direct specific knights rather than just moving broad armies around a map. This combination of creative architectural freedom and high stakes defense gives the genre a fresh angle for players who enjoy micromanaging both their economy and their battlefield tactics.
While Bergfried does not have a confirmed release date yet, developers are opening up opportunities for community playtesting. Players interested in testing out the building mechanics and defensive loops can head over to Steam to wishlist the game and keep track of upcoming development updates. It is an interesting project to watch for anyone who loves spending hours perfecting a base before putting it through the ultimate stress test.
