Siege Survival: Gloria Victis sees the player take control of a country being invaded, and they must manage their defenses to protect their people from the onslaught. It is a tower defense strategy game and city-builder that requires careful resource management to succeed.

The city-building aspect of the game can be likened to the rural village builder, Banished, while the siege component of the game is more akin to something like Age of Darkness: Final Stand. Players will need to balance defenses with the smooth running of their cities.

Experience the medieval world

Siege Survival: Gloria Victis takes place in the medieval world of Gloria Victis. A small group of civilians finds themselves holed up in the only remaining stronghold, and the defending troops must protect those last civilians from the oncoming hordes of enemies attacking. The game bares an authentic look both in architecture and characters and their clothing.

Resource gathering and defense

The player will need to initiate resource gathering to get the things they need to build defenses, upgrade weapons, and generally build the defenses needed to keep the stronghold safe from the attacking forces. Resources are limited, however, and strategic use of what little there is will be needed, adding another level of strategy to the game.

A good-looking game with gameplay issues

The visuals on offer with Siege Survival: Gloria Victis are impressive, rendering the medieval world in surprising detail. However, the gameplay itself is not without issues, with complaints like the pacing being too slow, as well as the building and upgrading system not being rewarding enough. Still, fans of siege games may want to give this game a look.
