In a playerbase-driven world.
Play the war mode, where every match is your grain of sand that changes the continuation of the story. You will influence who lives and who dies, who wins and who loses. Every kill matters.
Major events will define the future of the world's best and brightest. Follow how your actions affect an entire world.
Your matches represent the present. You will leave your mark, now or never. Become the turning point for major battles.
Balance or specialize your character as you see fit – Pair gruesome hammers and swift blades, lifesaving and doomwrecking spells, bows and crossbows.
Embody the fine art of fencing with greatswords, estocs and rapiers; become a real brute smashing heads and ribs with grandmaces, mauls and morningstars; or keep the line with a multitude of polearms. Make them bleed, cripple them, or poke them through.
Study the art of magic and the meaning of your faith to become a powerful mage, fielding game-changing spells or simpler, common spells. From curing poison to resurrecting your ally, to casting fireballs and summoning otherwordly wraiths – make the battlefield your own.
An elite marksman doesn’t let his enemies reach him at close range. Arc your shots with longbows, get the highest firepower with heavy crossbows, and catch unsuspecting enemies at melee with throwing knives and axes.
Their ancient home sunken under the seas, the Sulmites have taken home where their conquerors have raised their banners.
Often playing the counter-balancing power in major wars, the Sultanate’s recent victories have brought it the attention of realms far past its influence.
Ranged weaponry
Access to multiple magical trees
Light infantry equipment
Nicknamed “the Beast from the East”, Mazovia has been the prime antagonist of most Western realms ever since the Divine Crisis, over four centuries ago.
A realm that has been decomposed and recomposed throughout history, Mazovia has seen the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires. Priviledging mobility, efficient infantry and a strong belief in the Ecclesiarchy, Mazovians deploy brutish, well armored forces onto all battlefields they are called upon.
Strong polearms, axes and maces
Sturdy scalar and mail armors
Strong offense
The most recent realm to come to existence, the Renhir’s continuity has always been under threat – even from its closest ally, the Kohrin.
Everlasting threats have groomed Renhirites to acquire a love for self-defense, fencing and numerous types of weaponry, making Renhirites eager to prove their individual might as duelists, and to forge the story of their realm.
Polyvalent sword weaponry
Varied heavy armor
Strong Divine magic

A contrasting figure, Vandir would slay his weak brother, Adalgard, believing his incompetent rule would end his realm. A disowned Prince, Vandir has nonetheless been rallying a force, the “Unholy Alliance”, far away from his home realm.
One day, he shall return and be adorned with his rightful crown.
A man on a mission.
A former smith, under the tutelage of a Relicholder, Breoghan Belfrei, Hans would learn the ways of the court as his squire, but never straying from the virtuous morals of his mentor.
Following the Siege of Anghenor and the untimely passing of his long-time friend, Hans would seek to honor his memory by freeing his soul, enthralled in his own broken armor, serving as a mindless servant of the Ecclesiarchy.
A triple agent serves only himself.
Seeking to restore the lost honor of House Kuhen following the fall of their realm to the plague, Theodorik’s ambition knows no bounds.
A prominent mage and schemer, he has found his way to become the personal adviser of the Renhirite King.

Concept art & Illustrations
FIEFDOM is a multiplayer PvP and PvE melee slasher game, set in a dynamic playerbase-driven world that changes with the combined outcome of the community’s matches.
Slashers are a genre of games defined by free-flowing melee combat, where the intertwining of your movement and attacks, paired with fencing principles such as feinting, canceling and more, allow you to have an unparalleled level of control over your combat abilities.
Our PvE dungeons are our coop content. They are best played in a group of 5 people.
If there are less than 5 players in a party, bots will replace the missing players.
Important note: PvE dungeons are tied to the success of our upcoming Kickstarter.
Mechanically, magic and spells respect the fundamental principles behind melee slasher attacks. As a result, you can combine melee and magical attacks seamlessly, allowing for previously unthinkable playstyles.
With your character, your choice of faith impacts your starting kit of spells.
In FIEFDOM, magic is heavily tied with a person’s faith. Your character’s faith defines its initial kit of spells and how quickly or slowly your progress in the magic-caster talent trees can occur.
Assault: featuring up to 48 players, this gamemode is reminiscent of staples of the genre. Progressing primary objectives defining the course of the map, with each of them having a set of secondary objectives to enhance your team or diminish your enemies.
Battleground: our star gamemode of up to 100 players, we intend to show the epicness and destructiveness of medieval warfare through not only vehicles such as ships, catapults and ballistas, but mercenary and citizen AIs that will either play with or against you.
Competitive: queue in our 5vs5 competitive gamemode in our tailored maps.
War mode: the lore mode is an add-on to an existing map in an existing gamemode. Here, your match results are counted for the continuation of our playerbase-driven story.
Our goal is that our largest multiplayer gamemode, Battleground, can feature up to 100 players and/or bots in a given server.
We are working hard on optimization, both for the server and client, for that to be a reality. At the moment, we can guarantee battles of up to 48 players running smoothly.

All of the worldbuilding and lore we have created so far defines the past. The present is for you to play. It is represented by the current maps and context defined in the war mode.
During a season, new or altered maps are chosen to be part of the war mode. To play in the war mode, you will have to select a single realm to fight for the duration of the event.
All matches that the entire playerbase play are aggregated to answer the question: Which faction has won the most? How did they win?
In the following updates, the canonical outcome of these matches is reflected in new content.
Not in-between a season. Once your choice is made and if you have already played a match, you will have to wait until the next season.
We recommend having a basic understanding of all realms before making your first choice, so you understand their gameplay strengths.
Don’t worry, if you regret your decision the war mode isn’t the only gamemode there is.
You may decide to skip the season, or play with another realm. Let’s say the Renhir is your favorite realm, but this lore season pitches Mazovia against Sulma.
We cannot guarantee it, but we’ve considered it. The entire backstory of FIEFDOM defines 18 sovereign realms.
However, we will introduce those that make the most sense depending on the development of our playerbase-driven world.
You can solo or group queue, create clans, schedule scrims with specific other clans, play in automated tournaments and – should you prove to be one of the best, you and your team would be invited to official tournaments.
Without privacy-invasive technologies, smurfs are hard to detect a priori. The quality of our system will naturally mean that smurfs will achieve their real ranking extremely quickly.
We do not have a hard stance against smurfing. However, griefing a match is unacceptable. Unusual matches deliberately meant to reduce a smurf’s ranks are easily detectable and are flagged by our system.
Our goal is to have an organic competitive scene. This starts with a gameplay system that is coherent with all of its mechanics.
We have created the systems for esports to flourish, such as matchmaking & MMR from day 1 of release, automated tournaments, automated streams, and official seasonal tournaments.
We aim to be as accessible as possible. Our benchmark is being able to hit a stable 60fps on low/medium settings with a GTX 1070 and a Ryzen 1600x.
Our official server deployment is the following:
FIEFDOM will launch on PC first. On PC, we aim to release on Steam, Epic Games Store. In addition, the GOG and EA App platforms might be considered. Windows and Linux are supported.
A console release to Xbox Series S/X & PS5 will come at a later date depending on the outcome of our Kickstarter.
We use a customized version of Unreal Engine 5.
We support XInput, which means you can use any standard PC controller.
Yes. However, our attacks do not blend between angles like in other titles. The closest matching angle from your input will be chosen instead.
Yes. However, some achievements and rewards might be locked during offline play.
It’s platform dependant. We do not implement any external DRM that is not linked to the distribution platform. That means that our Steam version has Steam DRM, but our GOG version if it exists would have no DRM.
No. FIEFDOM is a match-based game that has common multiplayer lobbies and a short singleplayer campaign.
The world of FIEFDOM is fictional. However, it is not unrealistic. When creating armors, characters and locations, we apply a realistic lens in our craft given the rules of physics of this fictional world.
No. You cannot skip progression, buy ready-made character or have unmatchable advantages through spending real money.
No. We have seen promising people affected by videogame addiction, and it is our goal to lessen it as much as possible.
A good game can inherently be addictive, without the need to implement unethical design choices. As a result, we implement playtime reminders and the ability to lock yourself out of the game to avoid temptation.
Yes. Community servers will be available from release onwards.
In addition to third-party hosting, you will be able to rent, manage, customize and deploy your server directly in game using a dedicated in-game admin panel.
That is our goal, as we want to see the community alter our creation as they see fit. We cannot guarantee it at this stage. However, we can guarantee players having the possibility of creating their own, custom gamemodes.
No. Our usage of generative AI is and will remain locked to occasionally using Stable Diffusion to generate references to help depict our lore descriptions, in order to assist our concept artists’ work.
In practice, it is the same as scouting for images on a search engine and creating an image bank for a task description.
Yes. While AAA games tend to not use or barely use third-party assets, AA and indie games use them plentifully.
We guarantee that the following will always be made by us: Characters, weapons, armors, music, UI, levels, most environment assets, game code.
Obtain a color variant of an armor set that is not obtainable anywhere else. Redeemable on Steam and EGS only.
Once our forums are launched, subscribers will have access to special channels for quicker, more direct access to the developers.
Keep up to date with our development through our email newsletters.
You might be invited to participate in paid surveys or focus groups, make your voice heard and earn a bit of coin from it!
To thank you for your gesture, you are among the limited few that will receive a variant of an armor set that is otherwise unobtainable.
You will know more once the game is closer to releasing!
A newsletter confirmation email has been sent to your inbox.
Our Discord will be our go-to place for giveaways and other community events. Don’t miss out!
Get acquainted with our assets, maps, mechanics and story – You will be far better prepared for battle by the time release (and alpha) comes around!
Get to know the team, ask the “why’s” and “how’s” behind our game and its design – last but not least, let us know what you’d like to see in FIEFDOM!
