The promising single-player medieval sandbox RPG Legacy of Valor has been on Kickstarter for only a little more than a week, but it has already reached its goal.
The developers hoped to get a minimum of $100,000 to fund the game via the Kickstarter campaign, and with 20 days to go, it’s already at $110,233.
Born from the work of a solo developer from the Czech Republic, Filip Husák, the project has expanded to be handled by a small but talented indie team. Husák himself already sank “thousands” of hours into developing a playable prototype.
The project is quite ambitious, with a settlement building feature, farming and gathering, trading, real-time combat, economy management, a living world developing around the player and shaped by their choices, time progression and dynamic weather and time of day.
Of course, there are plenty of stretch goals all the way to $2 million, from full voice acting to online co-op multiplayer, large-scale battles, mounted combat, and much more.
Here’s how the developers describe the four core pillars of Legacy of Valor:
Meaningful Combat
Combat is grounded, skill-based, and brutal. Master timing, spacing, and stamina to survive gritty duels or command large scale battles. Every choice in combat matters, retreat, rally, or risk it all.Kingdoms You Shape
Your lands evolve through your actions. Build and manage villages, fortresses, and entire regions. Enact laws, levy taxes, and defend your people. Every structure placed, every decision made, leaves a lasting mark.Story Meets Sandbox
Legacy of Valor blends a branching, reactive narrative with sandbox freedom. Choose your path, become a merciful ruler, a ruthless conqueror, or a wandering exile. Explore, trade, build, or destroy. The world responds and remembers.A Living Legacy
The consequences of your actions echo across generations. Create your family line, pass down lands and heirlooms, or leave behind a broken realm. Your legacy lives on through what you build, or what you leave in ashes.
It certainly feels like Kingdom Come: Deliverance meets Mount & Blade, and personally, I’m all for it.
The development roadmap predicts a release in Q4 2027 for PC, with possible DLC and expansions coming from 2028 onwards (if funded) alongside console versions depending on funding and demand.
A Steam page is already available for your wishlisting pleasure, and it’s certainly going to be interesting to see how far the project goes.
You still have 20 days to support Legacy of Valor if you so wish, with $50 being the minimum tier required to get a copy of the game on Steam when it launches. Higher tiers provide alpha and/or beta access and a variety of perks.
