In the realm of survival games, Renown stands tall like a medieval castle overlooking its domain. With structures ranging from massive castles to sturdy stone walls, the game offers a blend of building and combat mechanics that sets it apart. Inspired by classics like Rust and Runescape Dragon Wilds, Renown's gameplay takes players on a journey from humble homesteader to the Lord of the realm. Led by game director Jesse Jacobson, the team behind Renown showcases impressive in-game structures that push the boundaries of player creativity.
The heart of Renown lies in its mechanically nuanced melee system, drawing inspiration from games like Chivalry and Kingdom Come Deliverance. Players engage in intense one-on-one duels, where every swing of the sword carries weight and precision. The combat system, a labor of love for Jesse and executive producer Charlie Eder Shanks, aims to deliver a realistic yet exhilarating swordplay experience. From parrying to fast attacks, the game's combat mechanics offer a depth rarely seen in other survival titles.
While Renown's combat shines, its gathering and crafting mechanics leave something to be desired. The process of collecting materials can feel tedious and uninspired, detracting from the overall gameplay experience. However, pre-built points of interest like the Grand Castle offer opportunities for players to discover valuable gear and trinkets. As the game evolves towards its early access launch, the development team faces the challenge of addressing performance issues and refining the user interface to meet player expectations.
Looking ahead, server events are poised to inject new life into Renown, providing structured gameplay experiences for players to enjoy. With a focus on community-driven content and player adaptability, the game aims to create a dynamic sandbox environment where creativity thrives. Despite its current shortcomings, Renown's potential for immersive combat and player interaction sets the stage for a promising future in the competitive survival game landscape.
