Who it suits
It suits players interested in managing a medieval dynasty through role-playing and life-simulation systems. Players who like real-time worlds, character choices, and a party of up to three can find those elements here.
The Guild 2 blends dynasty building with character and party management in a medieval setting. Its listed Steam features are single-player, so it is not presented as a multiplayer option.
