Chronicles: Medieval Live Demo Shows Total War Tactics Fused with Mount & Blade Action
The live demo confirms the game's core pitch: top-down tactical command and first-person field action run as one continuous loop, not two modes bolted together.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Raw Power Games showed the first live gameplay of Chronicles: Medieval at gamescom 2026, more than two years after the strategy-action RPG was announced. Set during the Hundred Years' War, the game blends Total War-style top-down unit placement with Mount & Blade-style mounted combat. A morale system can rout entire armies. Early Access is planned for early 2027, with Japanese support confirmed on Steam.
Raw Power Games built the demo around one continuous loop. Before a battle the player arranges archers, swordsmen, and cavalry from a top-down view, setting formations and movement routes in the style of Total War. When combat starts, the camera drops to the mounted general, and the same orders play out in real time from inside the fight.
The morale system decides battles. Killing enemy elites or commanders, or landing a well-timed flank, drains the opposing army's morale until it routs, and the player can order a pursuit. Surviving units gain experience and level up, unlocking stronger stats and advanced formation commands.
The player operates as a fourth faction caught between England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. Early Access is planned for early 2027, and the Steam page already lists Japanese language support.
