The value story
56 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. The Guild II Renaissance ($9.99, scores 60) outscores it, and so does SAELIG ($14.99, scores 48). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
I do not know why this game gets hate. It is a really good game with diverse dynamics. It is very fun. It's like Sims, but medieval and also an economy game while also being a management game with politics and government. It's literally everything I love when it comes to Economy/Management games. It is so good on many different levels. The learning curve is not steep at all. You get the hang of it about 4 hours in...

Thinking back, I sincerely believe this game is one of the single biggest causes for depression. Remembering why I even attempted speedrunning it in random MP sessions is almost impossible at this point. The second trailer probably drove me insane. You will have to sling that iron for 50 cent a lot. If you love to micro-manage your relationships, this game is for you! The only way of truly understanding upfront what...
Very close to a scam. Game is fundamentally incomplete and basically has been left 'as is'. There's not even a semblance of a gameplay loop here and multiple basic features simply do not work or crash the game. This game is a great example of 'Steam should actively hold publishers responsible for incomplete deliveries'. THQ Nordic should be straight up ashamed to have shoveled this onto the market.

About the game
The Guild 3 is a fascinating trade and life simulation that takes place during the late Middle Ages. Step into the shoes of a citizen, acquire businesses and mansions, produce goods and trade them, start intrigues in politics and society, love, hate, bribe, fight and live through good and bad times!
