Hogvalord

Hogvalord combines action RPG gameplay with farming simulation in a fantasy medieval world. You play as Lucas, a retired royal servant who wants to start a hog farm in his homeland. Monsters and an unidentified force threaten to eat Lucas and his hogs, and he must find a way to survive without magic or superpowers.

Story and choices

Farming is part of the story as well as a way to make a living. As the story progresses, you investigate what threatens the peace of Lucas’s homeland. Your choices can lead to a dreadful ending.

Build and tend your farm

You gather resources in dangerous forests and use them to build a farm of your own design, whether it is a maze, a home or a dump. The farm also serves as your warzone, so you must defend it. You grow crops to feed your hogs and care for them by providing food, water or unusual potions. Happy hogs can give birth to piglets once in their lifetime.

Hogs and combat

The food you give hogs affects their shape. You can raise different types of hogs and evolve them into different mythical creatures. In combat, you fight to defend the farm as a medieval peasant, relying on physical strength and strategy rather than magic or superpowers.

Visual style

The game uses cute, top-down 3D graphics alongside hand-painted 2D character portraits and illustrations.
