Development update: 31 Mar 2026 — Porting Perun from Unity to Unreal Engine.

Historical city builder • PC

Raise Slavic strongholds.

Perun is a historical city builder inspired by genre classics such as Caesar, Pharaoh and Zeus.

Grow humble settlements into thriving fortified grods, manage complex production chains, and provide for the material, spiritual and defensive needs of your people in early medieval Central and Eastern Europe.

A classic city-building fantasy grounded in Slavic history.

Watch your settlement come alive, follow goods and services as they move through the streets, and see individual citizens carry out their daily routines. Build around visible life, readable logistics and a strong sense of place instead of abstract systems.

Step into the early world of the Slavs and shape settlements surrounded by wooden architecture, local crafts, pagan beliefs, trade routes and the first foundations of organized urban life.

Shape every layer of settlement life.

Production and trade

Extract clay and turn it into decorated pottery. Gather amber, honey and horn-based goods, develop specialized crafts and bring in foreign wares through trade. Keep your supply chains stable and your roads efficient if you want your settlement to grow.

Seasons and adaptation

Adapt to spring, summer, autumn and winter as each season reshapes the rhythm of settlement life. Plan around changing crop cycles, shifting resource availability and new daily routines, then prepare your economy to survive both rich harvests and harsh seasonal hardship.

Perun and Veles

Shape your settlement through the tension between two opposing divine forces. Favor Perun to build a more disciplined, martial and orderly community, or lean toward Veles to embrace wealth, trade, instinct and the untamed side of life. Let that choice define how your town grows over time.

Build a city where daily life stays visible.

01

Walker-based settlements

Watch services move through the streets as visible individual units and keep your town alive, readable and easy to understand.

02

Untapped cultural identity

Build in a rare historical setting shaped by early Slavic life, beliefs, architecture and everyday economy.

03

Strong educational flavor

Discover the foundations of early urban life while enjoying a deep, readable and approachable strategy loop.

From the Baltic to the Black Sea.

Build across the era between the rise of early Slavic settlements in the 6th century and the major political and cultural changes of the 10th century. Develop fortified settlements that foreshadow the emergence of major urban centers such as Kraków, Prague, Kyiv or Novgorod.

Experience history through architecture, production, beliefs and settlement planning rather than through background flavor alone. See how communities of the period functioned, and explore a vivid, accessible chapter of European history through city building.
