Freeserf is a project aimed at recreating the game engine of the first part of The Settlers I (Serf City, 1993). The remake reproduces the familiar gameplay - settlement building, resource management, courier work, logistics, and economy remain almost unchanged, preserving the nostalgic spirit and atmosphere of the original.

The engine is localized into 1 language
(You don’t need to download anything extra to play in these languages)
Despite the game’s age, it is still great fun to play: build your own kingdom, explore the territory, and watch the tireless little settlers work for you.
At present, the development of the original project has been halted, but forks such as freeserf.net and Forkserf have appeared, featuring advanced AI, map generation, new features, and modding support.
