Never played Final Fantasy, is it counts?
Is there any games that combine Medieval setting and modern/futuristic technologies?

Secret of Evermore has you travelling through different time periods.
Honestly thought I think the closest thing you have to this is probably steampunk.
Horizon zero dawn
Trails series usually involves sci-fi industrialization into the drama. The Cold Steel and Crossbell series especially
Too bad steampunk is rarely any good
Caves od Qud has a similar setting. Far future with lots of advanced tech left behind by some ancient civilization, but the majority of the populace use crude swords and live in mud shacks or caves.
Not medieval setting, but Deus Ex HR is heavily inspired by Renaissance
>Horizon zero dawn
Not really medieval.
>Is there any games that combine Medieval setting and modern/futuristic technologies?
yes, it's called eastern europe.
breath of fire 3
the first Wild Arms combines western, medieval, sci-fi, steampunk, fantasy
More games like Horizon ZD and Enslaved that combine futuristic setting and relatively primitive way of living? Not generic post-apocalypse tho
Elex.
The universe from your picture has a vidya version of a board game (Scythe) and a company of heroes/dawn of war style RTS in the works (Iron Harvest).
Might and Magic 6 and 7 in a way.
Endless Legend does that
age of decadence
does this just mean that bullets dont straight up rip through armor and kill people? thats the only way you can have future technology but still medieval style melee combat
The entirety of Wizardry as well as Might & Magic
Technically it's Roman, but a real great game nonetheless. I hope the space game will be good as well
you literally described final fantasy
Aesthetically, it's pleasing, but it's dumb af. Any kind of futuristic tech that needs lots of strong, large parts (metal or some composite), automatically makes any Medieval tech obsolete. Only way to make it work without throwing logic to the wind, is to have some kind of "alien" invasion/encounter happen during the period, and having the game take place in this odd transition period between old and new tech.
i guess in games with modern settings bullets kill people in one hit, huh
Why would you ever ride a horse into battle if there's a better transport available?
If it's only about the setting (castles, knights, peasants, etc.) the knights could just use guns instead
But what if horse IS a better transport?
The original Thief and Thief 2 had a setting like that, medieval setting with some random low level technology and also random magic.
>Never played Final Fantasy, is it counts
Final Fantasy has been doing that since the first one.
That type of social hierarchy cant exist if the peasants have the ability to kill the knights and upper class ie. with guns. thats why crossbows were banned by the catholic church. You cant just mash two settings together, you have to think about why the settings are the way they are.
in real life a bullet will incapacitate it's target. this is what you have to think about when designing the setting, the reality. reality can be stretched for the sake of gameplay like how fps have regenerating health
then ban peasants from owning guns and limit its production
alternatively set it in a modern setting where everyone just really likes knight armor
>That type of social hierarchy cant exist if the peasants have the ability to kill the knights and upper class ie. with guns
if the peasants can only afford ak 47s while the knights can afford billion-dollar smart targeting systems then the gun isn't such great of an equalizer
but really knights died out because the organization and economy allowed for professional armies, instead of just gathering up the strong rich fucks from each fiefdom
Kiseki games do this while having a really cool backstory behind it.
The geopolitical premise of the entire series is that a medieval society locked in religious superstition and warfare finds their equivalent of fuel for electricity, but in their world this resource never depletes and causes a golden age of technological prowess in only the span of decades, where not only 50 years ago, people were moving around via horse carriage and are now moving around by bus, cars, trains, and massive airships. But because technology is advancing so fast, society can't keep up so people are still stuck in an aristocratic/monarchic nobles and peasants medieval mindset, and new technology is coming out faster than people can replace the older stuff so cities are a mishmash of technology and medieval architecture. Wars went from being fought on foot only a decade before the series started, to being fought with tanks at the beginning of the series, and then being fought with full-on mecha armies towards the end.
Because technology is advancing so fast too, the monarchies and systems are falling apart because the every-day citizen, peasant, and private business has the potential to acquire deadly weapons and some countries are being toppled while democracies and fascist dictatorships take their place.
there is that one ww1 rts game with mechs
its not medieval but its similar aesthetic wise
I'm starting to hate this kind of composition in drawings.
Grim Dawn is post-apocalyptic victorian with tons of medieval aspects
