You play Robin Hood in an open-world Sherwood, opposing the Sheriff of Nottingham while helping refugees and rebels form a community. Familiar figures from the Robin Hood tales appear as you develop a forest camp into a settlement.
Explore the forest and surrounding regions, take on quests, hunt, gather materials, and craft equipment. You can fight with a bow or sword, use stealth, steal resources from convoys and noble estates, and investigate ruins with puzzles.
Recruit settlers and assign them work such as hunting, crafting, or guarding. Build and upgrade settlement structures, manage resources, and develop Robin’s skills; these systems support access to stronger equipment and further progress against the Sheriff’s forces.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its atmospheric forest, Robin Hood setting, and the mix of exploration, quests, crafting, combat, puzzles, and settlement growth. Some find building up the community and developing Robin rewarding, while others feel the activities become repetitive or are held back by rough mechanics.
Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders is an action-adventure RPG with base-building elements, where you take on the role of a classic hero who stands up to the tyranny and injustice that haunts Sherwood. As Robin, you’ll fight, hunt, craft, steal, and of course help the local people thrive to spite the Sheriff of Nottingham and his ruthless regime – all within an open-world environment that can be freely explored.
Robin Hood is a famous hero of medieval English folk tales, believed to have during that time roamed the forests of Sherwood with his band of loyal outlaw companions. In the game you’re going to meet those legendary characters as well, such as Lady Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, Allan-a-Dale, and Will Scarlet.
Robin's main goal is to help a fledgling community of refugees and rebels advance and expand. Starting with what could be described as a small forest settlement, with a bit of care, hard work, and good luck, it can end up as a town full of people. Recruit local peasants, rebels on the run from the law, and even the citizens and guards of Nottingham themselves as your new outlaw settlers.
You start your adventure with building a forest camp, which can soon be expanded following the arrival of new residents. You will be responsible for properly managing the space you secured for yourself within Sherwood Forest to build up the village.
Another important part of taking care of the settlement will be to manage the community members’ professions and tasks, training them to become craftsmen, hunters, or guards, and to manage the settlement’s resources, either gathering them yourself or stealing them from convoys and noble estates.
As Robin's people grow large in number and strong in sword arm, an uprising in Nottingham may just become a reality, ending the Sheriff's tyranny once and for all.
Can Robin Hood and his Merry Men survive and put an end to injustice? Their fate is up to you!
