## About Patron

Patron is a medieval strategy and simulation game released in 2021 by Overseer Games. Players manage a class-based population, issuing decrees and policies while handling disasters and events as they unfold. Resource chains require careful balancing and optimization, with a tech tree progression system unlocking new building options over time. Reviewers highlight that the class-based population reacts dynamically to decrees, and players note the diverse climate and map options add variety to each session. The game costs $19.99 and is not supported on Steam Deck. It received a 74 percent positive rating from 1,572 Steam reviews. Players describe the experience as both contemplative and relaxing despite its challenging systems. Mod support enhances replayability, and players appreciate how the social dynamics layer adds depth beyond typical city builder mechanics.
