KINGDOM NEW LANDS GAMEPLAY FOR FREE

Somehow.Īesthetically, it’s good pixelwork, some cool music, fitting the theme of a kingdom lost, a kingdom renewed… A kingdom threatened… And gameplay wise, it’s got depth from simple elements, resource management and tower defense… I like it. And if they take your crown, it’s all over. To take risks as the King (or Queen), because, for the majority of the game, there’s a lot you need to take a direct hand in, like distributing that coin to various projects, dropping coins beyond the battlements to maybe keep the Greed away for just one night, recruiting people by giving them coin… Riding out from the settlement, and god help you if you’re out at night, because if you don’t have coin to drop, to distract the Greed, they’ll take your crown. Story light, but it brought me back, quite a few times, to explore it.

The capital letter because it’s become an anthropomorphic force, rather than just, y’know… A lust for money or things you don’t have.

Building a ship to carry the King (or Queen) to a new land, and destroying the portals, the source of the dark Greed. …And, of course… Do I spend money on the main goals yet? Because there are two, or, more accurately, there’s one, but the second may be necessary to get the other. Creating farms is fine if you can defend them, or your temporary farms aren’t too far away from your settlement… But risky business nonetheless, because a slow citizen is a lost citizen, their tools stolen, trudging sadly back to the forest because you’ve failed them… I am a queen who leads the way for my people… Such… Such as they are… Am I the bad queen, for leaving them behind? Not so good if you want to carry on recruiting people to become bowmen, knights (later), or farmers, maybe keep the merchant, or get a steady supply of deer. Chopping trees pulls back the forest, which is great if you want more land, more walls between you and the Dark Portals of Greed. Huh, I’m short on coins… Do I create some farms? Do I chop some trees? Pay the merchant? Two of those can have consequences, if you aren’t careful. The Greed is attacking… And they’ll only become stronger the more I linger…īut, while there are aspects of that to Kingdom, and indeed, defending the kingdom is a core element of what’s going on, the other aspects are what keep me going to it. I think, honestly, it was the tower defense aspect of it, for, as long time readers of my work may know, I’m not the biggest fan of tower defense style gameplay.
