Description
Tales have been shared across distant islands, each one filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. As a ruler, you will need the full strength of your people to embark on a journey, sail across the seas, and discover new kingdoms within these mysterious New Lands. Kingdom: New Lands expands upon the award-winning gameplay and intrigue of the original Kingdom by adding a wealth of new content, all while preserving the simplicity and depth that have captivated countless monarchs throughout the years. Your quest takes you to unknown shores, where you will encounter new mounts, merchants, and wanderers who call these lands their home. However, be cautious, for the challenges you face are not only from the creatures that seek to take what is yours but also from the harsh environment itself, which can prove to be just as dangerous as any foe.
Kingdom: New Lands requires you to think critically and figure out how to overcome obstacles on your own. Along the way, you'll encounter various items, NPCs, and enigmatic statues, all of which could potentially aid you in your mission to build and protect your kingdom. However, the true challenge lies in understanding how these elements can be utilized to your advantage.
The game features a unique blend of exploration, resource management, and strategic defense, all set in a beautifully crafted world. As you navigate through the New Lands, you will have to make crucial decisions about how to develop your kingdom and defend it from the ever-present dangers that lurk in the shadows. You'll need to manage your resources carefully, recruit loyal subjects to assist with building and defending your realm, and make sure that your defenses are strong enough to withstand the nightly attacks from hostile creatures that seek to steal your crown and coins.
With a variety of upgrades available for your kingdom, you will be able to improve your homestead, recruit different types of units for both offense and defense, and uncover the many secrets hidden across the land. Each new discovery could potentially offer valuable advantages, but it’s up to you to decide how to best use the tools at your disposal. Whether you focus on enhancing your military forces or strengthening your economic power, the path to success in Kingdom: New Lands is yours to choose.
The game also features a stunning soundtrack that has garnered two honorable mentions at the Independent Games Festival, further adding to the immersive experience of exploring and building in this vast, mysterious world. As you work to establish your kingdom, the atmospheric music helps create a sense of urgency and determination, pushing you forward as you fight to protect your realm from the encroaching threats that seek to destroy everything you’ve built.
In Kingdom: New Lands, you will face both external and internal challenges, and it will take all of your wit, strategy, and bravery to succeed. Will you be able to conquer the New Lands, or will you fall victim to the perils that lie in wait? Only the strongest rulers will thrive in this ever-changing world, and it’s up to you to prove that you have what it takes to survive.
Features include:
- One ruler, their loyal horse, and a bag of coins to begin your journey.
- Nightly attacks by greedy creatures determined to steal your wealth and crown. Defend against them!
- Loyal subjects who will help you build, defend, and expand your kingdom.
