I restarted a few times because some mechanics are hard to overcome when you don't know what is coming or a simple mistake can destroy huge chunks of your kingdom. It was amazingly entertaining on one hand but frustrating on the other. There is a Shogun setting which is a Japanese make over of the game with minor changes and some additional challenges (Some are incredibly hard). The soundtrack however is amazing and always delivered. Those are beautiful and I enjoyed it a lot but pixel art is not for everyone so take this as a warning too.
The graphics are pixel art looking a bit better than the 16 bit era (SNES and Genesis). There are blood-moons (moon turns red) and at those the Greed attacks are remarkably stronger, there are seasons and winter is hard to survive as many sources of income are not working, gems are only found from island 2 onward, hermits work like tools and can be stolen byGgreed, some mounts are far superior, loosing your monarch reset seasons and Greed attack level and finally there is a good Kingdom Wiki that explains a lot. Here a few things I wished I knew before (Spoiler warning for some but those are just advice for others). I found it frustrating but strangely also rewarding. This is a (small) negative for me and a positive for others to be fair. It is a game where you learn with each new failure and restart to get further and further. The tutorial is weak and leaves out some critical advice. Both games are excellent and have a quite addicting gameplay as all good strategy games. You need careful planing to gain the upper hand and one false decision can be devastating. Those are the basics and there is more like gems, hermits, different mounts and other stuff. It has actually some benefits to lose your monarch that I will explain later in an advice section (game has a weak tutorial). If they get the crown your monarch dies and a new monarch starts rebuilding your kingdom (Not everything is gone). If the Greed catch your monarch he or she loses coins, if no coins are available then the crown. You can escape the Island by finding a ship wreck and repairing the ship to reach the next island. They are stealing coins and tools turning your citizens back to vagrants while also destroying structures. Those attacks get stronger and stronger as the days progress (Day and Night cycles) and you have to repeal them. These monsters attack you kingdom at night.
Farms help a lot and there are others ways. There is a small tax treasure chest but it is also not useful later on.
Archers will hunt animals but this is not a safe or better said even income. Most buildings can be upgraded and for some upgrades you have to meet certain conditions. These structures cost also coins (The more improved the more coins).
Kingdom new lands hermits upgrade#
Some structures are erected automatically when you create or upgrade your Town Center. At certain locations defensive walls and towers can be erected as can farms. You build your Castle aka Town Center (base) and structures. Basic jobs are workers (adds a hammer) and archers (adds a bow) but others can be unlocked too. Those can be further trained at specific buildings in your kingdom giving them tools or weapons. Those start as vagrants and with 1 coin these become citizens. You are riding on your mount and need to collect coins. You are a Monarch and try to rebuild your kingdom. The gameplay is actually simplistic but also enjoyable and challenging. I see this game as 2D real time strategy while others say it is rouge like game. Actually it is two indie titles from developer Noi put into one game as it consist of “Kingdom: New Lands” and “Kingdom: Two Crowns” including DLC. You are a Monarch An awesome game that is enjoyable challenging but can be frustrating too. An awesome game that is enjoyable challenging but can be frustrating too.
