A 2D sidescrolling micromanagement simulator in a pixellated medieval landscape, it tests attention, patience and strategy in equal measure. It make no sence to play it again, until game is not fixed.Something of a cult hit when it appeared on Steam, and more recently on XLBA, NOIO and Liquorice games' (published by Raw Fury) Kingdom: New Lands makes its way to Nintendo Switch. Upper levels are only frustrating nightmares, where terrible concept issues ruin gameplay. Easy relaxing game, where you have to expand correct way to win. very often you have to restart level, because its impossible to win game - if you have counter for each profession - if new minions are moving faster to your base and not moving like snails - mission hints to understand what are doing some unique buildings in higher levels First levels are how it should be. if peasants are not stupid and run in incoming ghosts outside wall - if generated world has some logic. if there are not present monsters, which can't be killed and ruin your base without possibility to fight with them, even if you have strongest defense. minions are taking always first tool in their way and you cant undo created tool. It should be very good game: - if there is possible to set, on which side to sent your troops - if you can prioritize profession for your It should be very good game: - if there is possible to set, on which side to sent your troops - if you can prioritize profession for your people. It means that a momentary lapse of reason can completely ruin hours of work. This is a deliberate design choice by the game makers. There is no ability to cancel a command. Or telling units not to occupy a particular tower. However, the game would really benefit from some basic behaviour management, such as being able to direct a percentage of NPC unit types (on a per-unit-type basis) to go in one direction or the other. It's fairly predictable in its stupidity, so it's largely possible to work around the stupidity of the NPCs. If you've got a bad level, it's not always obvious until you've wasted a few hours. The levels are randomly generated, so you sometimes get a really good one and sometimes a really bad one. The inevitable result is getting your ass handed to you (often only some hours later). There can be a huge lag between making a strategic choice and discovering the consequence. Expect to feel frustrated during a very difficult learning curve. I ended up looking up answers on the Internet, but this has the risk of exposure to major spoilers. The completely obscure mechanics require you to waste fruitless hours in experimentation and replaying levels when a simple, brief explanation would save you from all that pointless grind. And then expect to lose because your choices were bad.
Expect to spend money on things without having any idea of what they will do or what the implications are. Due to the low-resolution pixel graphics, it's not always obvious what a thing even is. THE BAD: - The game makers explain basically NOTHING, with the in-game tutorial offering only the most elementary information on the UI interaction.
I did not have the heart to try the bonus Skull Island DLC. When I beat the final island and saw the credits roll, it felt good! It took me about 22 hours. The game does not allow save scumming, which leads to a much more exciting and tense game. Some genuine surprises are in store (there was at least one moment where my jaw dropped and I nearly had a heart attack), although the surprises can be quite demoralizing at times. Basically, you choose where to go (it takes time to move from point A to point B and you can't be everywhere at once), and you choose where to spend your limited funds. THE GOOD: - There is some some genuine strategy in very simple mechanics. However, you're expected to replay a level many times as you discover the mechanics, the consequences of your actions, and unlock bonus features that you will need to win. It's kind of a strategy version of a Rogue-like, meaning that it's a strategy game rather than strictly a fighting game, as your character doesn't do any fighting directly.
