Kingdoms And Castles | Masterful 4x City Builder for Console
106Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review. In this episode I check out a new Indie City Builder called Kingdoms And Castles on the Playstation.
This game is the breakout title by small developer Lion Shield, and was published by my friends at Blitworks, who produced several games ive previously reviewed including Heroes Of Hammerwatch, The Are Billions, Everhood Eternity Edition and Dig Or Die.
Kingdoms And Castles takes place during the middle ages, a time of great uncertainty, where disease and death are commonplace. The game follows the rise of the Lord of a Tiny Village. You will build up your new home from poverty, creating a Giant Kingdom that will last centuries. Along the way you will contend with threats such as Viking Raiders, Harsh Weather, Hungry Dragons, Plague, Famine and the machinations of other scheming rulers. The game boasts a robust set of technologies to unlock, buildings
to construct, factions to manage and hostile enemies to fend off.
The greatest strength of this game is its ability to do what few other City Builders can, to create an excellent, accessible experience for console players. This is achieved through a simple and easy to understand UI, excellent controls and several difficulties to cater for players of all skill levels. This is by far, one of the best 4x City Builders on the PlayStation, with the only limitation being the lack of a Cooperative or Multiplayer Mode
I highly recommend this to fellow strategy fans who enjoyed Blitworks other titles.

================================================
Kingdoms and Castles is a city-building simulation game about growing a kingdom from a tiny hamlet to a sprawling city and imposing castle.
Your kingdom must survive a living and dangerous world. Do the viking raiders make off with your villagers? Or are they stopped, full of arrows, at the castle gates? Does a dragon torch your granary, your people dying of starvation in the winter, or are you able to turn the beast back? The success of your kingdom depends solely on your skill as a city and castle planner.
Strategically layout your town to improve your peasants' happiness and to attract new residents. Tax them just enough to fund your castle. Make sure your peasants are fed in the winter and healed of plagues. Build churches to keep them from despair and taverns to keep them happy. You can even throw festivals if you've built a town square! Send out wood cutters to collect wood, set up stone quarries to build your castles, and farm the land efficiently so your town can grow and thrive.
The new land you're settling is at risk of viking invasion. These raiders seek to kidnap and kill your peasants, steal your resources, and burn your town to the ground. Use a powerful castle building system where castles are constructed using blocks which can be placed anywhere. Towers and walls are dynamically created based on how you stack and arrange them. Archer towers and other weapon emplacements have longer range the higher their tower. Try different layouts to best protect your kingdom and express your glory as a king or queen.
And it all takes place in a beautiful dynamic world with a stylized procedural cloud system and season cycle from summer to winter. A realistic tree growth algorithm simulates the forests. Depending on your needs, wood cutters can clear cut or responsibly manage your forests.
Forge your kingdom's destiny in Kingdoms and Castles, a captivating city-building adventure where your choices define your realm's prosperity and survival.
