About
Ah, my glorious kingdom! A land where peasants toil, miners dig, and knights train... but only when I look at them! My gaze is law—progress thrives where I watch, but the moment I turn away? Laziness! Chaos! I must choose wisely: should I focus on the fields for food, the mines for riches, or the barracks for defense? With resources, I can even expand my all-seeing gaze, ensuring my kingdom flourishes… and that no one slacks off under my rule!
Water, wheat, stone, coal, silver—every resource fuels my empire! Farms feed my people, mines fund my ambitions, and workshops forge mighty defenses. Shall I invest in archers, reinforce the walls, or harness magic? Even my castle needs repairs when the enemy strikes! Every decision shapes my reign, and only a well-managed kingdom will survive the storm.
Rulership is no easy task! Each land presents new trials, from cursed cemeteries to infernal depths, forcing me to adapt. Yet every defeat is a lesson! As a true roguelite, my efforts grant permanent upgrades, unlocking new abilities, stronger defenses, and powerful strategies for my next reign. A true king doesn’t just rule—he evolves, forging an unstoppable legacy with each attempt!
Each battlefield hides unpredictable threats—enemies are led by unexpected Generals, demanding unique tactics to defeat. Want to conquer them all? You’ll need multiple runs! But fear not! My royal council aids me with cavalry masters, arcane sages, and cunning strategists. With their wisdom—and my unwavering gaze—victory is inevitable!

표지가 정말 사기 싫게 생겼는데, 생각보다 괜찮은 게임임. 왼쪽에 5x5의 왕의 영지가 있고, 여기서 건물을 짓고 왕의 시선을 조절해가면서 심시티, 자원 관리, 디펜스를 위한 병력생산을 하게 된다. (왕의 시선 바깥에 있는 자원과 건물은 농땡이를 부려서 아무 효과가 없다) 제한적인 맵 내에서 제한적인 왕의 시선을 최대한 요리조리 움직여가면서 랜덤으로 주어지는 건물들을 적재적소에 활용하는 것이 게임의 재미. 다만 고난이도로 갈수록 플레이어에게 가해지는 제한이 너무 무거워지는데, 게임이 좀 불쾌하게 어려워진다는 느낌은 있다. 그래도 이정도면 충분히 할만한 게임이고, 업데이트도 활발하게 해주는데 가격도 부담스럽지 않아 관련 장르를 좋아하시는 분들은 한 번 쯤 해볼만 하지 않나 싶음.
不能sl，其他方面玩过的都差不多，兵种选择固定，打法公式，太吃议会，得开修改器改一下绿币 其他部分完全是合格的，流程长度适中，难度适中值得购买，但是还是不给好评-等什么时候上了sl功能再好评 真私募了，占了我兵容量不出兵，还不让造，不修bug前不改评价

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Не разделяю восторгов. Графика пиксельная, экран перегружен, от этого кажется все неразборчивыми пятнами. Сама идея не плохая, можно было сделать все по красивее в стиле banner saga например, и тогда все не резало бы так глаза. На скриншотах как то все мягче выглядит... Парадокс в том что хорошие идеи реализуют плохой картинкой, а хорошую картинку плохим наполнением, баланс редкость.
Eles estão de olho em nois da Silva
This game reminds me of when i won it big in Vegas and upon waling out of the casino i was swarmed by crackheads and the likes and was forced to build a fort in a nearby alley, and with the help of rats i quickly tamed, built a small city and made rats fight he homeless. although compensating the rats cost me a pretty penny and most of my newfound fortune. but overall worth it
Just giving my positive review after the new UI and controller support update! Game is really good, and to being able to play in the steam deck makes everything even better!
Прям очень залипательная игра!! Не ожидал, что игра на столько много времени сможет меня увлечь, а из-за наличия разнообразных режимов и персонажей, кажется в ней я проведу ещё не мало времени. И оптимизация хорошая)
相当高质量的游戏，在如今以3D高画质为主流的时代，这款游戏的像素化风很吸引我，它同时拥有动听的音乐和优秀且全面的游戏机制，10威胁关卡会在不让玩家玩腻了的同时给玩家新的挑战和新鲜感。我一上手是真的停不下来啊，在我自以为要电子阳痿的时候给我来上这么个细糠，真不错
Age of Empires battle with catan-style resources and a unique system of turning buildings on/off with gaze. 9/10
아니 장난해요? 게임 구매하고 튜토리얼 하는데 게임 멈추고, 그럴수있지 하고 본게임 들어가서 멈추고 이게 말이 됩니까?
