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!

Отличная RTS/TD, которая определенно заслуживает внимания! Общая оценка: 8/10 Плюсы ➕ Интересный геймплей. Игра затягивает и держит напряжение до самого конца. Приятное аудиосопровождение. Хорошая, ненавязчивая музыка. Даже спустя 30 часов геймплея треки абсолютно не раздражают и не надоедают. Визуальный стиль. Отличная рисовка, на которую приятно смотреть. Минусы ➖ Проблемы с оптимизацией интерфейса под портатив. Я играл на Steam Deck, и там текст становится слишком мелким и трудночитаемым. Хотелось бы, чтобы разработчики как-то адаптировали интерфейс под маленькие экраны. Дисбаланс в билдах. Некоторые связки построек и юнитов откровенно «имбуют», в то время как другие на их фоне кажутся бесполезным мусором.
能接受巨量局外解锁（多肝）且一局一小时以上，高难纯各种限制玩家操作的话，可以入，除了以上基本都是优点，美术不错，事件梗多

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 2,400 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.

The premise is great, the core mechanic an TD elements are promising. But I did not like a dozen mechanics, unit types and other types of CONTENT AND CHOICES showered right from tutorial. This is worse depth of complexity than Eador. Too many decisions + TD timer stress = No time to actually relax and enjoy the game.
Прикольная вещь.Смесь рогалика,стратегии,хащиты базы и автобатлера.В игре очень хороший юмор. Советую любителям стратегий.Много кастомизации и вариантов для импровизации.Каждая катка новый экспириенс.Много уровней сложности и модификаторов.
算是一款玩法上蠻新穎的肉鴿類型塔防遊戲，每位國王的能力迥異，也有很多兵種跟建築跟神器，可以去組合搭配，並不會覺得玩個幾個小時就玩透了遊戲的感覺。 但是這款遊戲應該是那種相當對腦波的類型，因為玩起來其實不輕鬆，難度曲線上升的的幅度是很有感的，而且新手教學也不是很完善，必須得花前面4-5個小時去探索遊戲，了解玩法跟機制之後才會開始慢慢有趣一些。 另一點是作業感有點重，尤其是局外成長，這次改版之後我個人佛系慢慢玩的話，局外科技全開也大概花了60小時左右，整個過程會覺得蠻冗長的，而且很多相當好用的顧問或是科技都在蠻後面的，要挑戰高難度的話，勢必得把這些功能農出來才會有辦法打。 還有一點比較看個人的是，當你發現某個套路很強，可以穩定過關之後，願不願意去找一些新玩法來換換口味，因為老實說遊戲內兵種的平衡沒有做得很好，強勢跟弱勢分別很大，如果願意嘗鮮的話，這款會比較適合你，不然就是會變成很像都在玩一樣的內容而已，尤其高難度容錯率比較少的時候。 不過總結其實是推薦的，因為價格也不高，特價的時候購入應該算是蠻划算的，對塔防遊戲有興趣的這款會是不錯的選擇，慢慢體會的話基本上都可以玩個4-50小時跑不掉。
Highly recommend if you like games like 9Kings, tower defense, auto-battlers or roguelikes. It's got a great set of mechanics and very satisfying to build different kinds of builds and explore all the different kings and advisors.
Great game, however... the achievements are really unfun to do. Playing every map up to the max difficulty and then wining with every king on max difficulty really sapps the fun out of the game as it takes away the whole "trying different things" and you are basically locked into a meta type thing to beat each match + you are also relying on rng for what you start with and what you get. So I guess that could be summed up as "You feeling lucky punk ??". Also for anyone who wants to do a 100% achievement thing for the game, you will need the dlc as well. (Just a heads up). But overall it is a fun and funny game.<3
how about actually teaching what to do. nothing like going to youtube right away to figure out what to do, that's what we like. only half wit devs set up their gamer's experience like this. terrible first impression. refunded
Es algo dificil de empezar a jugar, pero es muy entretenido, buena mezcla de estrategia y manejo de recursos.
Didnt expect much but loved the game, very good, only think i would have improved, ive introduced more synergies, so that it would not be just static +15% hp dabage all the time
