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!

Reviews
Really enjoying this game so far. The idea of only being able to manage what you can see makes things surprisingly interesting, and I like how it forces you to think carefully about where to expand. Simple to understand, but there's still plenty to figure out as you play. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy strategy games.
Solid production with a few good mechanics and nice visuals, but the game lacks some depth. It feels a bit too random and could use more building options that actually matter for longer, more meaningful gameplay. It would also be nice if buildings could be combined for stronger structures, if there was some form of building evolution/upgrades, and mechanics for placing buildings next to each other for bonuses. Adding more strategy would help too — especially giving the minions proper movement and positioning options so you can actually decide what they do. Right now they just march forward, and even ranged units end up fighting in melee. That said, for this price I didn’t really expect more. It’s fun to play and takes a bit of time to fully understand, so overall a positive review from me. The difficulty is tough but fair. 6.8/10

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

ZAEBISTA!!
为什么更新后，亡灵图无法拖动工作单位啊？教程里面都可以就是正常游戏不行，还有这个界面更新的真是大粪。为啥改啊？好好的维持不行吗？改完再给好评
游戏好玩，平衡性略有不足

Game is just brilliant, 10/10. Roguelike, tower(base) defense, resource management, base management, perma-upgrades and ♥♥♥♥. Maps has extra mechanic. If you liked "Loop hero" and "The Last Spell", quite likely you will like this game as well. Anyway, demo is there.
AWESOME GAME. Very much recommend, super fun and lots of customizable gameplay.

Si te gusta este genero tipo "defensa" y gestión, este es tu juego. Me encanta el arte y la música. Es un juego de esos que no puedes parar de jugarlos y siempre te incitan a una partidas mas, se me pasan las horas volando mientras observo siendo rey... 9/10 :D
