Kingdom Two Crowns

Kingdom Two Crowns is a well presented, brilliantly simple strategy game that makes some smart changes to allow more players to get involved.

Kingdom Two Crowns offers a hell of a view, but you may find its brand of light strategy too sedate if you're not one to ‘smell the roses'. Give it a chance, though, and it really grows on you. Disappointing framerate aside, it's a great introduction to the series, and valuable split-screen co-op adds a fresh, more relaxing dimension to its tower defence. If you bounced off New Lands, this won't win you over, but if the last game piqued your interest but passed you by, Two Crowns is a much easier recommendation.

Kingdom Two Crowns was not exactly what I expected, It's a very simple but complex game. I enjoyed my time with it even though I did sometimes get lost no really knowing what the next this was.

There is something special about a game that has been designed and developed by a small group of individuals. No matter the industry, we all know that working as part of a team can come with its challenges, but ultimately, the more team members there are, the greater the pool of resources and potential a project can have.

Dead Lands does a great job combining these two franchises. At the core, this is still Kingdom Two Crowns, but the additions improve upon the base game and bring an update that both Kingdom and Bloodstained fans can be happy with.

It may be a simple and repetitive game but Kingdom Two Crowns is oddly compelling and the new Dead Lands update offers even more content to sink your teeth into. In the end, it's a solid game to wind down with whenever you want to escape.

While it suffers from the same flaws as other entries in the Kingdom series, Kingdom Two Crowns is a solid strategy game that’s fun to play with friends.

Kingdom Two Crowns continues to repeat the same formule of the previous games to such an extent that it is difficult to distinguish them. With some new additions such as a campaign mode and the ability to play in multiplayer mode, fans of the saga will find plenty of reasons to justify their purchase, and other players will instead find a game with rarely seen gameplay that can ease their entry into the management genre.

Kingdom Two Crowns feels more like an update of previous Kingdom games than an entirely new sequel but that doesn't make the game any less enjoyable to play.

The visuals, music and game design of Kingdom Two Crowns should be commended, and it is refreshing to be light on tutorial and direction. It does, however, walk the treacherous line between boring and addictive. It is a slow-paced strategy game with plenty on offer, but it all comes down to how you interact with the environment how much you feel incentivised to engage with it. Patience and a relaxed state of mind are almost essential to play the game.
