Kingdoms and Castles

I got my money's worth and I've got enough complex games to play. I want more that are simple and that are as satisfying as this, and while I'm done with it for now, I'm betting I'll be drawn back before the year is done.

Kingdoms and Castles is a solid effort, especially coming from such a small team. The game lacks longevity, but at $10, it may be worth picking up by those who enjoy base-building games but don't enjoy the difficulty and complexity that often comes with the genre.

A great little game with an amazing aesthetic, but with a lot of ways to grow.

Fantastic little city builder to play for a few hours at a time. Generally lacking in content, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Kingdoms and Castles is a charming, relaxing, and easy to play real-time kingdom builder.

Kingdoms and Castles is entering into a competitive genre and may struggle to get noticed, but the ease of play and nice balance between simplicity and complexity makes it worth taking a look at. Just be sure to consider what you're going to do when the Vikings come calling.
