Kingdom: New Lands - Skull Island
Kingdom New Lands now brings a 6th island to explore and develop. This will present the greatest challenge never-before-seen in Kingdom, and will put your every skill to the test. Can you survive the nights and be the ruler that your people need?
Tales spread of far off isles with mysteries waiting to be discovered. Rulers will need all the strength of their subjects to sail away and find new kingdoms in these New Lands.
Kingdom: New Lands builds upon the award-winning gameplay and mystery of Kingdom by introducing an abundance of new content to the IGF-nominated title while maintaining the simplicity and depth that legions of monarchs have come to experience and enjoy. Travel to the New Lands and welcome the deluge of new mounts, merchants, and vagrants that call these isles home, but be wary of the new obstacles that threaten your arrival -- for not just the greedy creatures block your way but even the environment itself can defeat you.
Be brave, ruler, and fight to the bitter end, lest these New Lands conquer you instead.
Kingdom: New Lands is a superb 2d stategy game with rich retro graphics, but this version is outdated, missing "Skull Island" DLC.
The good
- very nice retro gfx
- nice art, music
- unique gameplay
The bad
- short (5 islands only)
- GOG version is missing the plus DLC island level.
The biggest problem with this game is the way the maps are generated, they have a bit of randomness to them, sadly this can completely fuck you over and doom your playthrough. I once had a start without bunny's, without deer, without a merchant, with only a single farm that was a ways out and on top of all that the trees were placed in such a way that it hampered rapid expansion. I also had not yet unlocked any gold generating mounts so I was just plain fucked over.
The other problem is you have to start over from the very first island every time you die. You have to play the useless first island every time. The game also always starts with the tutorial enabled, and while the tutorial messages are skippable you can't disable them.
The game also gives no options to change the sex of your character and the colours of your kingdom, you just get what the RGN gods give you and if you don't like it you have to start a new game, which makes you sit through a loading screen every time. It's just annoying and sad that something so simple to implement isn't in the game. It has some cool looking shield emblems and colour combinations but also a lot of shitty ones, it's so disappointing you can't even choose your gender.
The AI of your people has improved over the first game, which is nice to see, still not perfect but it helps a lot. You can still get into these spirals of losing everything you worked for with but a single wrongly spent coin, this game really needs a way to undo spent coins so you can at least correct mistakes. It's also nice that your own catapults can no longer harm you. But the archers are as poor shots as ever, I've seen whole waves of arrows from 20+ archers hit nothing but your own wall multiple times in a row.
All problems aside this can be a fun game if luck is on your side and you don't mind having to figure out everything by trial and error. It is very a beautiful game with amazing pixel art that has a great atmosphere.
