Kingdoms and Castles

It's a nice, relaxing city builder. There's not a lot of complexity for a city builder, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I feel this was a good introduction to this style of game. It took me about 18 hours to get 100% achievments, for whatever that's worth. For only $10, I'd recommend picking it up if you have even a passing interest in this type of game.

I love Knights and Merchants, Settlers 2 10th anniversary, just for context. I initially didn't like this game due to the graphics being simplistic lego characters. But after 20 mins I foundit a nice, relaxing delightful medieval city builder. The options are great, you can build a city with no enemies to practice, or if you don't like military action (which does wear thin after a while, but is still fun) or you can play with dragons and vikings which respawn reguarly, on easy or normal difficulty. So far I've only played it on easy and have enjoyed the chill action, relaxing music and delightful town, and yes the graphics did grow on me. If you want a really detailed, in depth military Real time combat, this isn't for you, if you prefer city building with some combat, this is well worth a shot.

Quite intuitive, bug-free, plays well on Linux without GPU with a good CPU and at easy it's a very relaxing and non-punishing game that I can't put down easily.

FYI, about the GOG version of this game, which I loved, and bought long ago on GOG. Updates on GOG come with NO patch notes. This is not the only indie game this happens with. Mods from Steam do NOT seem to be available on GOG. There is an active mod community on Steam. If you don't have this already on GOG, I recommend not buying it here. GOG doesn't really care about this game, or many other little indie titles anymore. I won't buy these little indie games from GOG anymore. The game is great for what it is, just don't buy it here.

Cool game! Well worth playing - Still some flaws, like Vikings attacking very often sometimes. But I can only see the game getting better as the developer updates and tune the game. Recommended!
