You mean Kingdom? ;-p

Excellent. :D

To be fair, it's mostly one people :)

Very interesting release. Really intriqued by the Castle Story like gameplay. Wishlisted.

But, I want to... :'(

I also don't want any regional pricing bull... :(

Checked the official site and there's no Humble store widget either from which one could cheat it... too bad, because the let's play I saw of it showed it's my kind of game, lovely pixel art graphics too.

Any idea whether there's a way to win, or do you just keep going until you die?

Makes me think of Shadow of the Unicorn for some reason.

How do you know they don't?.

I like the art style. Let's wait for some reviews.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

Also, it's neat to see a triple platform release. Adds to the injury. :(

Is it really that much of a problem? I'd understand it somewhat if there was no DRM-free version at all, but would you really pirate it just because they expect you to pay 1 or 2 Euro more than whatever the US price is? Worst case you could just wait for a discount instead.

And the whole discussion of regional pricing aside, the European price seems to be around 10 Euro, which doesn't seem bad at all for this kind of game, no?

So, on topic, does anyone know more about the game? Most importantly, is this a "rogue-lite", in the sense that you always start over at zero whenever you lose the game? Or is there any kind of permanent progress, such as upgrades, unlocked items etc.? Because I find the latter to be much more motivating. Kind of like the way it works in Rogue Legacy. And is there any story, as well as a goal to achieve, or do you just play until you meet your inevitable doom?

Supposibly. Devs have refused to elaborate but said that 3 (iirc) people had beat the game before release. I suppose it's by sending knights on expedition to destroy the portals but it's risky as DGA send 2 knights each accompanied with 3 archers and it caused mass retaliation from the portal and it was daytime. Previous lesser attempts had simply resulted expedition being slaughtered. May be matter of timing or numbers but havent seen anyone succeed yet.

I only know what I've seen in videos and read devs say on steam forums but here goes:

winning I already elaborated above but as I said I have neither seen it and devs are tight lipped beyond saying it exists and can be done

No progress between games, always start new game from zero.

One save (on exit), perma death ala roguelikes.

Map is randomly generated but seem to maintain same overal structure with starting postion in central plain with forest containing recruitment camps and portal on both sides (portal, forest with camps, starting plain, forest with camps, portal). Some have mentioned (and there are screenshots) that there are things beyond initial portals and there's an upgrade shrine somewhere that allows stone structures (one report of it spawning beyond intial portals). Trader can spawn inside forest and fills random tool shop to the brim (bows, hammers or hoes) if you pay him (4 coins I think it was so real cheap).

Well spotted :-)

I really like the concept and visual style of this one. :-)

That's unfortunate. I've played some true roguelikes, but those make up for the lack of permanent in-game progress by providing you with dozens of character race/class combinations, and other factors, so each new playthrough feels truly different. I doubt that's the case here, at least not to the same extent. The game still looks interesting, but I think I'll pick it up during a promo, not right now.
