Survival Kingdom

What kills this game for me is that the first turn is the same as the 85th turn. The game doesn't expand at all, you'll be doing the same things every turn. It is cheap though! Here are some more thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4C8RHE0RTA

9GAG ARMY! nice game! keep up the hard work!

This is a simple town management game with periodic automated battles in between turns. If you're the type of player who enjoys optimizing your build/approach on successive runs, then there is definitely some fun to be had here. I don't think it will have much lasting appeal once you figure the system out, but there is enough meat on the bones to justify the meager asking price.

Survival Kingdom is a simple, somewhat repetitive indie strategy game. There's not much to it, and you can play through it really quickly, though you'll most likely lose - which is what makes the eventual win [i]oh[/i] so satisfying. You begin with a decent population who likes you as aleader, and because you don't know what you're doing yet, that goes downhill fast. Keep your people happy, let them make babies, and KEEP UPGRADING YOUR BUILDINGS! Get your army ready for the orcs, and really hope for the best. Because this game is so simple in terms of what you can do per turn (you don't ever gain new options on what to buy), it's a great background game to play while you do or watch something else. The only variation happens after you finish each turn, whether that's a wolf or minotaur attack, an orc invasion, or deciding whether or not to legalize prostitution. By itself, I can see it getting old after a few hours, but for $3, I'm cool with just 3 fun hours of gameplay! FINAL SCORE: 7/10 +Easy to pick up +Low price +Nice graphics and music +Can legalize prostitution -repetitive -no new strategies as game goes on [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuS_ThYmIJY&index=7&list=PLRK4WMmstPfSDJP6HXsr6X1IrdHvenKI0] Here's my gameplay videos so you can see the game in action!

[h1][b]《生存王国》(Survival Kingdom)中文评测：尚可一玩的喜+1回合策略游戏[/b][/h1] 一款像素风的回合策略游戏，更适合作为手游玩家或轻度策略游戏玩家有限体验，加上进过IG包，性价比尚称合格。 游戏无中文，但文字量其实相当有限，只要不是纯英盲均可流畅游戏。 [b]剧情[/b] 几乎没有。大意是玩家带领一群与兽人战后的幸存者，建立了一个小小王国，一面种田一面抵御兽人侵略的故事。 [b]基本概念和玩法[/b] 游戏以回合制进行，玩家可在领地鸟瞰界面上，点击相应建筑发布相应命令。 [olist] [*]王宫：可改变法令或调整税率。共3种法令，每回合可选一种且只能选一种，效果为消耗金钱带来特定buff。税率从0%到100%均可调整，影响人口增长率、犯罪率和民众支持度。 [*]兵营：可征募部队。部队总人数上限为人口的20%。部队共5个兵种，民兵和战士算步兵，战斗中充当肉盾；骑兵在战斗中会尝试优先攻击敌方远程兵种；法师和弓手算远程兵种，战斗中负责后排输出。 [*]监狱：可调整两种刑罚，会主要影响犯罪率和支持度，少量影响收入。监禁会减少收入同时增加支持度，劳改则反之。 [*]铁匠铺：可购买盔甲，做到部队人手一份可有效减少战损。还可建造3种永久增加buff的建筑。 [*]市场：游戏中最主要的金钱收入来源。玩家可把富余的资源卖出换钱，单价范围在2-5G之间。 [*]哨塔：花费少量食物，得知兽人方的军队规模。 [*]右侧的锤子图标：给各种建筑升级。游戏有两条简单的物产加工路线：浆果 - 酒、谷物 - 面粉 - 食物。 [/olist] 结束当前回合后，可能会自然跳至下一回合，玩家可根据每回合结束的报表，调整下回合思路。也可能发生随机事件，或是被兽人入侵而进入战斗界面。 [b]战斗[/b] 开战前能自主选择4种战场之一，选定后就进入全程自动看戏模式了。 [olist] [*]平地：无特定效果。 [*]桥：有利远程，不利骑兵。 [*]守城：有利我方防守，但随机破坏我方最高等级的建筑一处。 [*]树林：有利步兵，不利远程。 [/olist] 战斗画面还是莫名地萌，非常像N年前SFC上的梦幻模拟战(Der Langrisser)。打赢了会计算战损，打输了立即Game Over！！ [b]亮点和不足[/b] + 画面和音乐都很日式复古风，足够柔美。 + 上手轻松容易，同时需要一定的策略计算能力。 - 平衡性不够好，有时候开局遇上兽人入侵，或者连续遇到战斗事件，立即GG。 - 资源管理太简单。市场只能卖不能买；所有的资源只有遇到合适价格点位换钱一个功能，回合结束0食物也不要紧；产品加工路线太单调。 - 玩法单一，手机上偶尔来几个回合没问题，PC上就这么一回合复一回合地苟下去是几个意思？

A casual strategy/management game with meager content and atrocious repetitiveness. Pros: + Runs on any computer + Pleasant pixel graphics + Music is nice though repetitive + Intriguing achievements Cons: - All fights are the same - Fighting is just watching units killing each other, you on't make any strategic decision - Economy is boring and frustrating - Random events are classified into four kinds accoring how far you are in the game, meaning that you will get them multiple times for each step Verdict: Casual yet not easy, repetitive and bland, this game probable is probably best to be forgotten. Essentially lacks fun. Details: This game works in turns. You have an interface which is your town and each turn, you click on various buildings to manage your "kingdom". Forge creates armors for units, barracks allow you to hire units (5 of them, but boils down to 3 basically), and market allows you to sell goods. You can build buildings to increase the income of these goods. When you end your turn, random events can happen, with choices to be done, or you can face off an orc assault. You have to balance your gold, population increase, popularity (to my mind the hardest to deal with since I could not quite figure out which missing supplies were making every one to become unhappy). The game suffers from two things: randomness (if you have to face off heavy orc attacks for two or three turns in a row and if the market prices are low, then you keep loosing army and money). Vicious circles are extremely punishing: the smaller your army, the more losses you get, so you have to hire more units than if your army were big in the first place; unpopularity means loss of money so you cannot build the buildings to get the goods people want, etc. Once the balance is tipping off, you feel like you are doomed to fall, which is not a good feeling in a game. It does not feel challenging, it feels unbalanced. If you add the fact that all turns look the same, all fights are exactly the same (poorly animated units strike at each other in the most boring way and then you get a statistics account of the battle), you are left with something pretty much devoid of fun, though not without qualities.

Giving this game a yes based on current feedback. [which recent turned positive] WARNING! THE GAMEPLAY IS SIMPLISTIC. I GAVE A THUMBS UP TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEW THAT SAYS THE 1ST TURN IS THE SAME AS THE 85TH. That said, it took me a few hours to figure out. I'm still having fun. $3 is fair, for sure.

[h1] Survival Kingdom [/h1] [b] Pros: [/b] + Battles are fun to watch + Interesting Events + Cool Characters To Fight + Initially Lots Of Things To Learn That Is Fun + Cheap (And I got it for 50% off) [b] Cons: [/b] - Repetitive after awhile - Once you get the formula down it gets boring [b] Review [/b] Survival Kingdom is an enjoyable little game that I am happy that I played. It's not life changing or super amazing, but it's a solid little game. You take charge of a very small town and help them grow. You need to keep the people happy as well get enough gold to buy troops so you can hold back the waves of orcs. You bump into some cool events that are pretty fun too. If you have only a few dollars left in your steam wallet and if you are looking for a game that you can play for a few hours then this is the game for you.

This game is Worth the $3 Really its more then worth it i like the how the farther you get into the game the more intense it get more war and such

Now I do enjoy hard games but this game is just down right torture. You lose troops way faster than you can replace them, and in one game I got attacked 3 seasons in a row in the very start of the game. I lose before i could even hope to mount up a defense. However, I am sure others will love it. So I should perhaps try to be a bit objective. You run a kingdom thats under attack by orcs, you need to produce soldiers and keep a good economy going so you can afford the troops and armor (which works as a chance to save a soldier that gets killed) to survive against the orc horde. Where you decide to fight has a huge impact on the troops, if you have a lot of archers choose a battle field they will be superior over the orcs cavalery. These battle choices can easily make your day. However the random spawning of attacks is really fierce, seeing as most of the time you permanently lose your soldiers if they are wounded unless you have enough armor, in that case you lose the armor not the soldier. The economy aspect of the game is really simple so it isnt really fun to manage it, it is pretty straight forward get the production of food up to maximize soldiers you can have, you need gold to train soldiers and armor so important to get goods you can sell for a nice amount but do not forget to upgrade the buildings so that you get more income ect. Simple management game with torturing combat.
