Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

About
Ah, my glorious kingdom! A land where peasants toil, miners dig, and knights train... but only when I look at them! My gaze is law—progress thrives where I watch, but the moment I turn away? Laziness! Chaos! I must choose wisely: should I focus on the fields for food, the mines for riches, or the barracks for defense? With resources, I can even expand my all-seeing gaze, ensuring my kingdom flourishes… and that no one slacks off under my rule!
Water, wheat, stone, coal, silver—every resource fuels my empire! Farms feed my people, mines fund my ambitions, and workshops forge mighty defenses. Shall I invest in archers, reinforce the walls, or harness magic? Even my castle needs repairs when the enemy strikes! Every decision shapes my reign, and only a well-managed kingdom will survive the storm.
Rulership is no easy task! Each land presents new trials, from cursed cemeteries to infernal depths, forcing me to adapt. Yet every defeat is a lesson! As a true roguelite, my efforts grant permanent upgrades, unlocking new abilities, stronger defenses, and powerful strategies for my next reign. A true king doesn’t just rule—he evolves, forging an unstoppable legacy with each attempt!
Each battlefield hides unpredictable threats—enemies are led by unexpected Generals, demanding unique tactics to defeat. Want to conquer them all? You’ll need multiple runs! But fear not! My royal council aids me with cavalry masters, arcane sages, and cunning strategists. With their wisdom—and my unwavering gaze—victory is inevitable!
Add-ons

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

不赖，挺爽的，但是局外成长要素过多，肝度颇高，前期开荒试错成本非常高，经常是卡资源慢性死亡，不过游戏内藏梗很多，能让人会心一笑，某种程度上能消解挫败感 内容解锁差不多后凹高威胁难度还是挺爽的，各个君主也是各有特色，能够构建很多不同的玩法，就是作为肉鸽游戏打法能否成立很看运气，总体来说还是挺好玩的，对微操和规划都有要求，战斗的成就感给得很足
excellent

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Great game
Great game for a handheld if you are looking for a game to pick up play for 10 minutes or an hour easily.
Awesome concept for a "rogue-like" DLC is awesome; MORE of this please! If the devs could develop more advance production building -- that would put this game in my top 10 for sure. Also if you could choose to randomize the prep phase that would add more layers of depth to this game. To make this a top tier game: More different type of resources More type of units Overall it is a fun game and I highly recommend this game to players who like resource gathering-like games. *** Edit to the Review after playing more *** The DLC and update has made this game amazing! I haven't stopped playing this game! I still believe there needs to be more unit types. Some ideas to make this a staple: -- American Theme DLC with Washington, Lincoln, Franklin would be an automatic buy from me. -- Japan Theme DLC would be awesome too, producing Ninjas and fish would be really fun! -- Any national theme would be highly encouraged. If done right, my wallet would be hurting!! -- More Resources to chose from. For example: Deer for meat, Ocean for fish, coal for steam...the ideas are endless!! I highly recommend playing this! It has been my favorite game of 2026!!!
Love the creative idea! The game is unique, interesting, and very fun to play. Great work!
