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!

Bu oyunu gerçekten çok sevdim. Öğrenmesi kolay, oynaması keyifli ve insanı içine çekmeyi başarıyor. En sevdiğim tarafı ise gereksiz karmaşık olmaması. Aşırı zor mekanikler yok, onlarca şeyi aynı anda takip etmek zorunda değilsiniz. Zaten aceleniz de yok; zamanı durdurup düşünün, planınızı yapın ve devam edin. Basit görünmesine rağmen strateji tarafı tatmin edici ve "bir el daha" hissini güzel veriyor. Tavsiye edilir, girin takılın oynayın.
Excelente juego Arte: El pixel art es esplendido, lleno de detalles y tabajado de manera pulcra. Los escenarios, animaciones y personajes son variados, con animaciones únicas y fluidas, muy bellas y por demás lleno de detallitos extra, cosas sucediendo fuera de tu vista a menos que le prestes atención. Jugabilidad: Muy fresco, mezcla tower defense, con roguelike y gestión, haciendolo un título que se siente como algo nunca jugado a la fecha. A esto se le suma que los desarrolladores presuntamente deben ser jugadores también, porque la progresión está hecha de manera impecable. A medida que progresas desbloqueas nuevos bonus, algunos permanentes otros a elegir según gusto y situación (como los regentes o los consejeros), a diferencia de otros juegos de repetición este título incita a gastar en bonus a la par que avanzas, a mayor progreso todo se vuelve más complejo, logrando un desarrollo en la cual el desafío y las novedades nunca terminan: te ves apoyado ante las nuevas adversidades a través de los bonus y mejoras. Además, a diferencia de un aumento de dificultad barato, como que los enemigos golpeen más o tengan mas vida (cosa presente, pero no única), cada dificultad nueva añade desafíos únicos no vivibles en dificultades más bajas. Música Maravillosa, cada nivel posee 2 o 3 tracks que varias en 3 formas distintas, ya sea en los menús de elección o compra, visión del reino o en batalla. Son realmente buenas y atmosfericas, haciendo cada partida un deleite auditivo. Una de mis mejores inversiones a la fecha.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

ммм, найс, купил улучшение на кол-во советников, перезашёл в игру, вместо доп слота дали кристал вознесения. Спасибо разработчик
Слетает прогресс каждые 2-3 перезахода в игру
Completely unplayable on Steam Deck. The controls, while they technically exist, are atrocious, and all in-game instructions assume the use of a keyboard, so you can only figure out how to use ANY function through trial and error. Godawful experience, so angry I wasted my money. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU INTEND TO PLAY ON STEAM DECK. The "playable" status it shows for deck is completely misleading. It is not and will not be playable until the devs patch in controller/deck recognition and automatically update the controls as described in-game to instead reflect a controller layout. Every other game I've ever played on my deck originally for PC has automatically switched directions for controls from keyboard to controller-why can't this one? This is exactly my kind of game, so it's a shame I can't play it. I've requested a refund on my wasted money. It's seriously unethical that the Steam Deck compatibility for this game is listed as "playable." That is a straight up lie. The tutorial told me to click on a tile and use the shift button to move it. How do I do that on deck, exactly? No clue. I'm not going to fight a game just to play it. Worthless, unplayable garbage on deck. Do not get this game if you plan to play on console.
Крутой разраб
A good game, perfect for playing a few quick sessions from time to time. The variety of unit classes and kings gives it enough diversity to keep the experience from feeling repetitive. A highly recommended title.
I am so bad at this game, but I can not stop playing! Really engaging game, its art style is endearing. The more you play the more you unlock, at a nice pace which keeps it interesting. Don't watch and play the game!
Сначала не вкатила, а потом как вкатила!
Um dos melhores games do gênero, simples e compleo ao mesmo tempo, a personalização é razoável com potencial para se tornar algo ainda mais incrível.
