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!

I've had a great time with this game. The dev team has pushed out fantastic update after fantastic update. I really enjoy coming back to this game every couple of months to play again. The runs can get a bit formulaic due to the strength of some builds that you can typically force but with new characters you can challenge yourself to a different playstyle. I would recommend this to someone who liked those wave based flash games like Age of War or Last Stand. 8/10 Game for me.

for the price, massive game. keeps you hooked
this ♥♥♥♥ is so hard bro
I love this game, it has infinate replay-ability, 10/10
There is no apparent way to undo upgrade point spending. Since the game has been updated and the upgrade trees and tiers have changed, there is great strategic pressure to reallocate points. My original set of upgrades worked at one point, however now I am stuck with what I have picked, with no way of going back. I wish I could reset the game to play through it all again. Fun the first few plays; frustrated and salty how the devs have approached changing the game.
非常好游戏，如果有创意工坊就更好了 very good game，and it'll be better if there's steam workshop
