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!

前はクリアした時すぐにリザルトに移ってクリアが味気なかったが演出が追加されていい雰囲気になっていた ゲーム部分は前から面白いので高評価です
Quite good and polished game. Smooth learning curve, many funny cutscenes between enemy waves. If you like "tower defence" or better "city defence", you will not regret taking this one.
Great game, kind of puzzle-like version of 9-kings with resource management
Great game for 20-30 hours of relaxed but challenging fun, 50-100 hours if you want to beat all challenges. Play at least until map 2 before you form an opinion.
Great variety and lots of different mechanics that keep the gameplay loop feeling fresh. Lot's of replayability
provata la demo, hanno aumentato un sacco i contenuti del gioco, bellissimo aggiornamento e gioco.
I love this game, it has infinate replay-ability, 10/10
per il momento è veramente un bel gioco
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.
Крепкий роглайт с интересной механикой фарма ресурсов, которая заставляет каждый раз выбирать приоритет. Приятная музыка на фоне и красочный пиксель арт не оставляют равнодушным, но, дольше пары забегов за раз лично я не могу выдержать. Не потому что долго, а просто выматывать начинает со временем. Но если давать себе короткий перерыв между сессиями - играть не надоедает и после 10+ часов. Пока прошёл на 3+ уровень только две карты, но даже между ними есть достаточно различий и модификаторов сложности, чтобы не наскучить. В общем, рекомендую!
