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!

Reviews
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.
I'm someone who doesn't usually like the roguelite format of multiple runs but with this game the runs are fast and engaging enough that it didn't ever really get under my skin to need to try several times. I really enjoyed the various settings (especially the graveyard) which each function in slightly different ways and include unique buildings, defenders, mechanics, and side quests. My one wish is that there were more queens! There's only one and she's in a paid DLC.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

i just cant get enough watching goblins get gored by yin and yang unicorns
太上头了，时间杀器，根本停不下来
游戏玩法挺有意思的很符合名字。画风我能接受。很推荐尝试。前期稍微有一点肝，强势套路有限，不过自己慢慢摸索也挺有趣的。

很不错，还挺好玩的，19块钱抽出来的还行
优秀的肉鸽游戏，可惜平衡性设计不太好，但仍值得一玩
