There's nowhere to go but up! Vertical Kingdom is a card-based city builder roguelite with a twist - you can only build vertically, literally reaching for the sky with each city. Lead expeditions to gather resources, construct metropolises, and build ever upwards!

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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 23 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.
About
Vertical Kingdom is set in a world devastated by a war that lasted for an entire generation. The once great Empire is in shambles and it's up to the Great Architect to rebuild toward its former glory brick by brick. Travel the land, embark on randomized, roguelite-style expeditions, and build new cities with a fresh card-based building system combined with an intricate resource economy.
Rebuild an Empire, not through force of arms or devious politics, but brick and mortar!
Raise towering cities using a card-based system. Pick five decks each turn, then play the cards to build upwards. Manage resources like food, water, bricks, wood, stone, and metal, all needed to ensure the city has room to grow and play new cards.
As the Great Architect, it's your job to rebuild the Empire, one building and one region at a time. Undertake great expeditions to raise new cities in the Emperor's name and deal with the challenges of each region: Treacherous terrain, resource shortages, and ever-limited building space.
Take ownership of every decision and every card played as all buildings are permanent, no redos. Plan around and synergize with imperial citizen’s homes and workshops. Produce more taxes, resources, and maintain loyalty to the Empire - and just maybe the locals will help you with the great evil that lurks among the ruins...
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

"Really boring, unfun gameplay loop." 3/10.
A pleasant sorta-deck-builder sorta-city-builder. A few hours in, I haven't seen great variety from city to city, with a very similar progression throughout the experience each time. But it is still quite enjoyable! I did receive an Unreal error a couple times when loading, unfortunately. They seem to have gone away, but I don't know if they'll return.
A cozy, beautiful little city builder. Don't worry too much, just chill with it.

セーブがどのタイミングかがわからず、何度かやってたデータが初期まで巻き戻った。 いやーマジかこんな罠があるとは思わなかった・・・ 建築とカードゲームローグライトの組み合わせで、難易度を上げるほどに手札の順番などシビアになっていく ただデッキの構築は自由度がほぼなく、コスト周りをいろいろ見るとやることはほぼ変わらなくなっていった 一部カードが微妙なニュアンスで分かりづらかったりとほんのの少しの残念さもある 新たな都市を建設しようというが建設した後に見れるわけでもなく 制覇した土地をもう一度やったところでもう一度その地域で建築を始めるだけ ローグライトでいう自分のデッキが強くなるとか、組み合わせの幅が広がるとかがかなり薄い 8時間どっぷりやれたけど、セーブ消えたのも相まってここで終わり
einfach cool, entspannend drauf los bauen und dabei auch noch strategisch bauen.
Neat little game.
simple and relaxing fun. great game!
시간 잘가고 재밌네요
C'est incroyable de faire un jeu aussi simple et dont l'interface soit aussi bordélique. J'ai passé quinze tours à essayer de construire une merveille sans jamais avoir réussi à comprendre pourquoi je ne pouvais pas démarrer la construction. Il n'y a aucune infobulle pour les ressources: vous êtes censé pouvoir reconnaître un gisement de fer d'un gisement de pierre d'un simple coup d'oeil, sauf qu'en fait, non. La moitié du jeu repose sur la chance puisque si les mauvaises cartes sortent, vous ne pouvez rien faire, et au cas où ça se passerait mal, c'est retour à la ville de départ avec toutes les ressources que vous aviez mises de côté foutues à la poubelle. Tiens, bah comme ce jeu, d'ailleurs.
EDIT/UPDATED REVIEW: After a recent patch, controls have gotten better & it's now it's a much better experience! Actually loving it now! OLD REVIEW: As a card game city builder, it's ok but on the Steam Deck it's iffy (control wise). Better to play on desktop/laptop.
