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.

My favourite relaxing, creative game :)
A well-balanced game for deck-building gamers. The UI is well-organized, intuitive and easy to play. It feels more like an economic management game than a city building game. I'm so ready for some DLC or a sequel.
Beautiful.

49的打折价格有点贵了，内容中规中矩，甚至平衡不太好。基于价格只能给差评了，总不可能给好评
Kein sehr langes aber auch kein zu kurzes Spiel. Es hat Spaß gemacht.
Bon jeu mais court et peu de contenus
作為一款城市卡牌遊戲, 遊玩內容少 每回合選擇將卡牌(建築物)放在地圖上... 沒有特別的內容
So far so good,from description I was expecting more verticality like for instance the game SimTower and the "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" doesn't sound like it . But atm, it is fun soooo why not
나름대로 슴슴하게 재밌는편
游戏的像素美术不太合我个人的胃口，不过这事大家各有喜好。 但是这游戏的UI确实不敢恭维，作为建设类游戏没有把最重要的建设部分放在画面中央，而是充斥着不可建造的填充物。作为卡牌游戏在拿取卡牌时没有放大，反而缩到屏幕下面根本看不清说明。 建设的体验也非常糟糕，你能想象一个主打垂直方向建设的游戏部分生产建筑却限制在地面上吗？而且相邻加成竟然给了游戏中需要大量建设的房屋而不是生产建筑，以及需要手动触发的遗物，增加了游戏操作量，带来的收益却是蚊子腿，反正我是不能从中得到什么规划的乐趣。 框架如此糟糕以至于没有深入研究数值的兴趣。
