Kingdom: New Lands

Kingdom: New Lands is a minimalist strategy game about exploring unfamiliar isles, discovering how the world works and managing a kingdom. You begin with one ruler, a horse and a bag of coins, then recruit loyal subjects to help build, attack and defend your realm. The game leaves you to work out its rules and how to use the items, characters and mysterious statues you encounter.

Explore the new lands

You sail to far-off isles in search of new kingdoms. The islands hold new mounts, merchants and vagrants, along with secrets and obstacles. Greedy creatures are not the only threats: the environment can also prevent your arrival or defeat you.

Build and defend

Each night, greedy creatures try to take your coins and crown. You manage your kingdom, upgrade your homestead and choose different unit types to attack and defend. Your subjects help with building and fighting, while you work out how to connect the kingdom’s systems into an effective strategy.

What the game offers

Exploration, discovery and survival are central to the experience. You may need to rebuild and recover as you overcome obstacles, and the game does not explain everything for you. It also features a soundtrack that has received two honorable mentions from the Independent Games Festival.
