Also, it hurt seeing my money being thrown in the river because the treasury was full.

Although it got slightly repetitive at some points. In short: I had quite a bit of fun playing this game and building my empire. Yet, the kingdom of Ikea is gaining strength on the second island again and this time we intend to punch through to island five! Winter apparently is a bad time to extort farmers for money, since they tend to not have any crops. The kingdom became stronger than ever! Fast forward: I tried this over and over and managed to get to the third island and got wiped out because of some bad planning and greed.

Now we had stones and money aplenty, some diamonds and even some proper working farms that brought in money faster than I could spend it. Good thing we brought in a large number of settlers, so in no time the second island had been dominated as well. The sad fact of this expansion was that the Kingdom of Ikea no longer had the access to all the wealth it had on the original island, so we needed to build it up fast and strong. So we built a boat and went to the second island. Considering the island didn’t have any stones, and money was literally overflowing the treasury daily, the princess decided that the quest had to move towards a second island. Come a few weeks later, the Kingdom spanned the entire first island, and the Greed were wiped out quickly every night. Subsequently, my kingdom slowly but surely started expanding and I had enough dough in my pockets to start exploring and chopping down the dark forests around my kingdom. I put on the Kingdom’s national anthem Valhallelujah (by the wonderful jokester-band Nanowar of Steel) and started reinforcing the core of my kingdom so I would survive at least a week. Having a yellow and blue flag, I aptly named my kingdom “the Kingdom of Ikea” and it was destined for greatness. Second round: revenge! Put every penny in archers to floor those greedy bastards as soon as the first night hit! That worked out for a bit, but the money came in slower than the amount I needed to repair the nightly damage the greed did to my kingdom, so that didn’t last too long either.īy the third try I figured out I needed a different strategy than expansion and sheer aggression, so I started out slow. As the megalomaniac I am (only in games, don’t worry), I tried to put every penny I had in gaining ground… and got wiped out by the greed on the first night. The game has a co-op mode I’ve not been able to play due to a lack of someone to play with, but it looks promising. The Norse Lands DLC is a campaign based on Vikings, it’s very different aesthetically and has a lot of new features such as you being able to wield the power of Viking gods! So there’s plenty of content to explore and land to conquer. The dead lands biome is a spookier campaign based on a horror RPG called Bloodstained with extra monarchs and powerful traits that add an extra dimension to the game after finishing the initial two campaigns. The shogun biome features mostly visual differences. There are a few different biomes, such as the Shogun biome, Deadlands biome, and the DLC Norse Lands.

The game has a lot of different buildings, different NPCs to help build and defend your kingdom with, and some different mounts to ride into glory with. The controls are straightforward and well-explained, the game is nice and simple, so you can focus on managing your kingdom best. You are able to destroy the greed by destroying their lair on every island and by doing so you might retrieve the things lost to the greed (they stole a person in my kingdom.).

The goal of the game is the absolute dominance of the five in-game islands, which all pose their own troubles, and maintaining the islands you are not actively playing on. The game is fairly intuitive from the get-go: you build your kingdom and try to expand it whilst protecting it from some evil attackers named the Greed, who want to take your crown.
