Developed by Lion Shield Studios, Kingdoms and Castles is a simulation city builder RTS with resource management that is coming March 21 to PlayStation®4 and 5. Create your medieval kingdom from scratch on a cozy, bucolic island with a beautiful low poly aesthetic and choose between 5 different game modes. Focused on having fun, Kingdoms and Castles gameplay offers a calmed experience thanks to simplified mechanics and a cozy aesthetic and soundtrack. You can pause the game anytime you need to study the situation and decide your next move. – Design the city. Strategically plan your city to increase the happiness of your villagers and attract new residents. Offering more than 80 different buildings between accommodations, public services, military facilities, defense buildings, crops… – Manage resources. Decide how you invest the different supplies (wood, iron, stone, iron, coal, food and money) and make sure you are producing enough to keep growing. Command your citizens to work, harvest or build. The more homes you offer, the more civilians can live in your kingdom, resulting in greater tax collection and work speed, but keep in mind that you will need to produce more food and serve the needs of more people! – Take care of your citizens. Make sure they are happy and lacking for nothing, or they will start leaving the kingdom! Taking care of the taxes you apply, managing food reserves throughout the year, keeping them protected from enemy attacks and offering hospitals, libraries or baths will make them stay by your side for generations. – Fortify and defend. Ruling a kingdom is not easy… Vikings, dragons, wolves and ogres will attack your city and villagers every so often, so make sure you build enough defense towers and walls protecting key sites on the map! Having an army does not harm you, either… – Set in a living world that offers change of seasons that influences harvests, dynamic clouds, herds of animals and growing forests. You can add other kingdoms to the same map to forge alliances! “Build, defend, and thrive. From humble beginnings to a mighty realm. Harvest, trade, and nurture. The fate of your people rests in your hands. Will your kingdom stand the test of time? Your journey awaits.”
