About A New World: Kingdoms
WHAT IS A NEW WORLD: KINGDOMS?
A New World: Kingdoms is a turn-based strategic 4X game.
You must carefully expand your kingdom by constructing buildings and managing your resources. But building your own empire is not easy; there will be challenges along the way, from mountains to navigate, to your rival and his warriors.
THE STORY:
After a devastating battle on the populated continent Holme, survivors of the Great War migrated across half the planet to the unclaimed continent Horga. They seeked rich land in order to rebuild the population and become prosperous once again. Learning from past mistakes, most of the city leaders collectively wrote and signed a peace agreement, allowing for trade and sharing of scientific knowledge in return for a peaceful world.
One leader did not agree with this. Vadik of Zamon refused to sign the agreement and was exiled from the group of leaders, however, he still had the resources and respect of his people to build another empire.
Afraid of another great war, the world’s leaders decided to take action against Vadik. Anything would be done to stop him forming a new empire and damaging Ustrurn’s newly found peace.
FEATURES:
Relaxing kingdom expansion
Carefully build up your kingdom, starting with your city. Build farms, town, mine and more to gather resources and keep people happy in your kingdom. Be careful not to have a negative income or run out of resources.
Stunning low poly visuals
Explore the map and build your kingdom in a beautiful, colourful world.
Defeat your rival!
Defeat your rival, Vadik, who has become unpredictable and wants to destroy anyone standing in his way of power. Destroy his city, build a monument or buy his city to win. Or at least, win for now.

Very unfriendly and confusing and that was just the tutorial. This game need a LOT more time in devloment before its ready to play. Not sure WHY this is not still in early access but in open release in such a state. I'll try this again in 12 months to see how it is then.8 found this helpful
Lol the controls menu was straight up empty and none of the onscreen buttons worked in the tutorial3 found this helpful
A New World: Kingdoms is an unusual entity in a sea of unremarkable 2D retro pixel platformers and asset flips at the bottom end of Steam. This is a genuine attempt at making a simple 4X game, a ripoff of Civilization (only not as good). Many of the same game elements are there, but in a more simplified way. Build your cities, warriors, workers, tile improvements, and build out an empire on a procedurally generated hex map. Civ was very successful, of course, so why not this ripoff? Well, for starters... it's simplified and also a lot clunkier than Civilization. Thing is... we already have Civilization. There's a basic unwritten rule in game development... if you're going to rip off someone else's game, you have to do [b]better[/b] than the game you're ripping off. Not [b]worse[/b]. The technical implementation is also a let-down. There's no options to change the resolution for the game, despite there being a small but welcome array of graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. It's strange we…2 found this helpful
The UI looks like someone threw up on the screen, the graphics aren't much better, and it seems incredibly limited and simplistic. I say "seems" because I can't actually get past turn 1. The game hangs right after I hit the end turn button.2 found this helpful
Crashes upon switching to WIndows. Switches to Full Screen per level. VERY BUGGY, and abandoned. Achievements don't work either. Should be removed from Steam.
This game is ok. It doesn't have much depth though, which the style and gameplay it's using makes feel unfulfilling to me. If you really enjoy the early early game of Civ, then you'd probably enjoy it. It's a very fast playing version of that. Limited map size, limited unit options, simplified combat. If those don't sound like bad things to you, then go for it. If you want depth, probably look elsewhere. I can't recommend it, but I have... a few hours in Civ Games, so take that as you will.
