About Amarta: Kingdom of Shadows

✦ AI summary

Amarta: Kingdom of Shadows is a kingdom-building strategy game where you play as Bima, one of the five Pandawa brothers, constructing a prosperous nation from a cursed forest while battling supernatural Jin and territorial bosses. The game weaves Indonesian Wayang Kulit shadow puppetry traditions and the classic Babad Wanamarta legend into its gameplay, creating a culturally rich experience that blends real-time combat, resource management, and territorial conquest.

Play as Bima, a warrior of the five Pandawa brothers. Bima and his brothers were stripped of their rightful claim to the throne of Astinapura, and so they built a new kingdom, Amarta. But the path was never easy, for they raised their kingdom upon a cursed forest, sovereign land of the Jin.Build your KingdomYou will play as a king who leads his people toward a greater future. Construct facilities, gather resources, and guide your people as your settlement grows into a prosperous nation.Defend Against the JinYou can fight at the front lines with your bare fists, the Kuku Pancaka, cutting down every enemy that stands before you. You can also fortify your territories and shield your palace from enemy raids.Defeat Bosses and Conquer New TerritoriesEvery territory is ruled by its own boss. Defeat them, and expand your dominion to the far reaches of the land.Wayang Kulit is a traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry performance that originated in Java. The term “wayang” means shadow or imagination, while “kulit” refers to the leather material used to craft the puppets. These intricately carved puppets are made from buffalo hide and are manipulated behind a white screen with a light source, creating shadow silhouettes visible to the audience.Recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, Wayang Kulit represents a rich synthesis of visual art, literature, music, and performance, making it one of the most significant cultural traditions in Indonesia.Babad Wanamarta is a story from the Javanese Wayang Kulit tradition that tells about the founding of the Pandawa kingdom in a wild and dangerous forest called Wanamarta. In the story, the Pandawa are given a barren and cursed forest by the Kurawa as a political maneuver to remove them from power. Instead of accepting defeat, the Pandawa decide to transform the forest into a prosperous kingdom. With determination, wisdom, and cooperation, they begin clearing the forest, building settlements, and defending their land from various supernatural threats such as demons, spirits, and mystical creatures that inhabit the wilderness.

An interesting game with its lore and visual, really showing its Bali culture! It is unfortunate the gameplay can be very short and mostly feels the same for each levels. Thanks for showing bali culture & hope it will be better for future games!

Loved the art style! It's a historical game inspired by Wayang and Indonesian culture, and I really enjoyed the cutscenes as well. I think this is a great way to introduce and teach Indonesian history through a game. On top of that, it's completely free to play, which makes it even better. Overall, a really good game!

Honestly, you had me at "Kingdom-like"! I love the Kingdom series and have been starving for more since the Olympus expansion, while this game is fairly short, and quite a bit clunkier than the real thing, I had a really nice time with it. You don't need to know what "Kingdom" is to enjoy this. You play as the great warrior Bima, raising cities and punching devils. You gather treasure and use it to recruit warriors to fight with you, builders to cut trees and make walls, and farmers to ...well, farm. When night falls, defend your walls from the evil "Jin" horde, as you expand across the land towards the evil mirror images of you and your brothers. When the boss is defeated you move to the next region. The Indonesian mythology setting is really cool, and the art style/spooky old wise man narration of the cutscenes is great! (I have no idea how accurate the legends are, I'll have to look into them) The gameplay is cute and cartoony, but still has some nice environments. And I really like that you can actually punch things yourself! Now while I had a great time, I do have 3 gripes, and a bug to mention: --- First, The wall placement PART 1 your troops gather in groups at eac…
