King Charles: Rise of the Alpha is a survival roguelite developed by DodoModo and BoppoLoppo and published by Realify Games. Built around the increasingly popular arena-survival formula, the game introduces players to an unlikely hero: a courageous canine king determined to overcome endless waves of enemies. While its premise carries a playful and humorous tone, the gameplay underneath is surprisingly focused and addictive, combining automatic combat mechanics, progression systems, and strategic character development into a package designed for repeated runs. The game's foundation revolves around surviving increasingly dangerous enemy assaults while gathering experience and resources. Like many titles in the genre, attacks occur automatically, allowing players to dedicate their attention to movement and positioning. This design choice transforms every session into a balancing act between aggression and survival. Navigating through dense enemy formations while collecting rewards becomes increasingly challenging as the battlefield fills with threats, creating a constant sense of momentum that keeps players engaged from the opening minutes to the final moments of a run.

I played the demo and liked it from the start. The current version is much smoother and more engaging than the demo. I really liked the gameplay and graphics, especially the colors. The addition of the leaderboard is a nice touch. The map is quite large, and flying over hills with the game mechanics is a lot of fun. I could play this game for hours. It also has a lot of room for improvement. Have fun!
I really appreciate that you listened to the feedback and added features like the leaderboard after the demo. That was a great move. I genuinely enjoyed playing it. It’s the kind of game I can keep coming back to just to beat my own high score. It’s especially fun to play while listening to a podcast in the background or chatting with friends on Discord. Definitely a game I’ll keep playing.
