About Vertical Kingdom
Vertical Kingdom is set in a world devastated by a war that lasted for an entire generation. The once great Empire is in shambles and it's up to the Great Architect to rebuild toward its former glory brick by brick. Travel the land, embark on randomized, roguelite-style expeditions, and build new cities with a fresh card-based building system combined with an intricate resource economy.
Rebuild an Empire, not through force of arms or devious politics, but brick and mortar!
Raise towering cities using a card-based system. Pick five decks each turn, then play the cards to build upwards. Manage resources like food, water, bricks, wood, stone, and metal, all needed to ensure the city has room to grow and play new cards.
As the Great Architect, it's your job to rebuild the Empire, one building and one region at a time. Undertake great expeditions to raise new cities in the Emperor's name and deal with the challenges of each region: Treacherous terrain, resource shortages, and ever-limited building space.
Take ownership of every decision and every card played as all buildings are permanent, no redos. Plan around and synergize with imperial citizen’s homes and workshops. Produce more taxes, resources, and maintain loyalty to the Empire - and just maybe the locals will help you with the great evil that lurks among the ruins...

For the love of God make a version of this game without the Roguelite elements. All they do is hobble the fun of what could be a nice 2D city builder; they're even annoying in sandbox mode.3 found this helpful
"Really boring, unfun gameplay loop." 3/10.3 found this helpful
Looked good at first and should be fun on paper, but in practice it's just not that great. I probably have 50-100 card games in my library but this one really didn't connect.1 found this helpful
This game deserves more attention, perhaps your attention. The ideas are fun, the interface simple, and the satisfaction of building consistent. It's probably not a game you'll sink 100+ hours into; but that's just fine. It's cool to see a small team putting fresh ideas out there.1 found this helpful
Hey, this is a pretty cool game! I really wish you could at least look at your "deck" from the get go, but at least you can unlock the ability to ban cards after a little while, so this game has the honor of being an actual deck builder! It's also pretty fun to plan out your next few turn's general category of cards to draw, but man, is it frustrating when you're pulling 4 windmills and all you need is a well. Be careful what perks you pick...1 found this helpful
Sweet little City-Builder. It focuses on resource management and handling of limited space in little rougelite compaigns. Would recommend to get on sale.1 found this helpful
