About Windmill Kings

Rally your troops and take back the throne or challenge your friends in player-vs-player battles!
The story:
- Explore the land you once called home. And take it back.
- Meet and recruit allies in your mission to take down the black wizard and his cohorts.
- Capture windmills to generate the gold needed to fuel your war machine.
Battles:
- Real-time, fast-paced battles will test your mettle. Do not back down. No retreat!
- Twelve unit and structure types, each with their unique uses and abilities.
- Layer and diversify the warriors under your command and plan your attacks by exploiting the strengths and weaknesses of enemy troops, but plan quickly.
- Support and upgrade your forces in battle by constructing their special building, turning simple soldiers into powerhouses on the battlefield.
Tactics:
- Cast powerful spells to help turn the tide of war in your favor or summon mighty Giants to tear your enemies asunder. But be warned: your enemies have learned the ways of ancient magic, too!
- Prefer subterfuge? Rogues and ninjas bypass the thick of the fighting and go straight after the enemy’s infrastructure.
- Learn from the computer AI by seeing its strategy play out in real-time. Improve your tactics, obtain victory, and reclaim the throne in the Final Battle!
Different game modes:
- Take back the kingdom in the classic Campaign game mode against the AI or challenge your friends in competitive one-on-one battles.
- Tailor multiplayer fights to your desires with the settings and wage battle from skirmish to all-out war.
- Three difficulty modes: Easy for a more casual experience, Normal to play how it was intended, and Hard to make your journey quite challenging indeed!
Play the way you prefer:
- You can use the mouse (click to move on map, click to buy units/build/cast spells)
- You can use the controller (full controller support)
- You can use the keyboard (WASD or arrows to move, E or Enter to buy/build/cast spells)
- Two players can play versus games on one keyboard (WASD for left player, arrow keys for right player)
- All keys are configurable
- Mind-control is still not supported, but might be in the future ;)
So, King, do you think you have what it takes to restore your kingdom, dispose of these traitors, and make your mark on destiny?

It's not good and not very well designed. The campaign for example lets you pick which level to try next but stages have very specific solutions regarding what units you should build and in what order, so it's pointless. This is because, at least at the beginning, the only way you have to generate money is to kill enemy units so if you mess up your unit order, don't have the unit needed or cast a spell at the incorrect time, you get into a death spiral from which you cannot recover and you either have to try again or pick another stage. THAT in itself has problems because the game has no restart button, you have to quit to main menu and then enter a stage all over again to repeat it so... it ends up becoming a lot of obnoxious trial and error that's not fun or satisfying to play. I understand that the game opens up later but the beginning is such a shoddy example of game design that I don't feel the urge to play more.2 found this helpful
It's great concept unfortunatly there are a couple flaws that make this game a no for me. The positive are: great graphics, nice music, funny story. Requirements are low and the game runs well 1v1 on the same keyboard and single player on the touchscreen also works (tested on surface pro) Now the bad: First is the duration. Campaign on normal takes less than an hour. I had a lot of fun working my way up in the campaign but after that you can only play replay the same thing or the Dark world which is brutally hard compare to the normal difficulty. There no replayability unless you do multiplayer. Playing against the computer becomes easy as soon as you realize that the AI is in fact the same pattern of enemy coming your way. I would say you should wait for a sale 1/2 price it will give you a couple hours of gameplay perfect for a short flight.2 found this helpful
Another great game by Bigosaur - with their typical art style and sound style. Great cartoon-like graphics with challenging gameplay. This is a 2D strategy game with kings, medieval knights, giants, archers, healers etc. Story mode is cool, as is the skirmish mode that has different scales of battle. PvP is also available. Definitely recommended!1 found this helpful
This game is pretty good. The UI could use some work- maybe using number keys to spawn units, instead of clicking on their portraits?- and a tutorial or more descriptive stats for the units would be nice. Other than that, this game makes a neat addition to its genre, and the soundtrack is amazing. I haven't tried the Dark World campaign yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Oh, and if anyone wants to play the multiplayer with me, let me know! If you're still not sure about the game, I have a short let's play of the normal difficulty campaign linked on my profile.1 found this helpful
Good game.
Fun little game. Very reminiscent of old flash games like Cartoon Wars. Graphics are simple, but the simple/cartoony aesthetic I think lends well to the kind of gameplay. Information is easily readable, and nothing is confusing. My only real "gripe" is that the audio sliders don't seem to actually work on a percentage value. At 100%, game music is deafening, and it's only really tolerable at about 15%. But that's just a nitpick and doesn't harm the game.
