Nothing lasts... until now
In the award-winning Kingdom series, players took on the role of a monarch struggling to build their kingdom up from nothing. Hundreds of thousands of players across the world explored, recruited loyal subjects, and defended nightly against the persistent threat of the Greed – but they did so in isolation, and as with all things in Kingdom, nothing lasts… until now.
Kingdom Two Crowns builds upon the challenging micro strategy experience with an evolution of the celebrated franchise. Introducing the brand-new campaign mode, monarchs must now work to build a kingdom that stands over time until finding a way to defeat the Greed for good. Recruit new unit types and develop advanced technologies to bolster your defenses. Explore fresh environments to discover new mounts and secrets hidden in the deep. Revisit and revitalize your kingdom in its entirety as you move onward through the campaign.
New features:
- Cooperative split-screen gameplay
- Campaign mode - Moving away from its roguelike roots, this time around there will be a proper campaign mode. Losing no longer means game over. The ruler will start a new game on the previous island (or the first in the case of Island 1), with the previous Kingdom somewhat in ruins and decay.
- Traditional game modes still available separate from the main campaign
- Seasonal cycle - no more endless Winter that basically means game over. Seasons will cycle and repeat.
- Biome system: The game will continue to receive updates post-release and these will include new and exotic biomes, each with unique styles and features
- New Age - In addition to the Wood and Stone Ages, the game will now include an Iron Age.
- New upgrade tiers for buildings
- New units - Units such as the Spearman and Ninja have been confirmed, the former being able to attack through walls and the latter waiting in bushes to ambush enemies.
- Ruler customization - you can now customise your ruler with purely cosmetic skins
- New mounts - new mounts like a Salamander, Gryphon, etc
- New hermits - new hermits that can provide you with some benefits for gold
