Kingdom Isles is a strategic city builder with rougelike elements. Produce and trade resources, construct buildings, and defend your kingdom against increasingly tougher Viking raids! Each run presents its own unique challenges with a new island to populate, procedural character selection, story events, and unexpected engine building.

Claim the Land

Grow your Kingdom from a small settlement into a large empire! Harvest the land for resources, establish supply chains, and craft over 20 distinct buildings while carefully balancing economy, happiness, and defense.

• Place buildings in strategic locations for optimal output, area buffs, and to expand the buildable area

• Limited space forces you to plan out an efficient layout with room for bustling towns, industrial hubs, farmlands, and fortifications

• Ensure your people are satisfied by building housing with access to recreation and away from noisy industries

Trade with Allies

A merchant vessel has reached your port! It carries settlers looking for a new home, and offers various goods for you to engage with - If the price is right.

• Sell your surplus resources and buy exotic materials that cannot be produced in your Kingdom

• Unlock new trade partners and improve trade relationships to fine-tune deals and offerings

• Trade offers change daily, so make sure to compare offers and get what you need before the merchants disembark

Defend the Nation

Your Kingdom is at war with ruthless Vikings! Defend your people against increasingly tougher invasions with an array of defensive structures that synergize in interesting ways.

• Upgrade individual towers to unlock new capabilities and strengthen defenses in specific areas

• Dominate the battlefield with lethal crossfire setups, traps, and impenetrable fortifications

• Vikings destroy your land! Manage a growing Kingdom on decreasing space, where the land itself becomes a vital resource

Pick your Character

Each run begins with the careful selection of a leader. These characters are procedurally generated from a pool of 50+ abilities with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. No matter who you choose to put on the throne, there will be tradeoffs and interesting synergies to consider.

• Thousands of ability combinations make each run special

• Abilities define optimal strategies, possibilities, and limitations

• Leaders that win games are saved - Build a strong roster and keep your favourites as you take on tougher challenges

Stay in Power

Your claim to the throne is not guaranteed. A peasant army may overthrow you if their needs aren't met, the nobility may conspire against you, or perhaps an ancient curse will claim your life. Ruling a kingdom involves difficult choices and tough priorities that may not always be appreciated. Choose wisely.
