Kingdom shows how complex a 3-button game can be

Build a kingdom, gather followers, survive the ever-growing monster assault. Be a king or queen using no more than 3 keys!

Kingdom: Classic

Today, my kingdom has fallen. I am on the path of rebuilding, but this is no easy feat. My only option is to let the money do the talking. Seriously! Just look at the image below to better understand all the things we are allowed to do as a player.

Don't get me wrong though, the game is hard. Deciding which direction you want to expand, when to explore, what tools to buy. Considering we have to survive for 36 days, I haven't been able to progress through even half of the game yet! Getting to day 17 is my record so far.

With every attempt, a better strategy. How early and how much should I spend on walls, how soon I'm going to upgrade my home base! It also becomes easier to remember frequently visiting nearby villages to get new loyal subjects.

However, my doom will surely be met a few more times until rule supreme is established. When that time comes, my gold purse will once again be empty. I shall walk towards the portal of darkness and lose my crown when a monster strikes me again, taking it with him.

This GAME OVER screen might not have seen me for the last time, but this won't be the last screen I will see when I am done with the game. Don't we all always feel that way!
