KINGDOMS

abandoned. SIGH.

NOOOOO. Save the few dollars. This game had potential and development was going good but it's been 4 years and the jank just isn't worth the hassle.

Unfinished and abandoned, boring, much better games in the style

I have played this in the past, as well as my return this time around. This is a very well done NPC management and building/ resource and social engagement experience. Level your skills, build relationships with new settlers and perhaps gain some added skills from these connections.
You can control all the building aspects or allow them to build on their own.
Everything from resourcing to resale, city defense and more.
Start at 0 and become a Hero, or some other towns nightmare.

Abandoned and unfinished! Avoid!

Looks like it's Abandoned. RIP

This started off as an awesome concept of a game which I had a lot of hope for until it was abandoned by the dev. Regardless of the reason the dev had to stop working on this project, I would not recommend this game as it hasn't been updated in over 3 years at the time of this review.

dead game

Could have been a great game, but unfortunately is abandoned ...

Highly possible abandoned game. Would recommend however, its been 3 years since last update

Abandoned.

Great game, Unfortunately abandoned.

Dead game. Do not buy.

I originally supported this game because it looked promising, and the developer was active—even if he couldn't work on it much. I'm not sure if the comments in 2024 are genuine or from bots, but my curiosity led me back, hence this review.

Will I ever support him again? No.
Will I be happy to return if the game eventually releases? Yes.
I don't consider this a total loss—just a disappointment.

For context, I backed this during the old Steam Greenlight initiative to support unknown developers.

Let's see if the creator clear out his name by finishing this project. Because this is...a project.

Developers have not updated this game since 2021, it's buggy and not well polished.

She gone boi!

Good game concept, definitely worth playing, hasn't been updated for a while but looks like there is some recent activity. There are many future possibilities if the developer decides to put the work in. Worth it at the current price.

abandonware. don't buy.

I love the game it self but it should get a update , creator of the game if u need help i think here is a lot of game creators that can help you if you are willing to ask for it, keep up the good work and please make a update soon on it cause you are losing people that wants to buy it if u dont give updates from time to time

Abandoned game. RIP. Do not purchase.

This game could be so insanely addicting. It's already a lot of fun, but it's missing so much that would make it great. I do recommend it for what it has now, but you have to understand that what you see is what you get and there may never be another update again.

Unfortunately the Developer posted the last update in september 2021 with no communication on whether or not they're going to keep working on the game, but this concept is an absolute DREAM. A procedural world where NPCs build and maintain settlements, you can build your own and NPCs can join your settlement and construct their own houses and businesses, but outside of that, there's unfortunately not much to it in it's current state.

The npcs world building is amazing but unfortunately the game abandoned but it's totally playable.
It's cheap but still, get it when there's discount.

no update for years last update in 2021

Oreol, please come back

Well they took the money and walk away. Dont buy this. Borken game, no content. They abandoned it. Lame.

I liked the part that the dev finished, but it's been abandoned as a consequence of war in Ukraine.

Do not buy this until the dev shows signs of life.

idc about the other reviews i really like this game its fun to play while doing other stuff and the map is big and the game takes awhile to progress through

This game is dead, the dev has been absent for over 2 years now, the game will never be completed, and a lot is missing. Yes, there is some cool AI features, but you can find those features developing in newer games coming out now. Do not buy this game. Let it die.

Sadly it is dead.

Abandoned

Abandoned Game

Game is dead.
No updates in years.
Do not buy.

Finish your game.

Pure bugs, couldn't get the game to work properly for me once despite trying many times as it seems like a game i'd really enjoy. Every character says the same things and the trees are all in the sky :'). Waited for a long time for fixes but they never came, seems abandoned now.

Dead Game

Awesome concept, i wish the devs wouldve stuck with it! Currently developing my own game of a similar concept and would love to get to this point, cept finish it lol. Love the concept tho

Had promise, looks ot be abandoned.

Do not be swayed by these nerds complaining the game is abandoned. What is here is good. If you think the concept looks interesting and think you'd enjoy it, you most likely will. Let's not forget the game is only $10 and a lot of the negative reviews have 20-50+ hours (that many hours on a $10 game ain't bad imo). Leaving negative reviews SOLELY because the dev is rumored to have lost his life after being drafted into the Ukraine military.
The concept is insanely ambitious and works exactly as you'd expect. A true sandbox rpg experience.

Hope for the future
You could also look on the community page for Kingdoms and find a solo developer working on his own game heavily inspired by Kingdoms. They provide a link to their discord in the comments where they are taking feedback from players and CONSTANTLY showing progress. Do not fret, this ambitious concept of a game is not dead, although the currently unnamed project is still very early in development, so I highly recommend checking this one out while you wait.

Abandoned do not buy. Developer seems to do this a lot. Grabs your money then moves on to next money grab project and leaves gamers with unfinished, unplayable junk.
