Kingdom: New Lands

Don't actually think this is a, "game," per se. The balance of the mechanics works on a superficial level of, "survive, build boat, escape, repeat." But, if you go beyond that loop than you'll start seeing how lazy the devs are and how poor the mechanics function under challenge. So, play it while you're waiting for something else. DON'T be fooled into thinking that the game offers any more depth than that.

So like, they teach you how to train an archer, and that’s it. After that I felt very lost. Maybe I’m just clueless but I tried for another hour after that and couldn’t figure out what to do. More direction would be nice.

The game it self seems fun. I’ve played through the first level and discovered the second level build upon the first with more upgrade options. I assume further levels would do the same BUT…… The game doesn’t save. It says it saves, and I’ve pressed “save.” But if you leave the app for more than a few minutes the game resets with a completely brand new game. No option to load. In that state, it makes it pretty unfun. I don’t think I’ll continue playing because I don’t want to play the same level

It all comes down to the horse. I don’t mind the large randomized islands but the horse just doesn’t have enough stamina. It’s a short relatively short play as well but it’s not as fun as say a roguelike. The whole game is a challenge so if you like long challenges get, if not don’t waste your money.

I love this game and totally recommend it even with the price it has. However the one problem I have with the game is I can’t reset my progress to start over. Yes you can make a new game however everything you uncovered on the map remains. I would love it if I could reset everything and start completely fresh but I can’t. Would love to give the game 5 stars but I can’t without being able to reset it for replayabilities sake
