Kingdom: New Lands

Kingdom

Kingdom: Classic and Kingdom: New Lands are simple sidescroller RTS games. 

Overview

Kingdom is a cross between real time strategy and a tower defense. The controls are very simple and it has cute pixel art. The sounds are fine, and there is something soothing about the galloping noise the horse makes. The story is weak.

Who Would Enjoy It

Don't get this because you like tower defense or RTS. It is very light. Get it because you want an easy cute game to kill a few hours with. For me, this was not worth the time spent but your mileage may vary.

Classic or New Lands?

New Lands is like an expansion. Mostly it adds replayability to a game that doesn't grip me much in the first place. It does add a very simple but welcome tutorial, and I didn't experience any of the bugs that were bothersome in Classic. However, Classic has a satisfying ending where New Lands presents you with a series of more difficult challenges. 

If you only want to play it once for a few hours, play Classic. If you think you will want to do series of challenges, start with New Lands. If you do start with Classic, find a guide to give you the basic controls.
