And that, really, is what Kingdom is all about: “Again, a king will try to last…” But already, these ghostly opening words as you initiate a new game suggest that you will not last, that like hundreds, perhaps thousands, before you, failure is the only inevitable result. Evanescent. Fleeting. But beautiful.
Kingdom: New Lands is the same survival simulation game you'll find on Steam, but it feels even more at home on the Nintendo Switch.

I have immensely enjoyed my time with Kingdom: New Lands. The set up of randomly generated island variations makes every playthrough both exciting and scary, and the feeling of branching out and fortifying your base is very satisfying.

With a great challenge, subtle and organic strategy and a gorgeous presentation, Kingdom: New Lands brings an excellent title to the Switch, one you won't want to miss.
Kingdom: New Lands is a 2D, pixel-art strategy game where you play as a newly christened king or queen in unexplored lands. The game begins by dropping you, your empty purse, and your trusty steed onto the first island where you’ll build your kingdom. The goal is to survive long enough to escape to other, far off isles. By recruiting NPCs to be your loyal subjects, they will help grow your budding kingdom and defend it from mysterious monsters set on stealing your crown.
