Kingdom Two Crowns

9/10

Kingdom Two Crowns is an ideal sequel, and the perfect console strategy game. There's nothing here that anyone can't pick up and understand, and yet the rabbit hole goes deep and the mystery slowly unfolds as you progress into the game's many lands. It's a great game for the solo player, and even better with a friend. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up and love it as I have.

If you are a fan of strategy games (or like thinking strategically but don’t like messing around with menus all day) I would heartily recommend Kingdom Two Crowns - especially if you have a partner to rule with. Again, finding someone to experience this with and talk about will greatly help your overall experience (feel free to email me at [email protected] if you’re stuck or have any questions, I’ll be glad to share any knowledge that I have!).

Kingdom Two Crowns feels more like an extensive update than a new entry to the series, but the base game is still so immensely enjoyable that it doesn’t really matter.

While I love a game where you have to learn from your mistakes and are constantly discovering new things, the lack of explanation in Kingdom Two Crowns all but mandates external assistance for those not already acclimated to the series. This is compensated for by the game’s pleasant atmosphere. It may not be for everyone, but if you’re thinking you might like it, you’re probably right, so long as you don’t mind the learning curve. Even with its slow pace, its charming presentation and looming challenge will pull you back for more.

As a fan of strategy and simulation games, I have a soft spot for titles that blend challenge, exploration, and meticulous decision-making. Kingdom Two Crowns, the second instalment in the Kingdom series by Noio, is one such game that caught my eye. Initially released in 2018, Kingdom Two Crowns is…

Strategy games can be rather intimidating. Generally speaking, they're difficult by design, forcing you to think several steps ahead, and make decisions more carefully than you would in other genres. Occasionally you'll come across a strategy title that's a little easier to get into, and the Kingdom games are certainly in that ballpark. In fact, Kingdom Two Crowns might be the most accessible so far, but that's not to say it's a total breeze.
