Tears of the Kingdom has done something that few games have done before, if ever. If you want to build a functioning mech with realistic physics to explore a fantasy world, there’s no film that can replicate what Tears of the Kingdom does. Besides, if you want to watch a movie, you can go to Netflix or pull out a DVD. PlayStation games already look incredibly realistic, and any further improvements have diminishing returns on your current experience. And, if you’re into Sony’s first party games, how much better are they going to get? The writing may develop and the stories may get better, but seeing a couple more wrinkles on your character’s face will not improve the story or the game. So long as Sony continues to focus on making its games look as much like movies as possible, it will fall down in other areas. Most recently Citizen Sleeper, crowned TheGamer’s Game of the Year ahead of the likes of Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West last year, told impactful stories through an incredible combination of stellar prose, a great soundtrack, and illustrated characters. There are countless indie games that have stuck with me for far longer than their triple-A counterparts. At the same time, you can also manage everything on the world map.An even better example of this is indie games. Construct buildings and walls, and position your troops. Manage Towns Up-closeYou have the freedom to manage everything up-close and personal by entering towns in RTS mode. Build an EmpireBuild your cities and hamlets, engage in trade, economy and diplomacy, and in this time of great conflict in Europe – partake in almost non-stop warfare – from epic sieges to naval combat and bloody field battles. A greatly expanded world map and new plague mechanics are just the beginning, with hundreds of new lords to play as and many new nations and cities to conquer and control. Only some of the art and level assets remain (for now). As we enter Early Access, however, almost everything has been redone from the ground up, and gameplay has completely changed. Millions of people across Europe will get infected and die, and very soon it's the human resources and not silver coins that will become the most sparse resource.įrom the makers of Medieval Kingdom WarsKingdom Wars 4 builds upon the success of Medieval Kingdom Wars and takes things further. Utilize primitive medieval medicine, quarantine your cities, cut trade with distant lands, whatever it takes to stem the tide of death. Battle the PlagueThe black death is here, and as it sweeps through your empire your focus will quickly shift from conquering your rivals to surviving the pandemic. Gameplay is ever evolving from lordship or kingdom management, to fighting a pandemic. Redefining the GenreKingdom Wars 4 is the first historical strategy game to feature a full scale pandemic, as well as the optional undead mode (free DLC coming this winter), with millions of infected and undead potentially roaming the world map. There are dozens of Kingdoms for you to choose from and over 300 Lords and Kings whose role you can play. You can start the game as a minor noble with a small demesne or as a King ruling a great nation. Enormous World MapThe entirety of greater Europe and beyond is your playground – from the sultanates of North Africa to Byzantium, the Russian states and the Golden Horde, and all the Kingdoms of the Western and Central Europe. When the battle is won, loot corpses or take apart towns to replenish your much needed resources. Bloody sieges, pitched field battles, and naval warfare unfolds with brutal historical realism and survival elements. History has shown the critical importance of sound leadership in times of great crisis, even as we face these dangers now.īrutal Epic BattlesBattles are truly epic - with several thousands units on all sides of battle. Act swiftly, using diplomacy or military might, but do not hesitate or the consequences will be dire. You bear the burden of leadership, and must decide how to keep your people safe. Be a minor noble in Ottomans court, an earl in Ireland, or Emperor of Byzantium, and rewrite history by fighting to preserve your empire, and prevent the spread of the Black Death across Europe. You take on a role of one of 200 Minor Lords or Kings from the time period. It's 1347, the time of the Hundred Years' War.
