Kingdom: New Lands Review (Foxxi Fox)
What is Kingdom: New Lands ?
I played and finished the original kingdom classic a few years ago and remember having a really hard time with it and not enjoying the game at all, because it all felt like a experiment or a prototype of a game and not a fleshed out product, it did look really nice but it was just crap overall, I saw potential on it at least so this "sequel" was on sale recently and I gave it a go expecting it to maybe reach what the previous game had the potential to, however, Im disappointed to say that nothing much has change, overall new lands do add new stuff, mostly an actual goal and level design, here the objectives feel better and more defined, you go from island to island and each island ramp the difficult up, theres new additions and stuff to unlock to strengthen your king plus if you die you can restart with a new king or queen on the new island you unlocked without having to restart from the first island, the reason Im not recommending this game is that they barely changed much the way the game plays, I complained that the first game had an horrible AI and for a game that focused on managing a small kingdom with some strategy with absolute zero control in what those dumb, barely functioning npcs that serve you do gave me a hell of a frustrating time, while this one is more fair with the difficult and with the way its designed being level based, its still like I said mostly the same game as before, all the interesting ways and potential they could have expanded uppon the first game are all thrown in the trash, its the same game I forced myself to finish because I thought it would pull something good at the end or reward me with a good ending or something and it never came, with this one I finished the first island and as soon I hit the second island, I knew I was going to have that exact same, boring experience all over again so I quitted, I dont recommend the previous game neither this one, there are much better indie games out there to play, use your time with them instead and skip this kingdom series, theyre not good.
