Jan. 2025

Cool art style. I enjoyed the old-school FPS combat. The story and dialogue are limited but I appreciated what was there.

Aug. 2024

KINGDOM of the DEAD is a pretty average shooter with an excellent atmosphere. The gunplay and level design are pretty average. The game is really straight forward and can be completed it a few sittings (I managed to 100% it in about 5 hours). The music is zany and the color really complements the theme. I recommend it, even if you only play it a few times to finish.

July 2024

So, my playtime represents a full playthrough of the game. And that's because the presentation of Kingdom Of The Dead is wildly different from the mechanics of Kingdom Of The Dead. It looks like an atmospheric Betrayer-style fps where the pacing is slow and deliberate and you're meant to drink in the vibes. The art assets, music, and individual enemy encounters are all built around this sort of approach, and if you play this way you will have a really bad time. The correct way to play Kingdom is to skip all fights, speedrun, only shoot when you have to, and fly through the levels at maximum speed. The actual mechanics of the game are built around you doing this. Kingdom is a survival sprinter, and it fails at telling you this. To be fair, even when you're playing correctly, there's a *lot* of jank. You get stuck on enemies and the environment really easily. There's a persistent bug that can happen in any cutscene where you start autofiring all of your weapons and can never stop. Bosses nearly all have instakills, and these come out fast and have hitboxes the size of the moon. Also the last two boss fights are some of the most unengaging non-encounters I've seen in an fps. However, Kingdom gets pretty close to a good game at points, and I hope we'll get more from the developer. The art and overall style of Kingdom are excellent, and it just needs to make up its mind a little more clearly about how you're incentivized to play to be a genuinely good, easy to recommend experience.

This game was definitely a fun experience and I'd recommend it. Core game play is a soft-narrative FPS, where you play as an agent whose trying to stop a war with the undead. You chose your path from an office hub, where you can practice combat or select the story missions from dossiers Ala Goldeneye. Great art style, cool level design and themes. Story isn't anything deep but is as entertaining as it needs to be. Soundtrack is pretty decent too - although one or two songs don't quite fit what I'd consider to be the vibe. Guns all handle well and feel solid. Bosses are awesome to behold, and at times the art style really shines. I have an enormous amount of respect for a team that makes something this stylistic and sticks to it, and I'd like to see some more content for this if I'm being honest. Game is not without its flaws, however. Some levels have dead zones where I had to restart. I had serious difficulty remapping keys and had to play with the default binds. Sometimes the stat tracking at the end of levels was off, saying I'd died when I hadn't - or in one instance an objective failed even though I completed it. While the game offers several difficulty levels, I was able to complete them on the hardest without much of a challenge, and I feel that the difficulty system in general could use a revision - for example turn off hostage icons at harder difficulties. This feels like a polished late stage project, but with a little bit of refinement and I daresay another ~5 levels from a DLC / patch it would absolutely be worth the asking price point. My suggestion is get it on sale. 5$ is a steal - but don't hesitate to support the devs here as they clearly care about it. Ii your interested on the visuals alone it's worth the play. I 100%'d this without any guide in about 10 hours time.

I completed the whole game while drunk so I don't remember a single thing from it. Probably is good
