I didn't know what to expect when getting this game. Thought it looked like a simple little city builder with MP, figured I would give it a go. I was honestly blown away. It is a breath of fresh air. City builders tend to get old fast, with all maps feeling very much the same and with no real goal to work towards. This feels fresh and new, with endless maps to explore with generated maps, new factions to use which can be placed anywhere on the map, and a economy that will punish you if you make the wrong choice or take your eye off of your resources and stockpiles. With the economy existing in physically, (resources need to move from one location to another, and if it doesn't some buildings don't function) and not just in spreadsheets you get need to be efficient in how you manage your nation/city for maximum results as opposed to spreadsheet games where you just have massive stockpiles on paper and everything works as long as you keep the number above 0. The card system took a while to get used to but can be used to great effect in this game, and this goes for the whole game, not just the start. Resources need to be managed the whole game, not just the start. My first city made it to 1000 population only for me to notice way too late I was running out of food, and I watched as my population plummeted to 600 in no time due to starvation. My second city got to 1700 population and then I noticed that I was running out of medicinal plants causing people to die from sickness, and had no fertile land to make more so I had to make a colony to ship medicinal plants to my main city, which in turn made it so my colony had no medicinal plants so I had to make my main city made medicine out of medicinal plants and supply my colony with medicine. This was late game near me getting the victory conditions, so I mean it when I say, you have to keep an eye on everything as your city grows because having enough resources at 1000 may not be the case at 1200 and so on and so forth. A very fun game, a reasonable price, a great indie developer, highly recommend this one.

With 624 hours in the game so far, I feel that I can accurately review the game. -Great community. -God tier soundtrack -Umm.... Its addictive? Would that be a positive though? Addictions are bad, but this game... Is good. That about sums up my opinions with 624 hours of game play. If I had another 624 hours I could probably write 2 or 3 more lines. Maybe ill edit this at 1200 hours when I get there ;-)

Good looking, but gets pretty boring after a while. Reminds me of myself actually.

The food, Mason, what do they eat? Kingdoms Reborn is a quasi-4X, Civilization-styled, real time game focusing on your ability to manage the beginnings of a new civilization in quote unquote post apocalyptic world. These civilizations are inspired directly after real ones on Earth, such as Japan's Shogunate or the Nordic Norsemen. There's no tangible narrative, only a loose framework and minor flavoring as Kingdoms Reborn focuses entirely on its gameplay. Said gameplay focuses on the management of the population, their infrastructure, and the means by which they can produce things to survive and thrive. Compared to many other games in this genre, I found Kingdoms Reborn to favor simplicity over complexity. Rather than drilling into a spreadsheet, you have a handful of concerns to juggle, solve, and then keep solving as your population continues to expand. I do like this approach, though I feel it can be undermined by how lopsided it can be. Luxuries, for example, are a critical good needed to improve your population's housing, which increases their wealth and science output. There are three tiers to luxuries, and you must make more of different types of luxuries in each tier to improve housing further and further. However, not all luxuries are equal. Tulips and cannabis are Tier 1 luxuries and very easy to produce as they're simply grown in a field then harvested. Furniture is also a Tier 1 luxury, but it requires the harvesting of wood, then processing of said wood into furniture. Other luxuries may be slightly more complex with an additional processing step before the luxury itself is created. Since the consumption rate of the luxuries are apparently the same per-tier, this means ones like Tulips become overbearingly powerful because of the cost/effort ratio in obtaining them. Concerns like this are prevalent throughout Kingdoms Reborn, as there are a lot of systems that are functional and make for gameplay, but have obvious pitfalls or weird balance considerations that makes distinctly 'good or bad' choices. This is compounded by the game's difficulty model, where consumption rate of food and goods are escalated in multiples--completely changing economic importance and relevancy at higher and higher difficulty levels. Vestigial systems, such as spying or diplomacy, exist in the barest proof-of-concept manner. The AI is not well-equipped to compete with the player, and seems to function on an arbitrary resource clock in order to maintain parity. Competition with other players would come down to raiding provinces, directly conquering them, or trading resources that one has the other needs. While it can be good to have as an option, this area is obviously massively undeveloped. Those expecting a competitive challenge may be disappointed compared to purely surviving and growing your civilization. The artstyle is clean and comfortable to look at, with some interesting choices for stylization that make it approachable. The music is unintrusive and pleasant for long hours of play, though as a result can be uninspiring and easily forgotten about; not a terrible thing in itself, though. Conclusion A reasonable stand out in a genre that easily trips over its own feet, Kingdoms Reborn can deliver a fun and streamlined civilization building challenge. It has the promise of greatness with some of its ambitions, but struggles to live up to them. As it stands, while there are some systems I find troubling, such as the card deck being hilariously superfluous, they do not actively detract from the core experience. I think with some trimming, refocusing on core values, and building upon its strengths, it will grow into a solid contender one day.
