I like being thrown for a loop. I like challenges and the opportunity to overcome them. I like testing my limits with the inevitable uncertainties.
I do not like airborne phantoms who resemble Satan's battered pussy swooping from the sky and snatching (pun intended) my villagers from my fiefdom.
Kingdom is a hell of a game. It's fair and tough and dickish and beautiful and frustrating and basically everything I like in a story. Yet it's a simple, very simple, game. Left. Right. Make it rain. That's it! And I love that.
The simple controls allow you to get lost in the beauty of the graphics and the soundtrack, which then let's you forget that you have to defend your people each and every night against a pick your flavor of demons. Imps? Not really sure what they are. The beauty of this game is that it's aesthetics, in a way, work against you! That's incredible! I don't remember another game like that!
I have no idea if this is intentional, nor do I care. I care a little. Wouldn't that be cool if that were the case? That Raw Fury intentionally made the game pretty for the specific purpose of you getting lost and screwing up your managerial tactics? Gold! Solid gold!
Episode 3 is posted above. Check it out and then go and thank Raw Fury for putting their game out there.
Have the best day you've ever had!
