It wasn't great ( though I wouldn't say it was terrible) and from the actions of past, scummy developers, I had written it off as another disappointment that would languish in the pits of abandoned Steam games.
   
   I was pleasantly surprised to see I was plainly wrong- the humble, talented folks behind Kingdoms and Castles have displayed a great interest in building and polishing their game, adding new and exciting content to a game that I firmly believe already justifies it's very fair price of $10.00. From what I've read of their announcements, I can only see the value of their game increasing and a growing, happy fan-base.
   
   The game as is contains mostly basic content that you would expect: gathering resources, building structures, converting peasants into specific laborers/soldiers, fending off attacks, etc. If you enjoy traditional medieval RTS/City-Builder games (the Stronghold series comes to mind) then you will most likely enjoy Kingdoms and Castles.
   
   They've already released free, new content with the promise of more on the way. I'm inclined to believe them and would suggest picking up this title the next time it's on sale or even right now.… Expand

   A very fun and addicting game. Perfect time waster and distraction from the real world.

   Kingdoms and Castles is a fun, cutesie, relaxing game to play where you build your own cute kingdoms, and have the option to defend it from Viking invaders and dragons randomly.
   the only major con of this game is that you can pretty much do everything it has to offer in a relatively short amount of time, which does suck a bit, hopefully updates add more stuff to play with.
   EDIT: There is a lot more to do now, every update improves the game greatly.

I appreciate the art style and it's a fun game but there is nothing new really that you wouldn't have seen in 100 similar games before. It's still getting updated almost 4 years later which is super cool and if you can pick it up at a low price point, I encourage you to do so and try it out for yourself.… Expand

   When this game has been released it was one of my biggest hope to have a non-violent, but cute graphics game to play with.
   It was incrediblyWhen this game has been released it was one of my biggest hope to have a non-violent, but cute graphics game to play with.
   It was incredibly funny to see the NPC's descriptions "Happy to see road improvement", "Has bad teeth", etc. :)))
   I loved the simple fact that your only goal is to !build! a kingdom that is resilient to invading forces and mother nature, plus you had to always consider the happiness rate of your kingdom.
   I loved to build cities of prosperity.
   The graphics are lovely, the sounds are good, the map editor is also entertaining.
   
   Then the developers started to make radical changes or so-called improvements.
   The game that has been released has been changed from so many aspects that it's like a new game now, so after 1-2 years I stopped playing.
   
   If you buy it now and don't know how the game worked at the start (initial release), you will obviously like it, but developers should simply keep in mind that after the official release, only bug fixes should be made to a base game.
   Additons could be made as add-ons or expansions like this used to be before.… Expand
