I had little to no experience of the previous version of the game, so I (or should I say we?) needed some time to get our sea legs (pun intended). As far as the gameplay is concerned, KTC offers three standalone campaigns - the classic New Lands, as well as two new ones set in medieval Japan and in some Dead Lands. The game supports MFI controller in both modes. This time around you get to split your ruler’s duties and the tasks at hand do not seem so daunting and tedious any more. Why? Correct me, if I am wrong, but I think this is the first example of a true cooperative split-screen experience on a single mobile device. I was dying to play Kingdom Two Crowns in a co-op mode. Anyway, I reckon every fan of mobile games involving 'building, expansion and defence' should definitely give this one a try. It's basically 'ride or die' game and with that being said the option to cooperate your actions when playing in a split-screen mode might be the major selling point of KTC. What makes this game a rather tedious experience is the constant need to ride back and forth to collect coins, recruit workers and build structures. I've had only a couple of good runs as opposed to quite a number of futile campaigns, when I could not turn my settlement into a thriving one, because of a dire lack of financial resources. There is only a basic tutorial at the start of the game, and because of that to succeed as a ruler, you'll have to discover everything on your own. Undoubtedly it was created with the utmost attention to detail as it looks rather sophisticated despite its pixelated graphics, which combined with a euphonious score and superb sound effects ensure a fabulous gaming experience. This is probably the longest I've played a game to be reviewed before putting my thoughts on paper, but I still can not make up my mind if I like Kingdom Two Crowns or not and whether I am going to play it afterwards. On the surface, the game looks quite simple: graphically and the initial gameplay, but it is a beautifully created game that has a great amount of depth. This will probably take a few playthroughs before you find out exactly what you need. Think about what resources are needed, how many archers you need etc. Money has to be spent well as it is sparse.

There are a couple of different game types to play but the overall purpose of the game is the same: build up your camp and don’t die. If you’ve played previous iterations of the kingdom games, then you’ll feel at home here. A lovely game for anyone who enjoys this genre. Little touches like the progress through night and day, and your horse’s breath visible as you gallop along made me smile. The only thing that slightly disappoints is the repetitive travelling back and forth on horseback passing the same things over and over again.Īt points along the way, there are creatures who want to steal your coins and then your crown, these must be avoided because, once they have everything you own, at that point the game ends. At the start, the main objective is to collect coins so you can build your town and create barricades to protect it. The retro pixel graphics are bright, the soundtrack playing in the background fits in well and the gameplay is easy to master. The added themes give it another level of enjoyment and unlocking the mounts and upgrades to make your defences impregnable is something I look forward to on each new island There’s a real feeling of satisfaction I get after I freed an island from the greed and sailed off into the sunset Oksana Ryan It’s really a beautiful fun game that I’d recommend to anyone. Replay value, check ( you’re gonna die a lot) I love this game! I’ve played it on PC Switch and now iOS and I still love it. The game runs extremely fluid! worth buying for sure. Simply charming and brilliant, starting with the lovely retro graphics, very well made music and very good gameplay makes this game an incredible RPG and enjoyable to play. So we decided to get some of our mobile gaming fans to try it out and see if it's a good port and just strategy title in general. Kingdom: Two Crowns is a beautiful-looking, side-scrolling strategy game that has been available on pretty much everything apart from mobile, until now of course.
