One thing I can give credit to this game for is the graphics. This would allow people to make it through the game a few times as they unlock new items and allow them to complete higher difficulties for even better loot. Maybe the addition of a difficulty setting would help make the game worth replaying, and just lock the most powerful unlocks behind higher difficulty. Everything starts out alright and nice with just a few Greed attacking, but when you get to night ten and further you’ll start being massacred by hordes of Greed. The final issue I have is the difficulty being extremely too hard. This buffed their health, but they still didn’t follow me on my horse. They just stood there and looked at me with confusion as I threw coins at them. I had read on several guides that you should take knights with you on your boat, but I could never figure out how they intended for me to do that when there was no way to make them follow me to the boat.
#Kingdom new lands white horse how to
This can kill your early game, and even kill you as you struggle to make up for the lost income because you wanted to place a wall a few feet inside the forest.Īnother thing they don’t tell you is how to command knights. The merchant is an essential, and can be removed because the game didn’t specify the termination of his caravan contract. They don’t tell you that destroying the outer tree of a camp will destroy the camp, including the merchant’s camp.
They tell you what walls are and what towers are, and that’s the end of the tutorial. This is from the lack of the game explaining anything. I was part of the group that couldn’t even get past the first island before I looked up a guide. Some people might not be able to make it to the other islands, no matter how hard they try, and that kind of takes some of the wind out of the sails. Thing is, they also lock the better islands away on other islands, which makes absolute sense.
#Kingdom new lands white horse upgrade
This upgrade system has the caveat that you can replay through islands to unlock new loot that may be just as useless to you as a dog that barks to indicate the location of the enemy wave. It isn’t really helpful if what you were struggling with was the difficulty of hordes of Greed and their flying fiends. It could take you an hour to get through an island, and you could end up with a statue that helps your farmers gather more crops. This game is slow paced, but it has a mechanic for fast paced games inside of it, making for an odd combination that doesn’t work.
This stops the game from hand holding and really does allow you to abandon ship if things are going downhill faster than you can back pedal.Īn issue with the upgrade system resides in Kingdom: New Lands’ long burn.
It’s also cool that you can leave the fragment behind and not unlock anything if you need to bail. This allows for an interesting set of playthroughs as you search for each map fragment, juggling the kingdom through each day. One of the cool things this game has is the rogue-lite aspect of unlocking new items with every playthrough. But this game doesn’t have that, and the only branching upgrades are from an unlock that you might not get until your final playthrough. That would have been a nice little upgrade which would make planning your kingdom have a little bit of spice to it. There could have been a small menu that popped up when you hit a fork in a building’s path and let you pick something that would attack enemies or be further reinforced. You have coins to buy things with, but it’s the same linear path every time. That’s one of the issues with this game, how shallow it is. Hire some farmers instead so you can get tons of coins each day and voila, you have a formula that works for the whole game. Instead, make sure the catapults have a tier 4 wall in front of them and let them go wild. They can’t lead a target, and they tend to shoot the walls whenever they can. Towers are useless because your archers are impossibly inept. Upgrade walls and push for catapults as fast as you can. This makes every choice worth contemplation, but it ends up losing some contemplation once you get into a groove of design.
The mechanic of using money as your health is a really cool concept because the only way you can progress through the game is through spending your currency for upgrades and repairing the shipwreck that takes you to the next level.
