Original Steam description
You are the King. Lead your companions and fight beside them.
Step into a pixel-art fantasy kingdom where your King belongs on the battlefield.
Recruit companions, improve your equipment in Mossbell, and challenge rival Kings
in real-time battles. Choose your target, close the distance, and find the opening
that turns pressure into Checkmate.
Your King. Your control.
Move, attack, cast skills, and Dodge for yourself while your companions fight
automatically. Lock onto an enemy and use a skill to approach its casting range.
Issue Royal Orders to focus your party when an opening appears.
Break their guard. Deliver Checkmate.
Pressure the opposing King's Crown Guard, punish an exposed defense, and deliver
the decisive blow. Checkmate must be earned through the fight's actual conditions.
An ordinary King defeat still wins the battle—and losing your King ends it.
Build a party worth leading.
Bring frontline protection, ranged pressure, magic, and healing together. Your
Guardian helps protect your King while your other companions support the fight.
Full-game Kingdom battles support up to six fighters per side: one King and five
companions. Each Gate entry starts one battle, decided by the Kings.
Return stronger to Mossbell.
Explore the fortified village, meet its inhabitants, recruit companions, complete
quests, and gather resources. Compare equipment, allocate earned attribute points,
learn eligible skills, and visit the Royal Forge to improve your gear before the
next challenge.
Two Kings. Two relics. One secret.
Begin as a level-five Soldier King alongside Alden, your Guardian. Challenge Ironhold in a 2v2 clash, recruit Iris, Selene, and Liora through their quests, then lead your expanded party into a 5v5 showdown with Thornveil and the terrifying form beneath his crown.
Claim two relics and discover what waits at the Corrupted Gate.
Demo scope:
Start with a focused 2v2 clash against Ironhold, then lead your expanded party into a 5v5 showdown with Thornveil.
