A new game on Steam aims to connect two unequal games and features many things at once.
What kind of game is this? Kingsgrave is a game that unites Zelda and Stardew Valley in a dark world. The game has elements of a rogue-like, an RPG, puzzles like in Zelda, resource management and village building like in Stardew Valley, all set in an incredibly dark world plagued by the plague.
Here you can watch the trailer of Kingsgrave.
Kingsgrave combines many elements
Can Kingsgrave fit so much into one game? Yes, Kingsgrave combines many aspects from other games into one, and it seems to work. On Steam, the game has a 70% positive rating from over 90 votes. The negative reviews suggest that the game is too short or that the controls and performance are not yet good enough.
How does the game play? As a king who died 50 years ago, you awaken to find your kingdom in ruins. The plague has killed almost everyone, with only a few surviving. As the ruler of the land, you want to restore it to its former glory.
For this, you need resources which you obtain by defeating enemies and looting items. You also need survivors of the plague as followers to help rebuild your realm. With new buildings, you can clear new debris and unlock new areas.
You also level up, gain new abilities, and enhance your character to take on even stronger enemies and bosses.
What is the goal? At the end of the game, you should have rebuilt your kingdom and the monsters should have been driven away. For spoiler reasons, we don’t want to go into the story in detail here.
Another game also focuses on a dark atmosphere, but here an old game has been reinvented instead of combining two hits: Dark game reinvents Russian Roulette, lands a hit on Steam
