Kingdom Two Crowns is a pixel art gem
Let's be honest, most strategy games try to overwhelm you with options – endless menus, tech trees, the works! Kingdom Two Crowns throws all that out the window. In this iOS game, you're a king or queen, and your main job is tossing coins.
It sounds crazy, but trust us, it works. Hire a builder? Coin. Need an archer? Coin. From these tiny actions, your whole kingdom starts buzzing with activity.
A race against the night
But here's the twist: those coins are also your lifeblood. Every night, creepy little critters called the Greed attack, trying to swipe your cash and even your crown. Days are for building and growing, nights are for desperate defense. This back-and-forth creates an awesome sense of tension that you don't find in those chill city-builder games.
Two crowns are better than one
Kingdom Two Crowns truly blossoms in its co-op mode. Sharing a kingdom with another player adds a whole new layer of strategy and, let's be honest, delightful chaos.
Suddenly, you're not just making decisions; you're having lively discussions (or maybe friendly arguments) about where to build walls, which resources to prioritize, and whether it's time to take a risky leap into a new area.
This back-and-forth adds a delightful social layer to the core gameplay, making victories even sweeter and defeats more engaging, as you strategize together to rebuild and reclaim your kingdom.
Not without its quirks
Don't get me wrong, there are some annoyances. Like in the older Kingdom game, your little people can be kind of... Let’s say not so smart sometimes.
Also, while there are different settings to explore, after a while, it can feel like you're doing the same things over again.
A pixel art gem
Kingdom Two Crowns is a gem. Its pixel art looks gorgeous, and underneath, there's way more depth than you might think.
If you love strategy games but crave something a little different, a little more elegant, then grab a friend and dive into this kingdom-building adventure.
