Shogun: Journey to lands inspired by the architecture and culture of feudal Japan.Building your Kingdom has never been spookier! Ride the gigantic beetle steed to lay out traps, the eerie undead mount that summons barriers impeding the progress of the Greed, and from Bloodstained the mythic demon horse “Gamigin” with its powerful charge attack. Play as unique monarchs, including the Shardbinder Miriam, with powerful traits from the gothic horror action-RPG Bloodstained. Dead Lands: Enter the dark lands of Kingdom.

In addition to the traditional medieval setting, Kingdom Two Crowns also includes: Explore the environments to discover new mounts and secrets hidden in the deep.īut you don’t have to rule alone! Introducing a cooperative play experience that is totally unique to Kingdom: Two Crowns, monarchs can now choose between a classic solo experience or seek the assistance of a friend, working together locally dropping in or out at will. In the brand-new campaign mode, monarchs must now work to build a kingdom that stands over time until finding a way to defeat the Greed for good. Play the role of a monarch atop their steed and recruit loyal subjects, build your kingdom and protect it from the greedy creatures looking to steal your coins and crown. Returning players almost certainly have a biome in each of the three available save slots, so this is a bit of a puzzling misstep that will hopefully be alleviated soon.Kingdom Two Crowns is a side-scrolling micro strategy game with a minimalist feel wrapped in a beautiful, modern pixel art aesthetic. The only really problematic thing here is that it doesn’t add a fourth save slot, despite being the fourth biome. The low-ish price helps make this more tempting, but I can see some taking issue with it. If you’re a Kingdom Two Crowns player that wants a bit of a change, Norse Lands is worth it. There are also seven new mounts, including an eight-legged horse and a cart pulled by giant cats. To help with this, you can make Berserkers if you’d like to have some bloodlust on your side. Even new recruits that haven’t been given tools yet have weapons, giving them a bit of combat efficiency which can help out.įinally, there’s a new type of Greed called the Crusher, which has a tough shell that you’ll need to break through. As the townsfolk are Norsemen, they’ll also now pitch in to help fight the greed. It’s quite handy for last-ditch efforts to prop up failing walls. Once you do so, you can pay a single coin to a giant head directly next to the shield tent, to have your shieldbearers form a wall to stand up against Greed attacks. When filling out your camp, you’ll be able to outfit your subjects with shields. Your headquarters starts as a flimsy tent and becomes a longhouse in short order. Instead of the walls from the base campaign, sharp pieces of wood are left to fend off attackers. Shortly after beginning a Norse Lands campaign, I noticed the more rustic, jagged characteristics of the architecture. As such, this DLC is specifically meant for fans that want to keep playing a game they love with a slightly different coat of paint. In this case, it’s represented in the architecture, mounts, and overall aesthetic. In case it isn’t already painfully obvious, Norse Lands is inspired by the Norsemen and their myths. But, the question stands: is Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands worth it? At the very least, the price helps with that. It costs $6.99 USD and is mostly comparable to the previous two, so it’s more of a “support the devs” DLC.

However, don’t go thinking this is some major, transformative DLC. Now, fans have a whole new biome to dig into, as Norse Lands joins the rest of the campaigns.
