Brought to you by Camlann Games and developed by Uncle Grouch Gaming, this highly anticipated title is set to hit Early Access on Steam and GOG in late 2024 or early 2025.
Dungeons & Kingdoms isn't just another medieval management sim or ARPG; it’s a hybrid that seamlessly blends the best of both genres. Imagine the strategic depth of building and managing a kingdom combined with the thrilling, hands-on combat of dungeon crawling. Here’s what sets Dungeons & Kingdoms apart from the competition:
Lincoln McCulloch, the solo developer behind Uncle Grouch Gaming, has poured over five years of dedication into creating Dungeons & Kingdoms. As a long-time gamer and a multi-talented artist, Lincoln’s vision was to merge his love for medieval sims and fantasy dungeon crawlers into one cohesive experience. His passion and commitment are evident in every aspect of the game, promising an experience crafted with heart and soul.
“I’m personally incredibly excited for this game,” says Camlann Games CEO Slava Heretz. “I’m a huge fan of medieval town builders and medieval life sims. A huge fan of ‘soulslikes’ and anything to do with fantasy dungeon crawling. Selfishly, I can't wait to get my hands on the game. Development is coming along well and we’re incredibly excited to be able to showcase this unique title to players very soon.”
In Dungeons & Kingdoms, you’ll begin your journey as the leader of a small group of refugees seeking a new home. From foraging and farming to crafting tools and building shelters, survival is your first challenge. You’ll need to brave realistic day and night cycles and seasonal changes as you gather resources and expand your knowledge and skills.
Utilize a modular building system to create and upgrade unique structures. With the ability to design from scratch or use editable blueprints, the game offers immense creative freedom. Share your designs on the Steam Workshop and explore the community’s creations to inspire your kingdom.
Transform the landscape to suit your needs. Whether it’s flattening land for agriculture, constructing elevated platforms, or digging moats, the terrain manipulation tools provide endless possibilities for customizing your kingdom.
Hunting wild beasts and defending against outlaws and raiders are essential for your village’s survival. Engage in third-person ARPG-style combat to protect your people and expand your territory.
Exploring ancient ruins and temples is not for the faint-hearted. Each dungeon presents a new challenge, with fierce monsters guarding valuable resources and technology upgrades. Your success in these treacherous depths will determine the strength and prosperity of your kingdom.
Dungeons & Kingdoms is shaping up to be a game that offers something for every type of gamer. Whether you’re a fan of strategic management, creative building, or intense combat, this game promises a rich and immersive experience.
