Our take on How to Build a Magnificent Kingdom
The likely sticking point is the shift from rebuilding systems to real-time battles: party members rely on customizable AI while the player directly controls the leader. Players who want to direct every character themselves may hit that constraint as soon as combat begins.
What is How to Build a Magnificent Kingdom?
Avon is reduced to four residents and an empty treasury after the Calamity King incident.
Playing as a knight apprentice, players assist Princess Ariadne in rebuilding the kingdom and uncovering what happened to her father. They manage resources and conduct research to develop farming, trade, production, and technology. When conflict arises, battles unfold in real time from a top-down view. Players command the party leader directly and set customizable AI to direct as many as seven other characters.
The roster includes more than 20 playable characters with distinct combat roles, skills, weapons, and special abilities. Fighting with Avon’s supporters strengthens their relationships and unlocks character scenes, which can provide experience, resources, weapons, and abilities. Stages can be replayed at four difficulty settings, ranging from Normal to Lunatic.
