Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly focused RPG rather than a broad colony-management game with many interconnected systems

Our take on Outland Kingdoms
Rather than treating the settlement as a backdrop for a small party, the game makes population management, personal relationships, and social choices central systems. Its fantasy setting also allows a colony to become a trading town, slaver camp, or undead enclave instead of following a single civic model.
What is Outland Kingdoms?
Outland Kingdoms combines colony management, role-playing, and strategy in a fantasy setting.
Players establish a settlement, cultivate crops, raise creatures, craft equipment, and expand from a small shelter into towns, cities, and castles. Residents have individual needs, skills, personalities, friendships, rivalries, and romances. Seasonal weather affects play, while factions, enemies, expeditions, ruins, quests, and scouting missions extend activity beyond the settlement. Combat uses tactical interactions between weapons, armor, fire, and other hazards. Characters develop skills through use, and players can pursue peaceful trade, enslavement, or forbidden necromancy, including the creation of undead subjects. Five races, mana-powered construction, legendary items, and a prestige system add further progression.
