Our take on Risen Kingdom
The game combines settlement building and economic management with nighttime survival attacks. Its structure shifts between developing a medieval community and preparing for undead assaults, rather than treating construction and defense as separate activities.
What is Risen Kingdom?
Risen Kingdom is a real-time strategy game set in a medieval fantasy kingdom reclaimed from undead hordes.
Players build settlements with mills and houses that provide food and housing, gather natural resources, expand their territory, and research technologies. Markets and banks support the settlement’s economy. Defense involves training and hiring warriors, with units offering distinct skills and upgrade paths.
