Our take on RPG Tycoon
The broad kingdom-management framework gives up a tightly focused adventuring experience. Time is divided among construction, settlement protection, hero dispatch, and scoring, so the trade-off is variety across systems rather than deep attention to one hero or quest.
What is RPG Tycoon?
Build a fantasy kingdom from a single plot of land by choosing heroes, sending them on quests, and earning loot and profits.
As the kingdom gains popularity, settlers arrive to spend money on its shops and services. More than 60 buildings and decoration options support kingdom design. Quest gameplay includes over 30 quick-quest combinations and over 60 epic quests with multiple-choice events. Settlements must be protected from danger while competing against kingdom leaders controlled by AI at different difficulty levels. Three game difficulties, three game lengths, and four terrain types affect the management experience. XML files, spritesheets, an in-game quest editor, and Steam Workshop support allow additional quests, buildings, heroes, and items to be created and shared.
