Our take on Sunset Kingdom
Villagers need assigned duties to carry out work: the quick-start sequence connects a farm to a town, assigns builders, then assigns two villagers to farming.
What is Sunset Kingdom?
Sunset Kingdom is a kingdom management game about building a prosperous land.
Build roads and bridges to connect towns and other places, then establish farms, lumber camps, quarries, docks, towers, castles and other structures. Towns can trade with one another, and their development includes facilities and perks. Gather 6 resources and build 11 types of structures; towns can be improved with 7 facilities and 18 perks. Assign villagers to duties such as building and farming, and manage food production.
Bandit raids and Viking attacks threaten the kingdom, while a lack of food can leave people starving. The game has autosaving and hotkeys for tasks such as construction, town selection and changing game speed. The stated playtime is 2-5 hours, with another attempt possible after failure.
