Our take on Windmill Kings
Rather than separating campaign strategy from head-to-head play, the game uses the same real-time battlefield ideas for both. Windmill-based gold, troop upgrades, spells, and infrastructure raids replace a purely linear clash between armies.
What is Windmill Kings?
Windmill Kings is a strategy game about reclaiming a kingdom from a black wizard who has taken the throne.
The campaign involves exploring the former homeland, recruiting allies, capturing windmills for gold, and confronting the wizard in a final battle. Real-time fights use 12 unit and structure types, with troops that can be combined, upgraded, and supported by special buildings. Spells, Giants, Rogues, and ninjas provide different tactical options, including attacks against enemy infrastructure. Players can study computer-controlled opponents as their plans unfold. A campaign against AI is joined by customizable one-on-one battles, three difficulty levels, and controls for mouse, keyboard, or controller. Two players can also compete using one keyboard.
