Description
** Nominated by the Independent Games Festival for Excellence in Design. **
** Two IGF Honorable Mentions for Music **
In Kingdom: New Lands, you take on the role of a monarch struggling to build your kingdom up from nothing. Explore the lands for resources, recruit loyal subjects, and shore up your defenses — but make haste, for when nightfall comes, a dark and greedy presence awaits…
Kingdom: New Lands provides a welcome yet challenging & strategic experience for newcomers and longtime fans alike. Building upon the award-winning twist on tower defense gameplay and mystery of classic Kingdom, New Lands introduces an abundance of new content to the IGF-nominated title while maintaining the simplicity and depth that legions of monarchs have come to cherish.
Travel to the New Lands and welcome the deluge of new mounts, merchants, and vagrants that call these isles home, but be wary of the new obstacles that threaten your arrival – for not just the greedy creatures block your way, but even the environment itself can defeat you.
Be brave, ruler, and fight to the bitter end, lest these New Lands conquer you instead.
“The fact that it’s far deeper than I could have imagined has easily pushed this into my Best of 2017 list.” -Touch Arcade
“A cryptic, gorgeous, and righteously frustrating way to spend time.” -PC Gamer
“I am in love.” -Destructoid
EXPLORE
Traverse the land on horseback to discover all the wealth, secrets, and unlockables that you can use to your advantage.
RECRUIT
Across the land, wandering vagrants await your orders. Spend gold to recruit them as loyal subjects to help build and bolster your kingdom.
BUILD
Do you need sturdier walls, or taller sentry towers? Farming plots or bakeries? As the leader of your people, shape and sustain your kingdom as you see fit.
DEFEND
The wisest of monarchs know that the night brings danger. Make sure you’re safe and well protected from the insidious Greed when the sun sets – if they steal your crown, it’s all over!
STRATEGIZE
Time and gold are both in limited supply. The army of Greed grows stronger with each passing day. The land, while plentiful, can also be harsh. Will you make the right choices of when and where to devote your resources?

Kingdom: New Lands Reviews
Even though it is on mobile its still got us into it. The sound design is just great it really makes you feel that every time you pick up a coin is a little victory and every time you upgrade our building is an even bigger one. Gameplay its so simple yet complex in a way to be able to get further in the game. Overall worth every penny.
The moment kingdoms 2 crown came out this game is just a bad copy everything in 2 crowns is better then new land.
Its a little more unrealistic than kingdom to crowns but its better.
We havent run into any bugs and its kept us entertained over the past couple weeks.
Game is very good! We bought it on pc too and we have sunk many hours into it.
We love this game fr but in the norse one it gets real hard real quick which is reeaaally annoying because it was hard to progress but all and all 10/10.
We’ve been utterly obsessed with this game for weeks now and we cant see myself losing interest anytime soon. It doesnt give you any instruction so its kind of like a fun puzzle to solve and figure out. We just figured out the accountant guy who stores all your coins, how neat!!! We love that you can continually discover new parts of the game. Although it seems like its repetitive and the same game over and over, theres so much to discover and learn and utilize to beat the islands. And that feeling of your boat pulling out of the dock to the next island (especially when youve been trying to beat the island for WEEKS) is priceless.
Im on the thred island and its kind of annoying too because when we were about to leave the third island five greed Giants came up to us when we were leaving our base five of those Giants went through our base and destroyed our base without us knowing and then they were spawning more of those little guys and attacking us and our ship and then we had to restart.
The game is awesome in all but it should have a rush mode where you have 12 minutes to get far as possible and you get a high score and that will make it fun and also make a peaceful Mode to the game thanks for the awesomeness feedback on your games please take care from covid19 please and the features to the game oh also covid19 makes people sick please wear a so you dont please make a new kingdom game like kingdom the arctic or kingdom invasion of Rome.
We paid 10 dollars for this and you should see a lets play before you play this but we enjoy it.
We’ve been playing this game for years and its great. But we would like it if the vagrants you gave gold the. Next morning they would pay taxes to you.
Wow, didnt know a pixelated video game could be this amazing. Gameplay is fun and challenging! It also has good music.
We are so happy to hear that kingdom two crowns is a little good game but this is better.
Such a good game to play, after this good experience Ill definitely buy the sequel.
Love it when things are going well, the coin in rolling in, and Im progressing the game feels soooo awesome with a good challenge. But once things start looking south its very hard to recover later in a map. The little dudes infuriatingly dont do the tasks we set up about a quarter of the time, and are more often than not on the wrong side of the field. We know Im missing something, as the game wants you to throw yourself at it to figure out all the nuance. But man, Im kind of done haha. We cant handle the heart break anymore. Also this is such a perfect game for iPad.
We have recently redownloaded and am running into some issues we dont remember experiencing before. 1. Our defensive line gets set to the farthest wall in the process of getting built, not the one with actual defensive capability and this means our catapult and archers end up running out into a killing field. 2. Builders will complete tasks outside of the walls even at night and this causes the same issue as #1. Can our pesants be smarter please?
The hermits just walk right outside the walls and hop into the incoming wave of greed and no other npc in the game does this we feel like a slight change in their AI is needed otherwise we just lose our hermits before we can even expand.
So people are saying you need to find an altar to upgrade your towers and walls to stone and they also say its in the woods and you need to find it but we went both ways all the way to the end and we didnt find it. What do we need to do to find this altar?
This game is really repetitive and it feels like you have to play the game the same way every time or else you wont get far.
After we get our walls to wood we cant find the stone monument in the woods. We’ve seen videos of it but never seen it… Please help unless its another bug.
The game overall is pretty good and quite the time killer. Character models and environment are amazing and it really gets you immersed into the game. However, if there is one thing that throws us off every time, is the really dumb friendly AI. You will probably spend more money getting your settlers back than anything else, and that is because the AI is so stupid that theyll just stand still and wait for the horde of monsters to attack instead of you know, get shelter at night and use their bows as theyre supposed to. Another thing that really bothers us is the horse, like good grief can that horse be any slower and tired. Is a really good game but these small things among others just kinda ruin it.
We played all day and got far, we got a hermit and a builder statue and went back to island one. HOWEVER when we saved and closed the app we went back to island 2 with no progress. Extremely frustrating this happened twice.
We love the game because of the art style and it’s just genuinely fun to play, and it’s easy for us to get lost in for hours. But recently it doesn’t save our progress at all, and it only loads our previous save before we unlocked the horse and statue on the second island. It’s very upsetting especially since this happened twice in 2 days and it’s really discouraging us from playing because we don’t think opening a new game will fix it and we’re scared that this will happen again.
Its a fun game but the save option doesnt really work when we close and reopen the game it will reset our progress please fix it.
Builders wont build, cant make them build or destroy the object so youre left with a weak area that has no wall but archers push into and die, needs to be more manual with the building and destroying.
So like, they teach you how to train an archer, and thats it. After that we felt very lost. Maybe Im just clueless but we tried for another hour after that and couldnt figure out what to do. More direction would be nice.
Not worth the price. No way Im paying for the second one. The bug that made us rage quit wasnt the fact that we sometimes cant move, its that the hired peasants more often than not just disappear before they get back to camp. For example, we buy a bow and hire two peasants. They walk back at minimal speed, then when we go off screen and back, one is gone. Do it again, and sometimes the second is gone. Since they take literally 5-10 minutes to walk back to camp, this is a huge loss. Sometimes we can find a new peasant at the camp we already hired them from. For brain dead AI, once the nights move on, they all start dying because, rather than standing on the safe side of the wall they just built/walked up to, they hang out on the monster side. Even though theres a watchman in a tower, they just wait around until the monsters kill them. So, the majority of your people die from feeding themselves to the monsters. Since replenishing them requires extreme patience, slowly walking with them all the way back to make sure they dont pop out of existence, or extreme luck that they dont pop out if existence if you leave, this is a game of frustration. We dont understand how the 5 star reviews that mention the bugs are ok with them. For us, it seems to be game breaking.
Don’t actually think this is a, "game," per se. The balance of the mechanics works on a superficial level of, "survive, build boat, escape, repeat." But, if you go beyond that loop than you’ll start seeing how lazy the devs are and how poor the mechanics function under challenge. So, play it while you’re waiting for something else. DON’T be fooled into thinking that the game offers any more depth than that.
We hate the archers. They are such garbage. Couldnt hit a wall if it was in front of them. 2/5 stars because everything else is good but there is not real direction and things dont seem to be upgradable past wood/arrows not matter how much money you get.
27 April 2021 our player is on island two. We have one knight with a squad of archers. Our unattached archers no longer venture forth to hunt. Because there is a single Greed in an endless loop, going back and forth, day and night, just outside the archers post. The loop is in front of the tech monument with a compass. Our knight has retreated to an earlier post because a post is damaged from a Blood Moon attack. During that attack we lost our builders. The knight and squad do not move from their new post, day or night. Our new builders will not repair the damaged post. They pick up their hammer and stay in camp, as if there were nothing to be repaired. Hence we cannot send our knight anywhere. There is a farmer who doesnt till the ground because the farmhouse on the right side of camp is partly situated on a bridge. Our other farmers will not return to camp at night. Two of them walked to the farmhouse on the left side of camp, faced the Greed horde, and ceased to be farmers. Briefly, we are stuck with no reliable source of coins, and no coins means no game. *** In a new game. Crown dislodged on day 46. Could not recover it because the controls froze. Only the Sun moved. So we could not even let the Greed have the crown and presumably start over with tech progress. End 27 April.
We’ve enjoyed the game but reloading how many little bugs still exist after it seems people have complained about them for years makes us feel like in playing a rigged game. Our archers wont hunt most of the rabbits and this makes earning gold quite changing. Watching rabbits just sit there next to our archers is really annoying. Paying 10 bucks for a game should not have so many bugs.
We’ve lost so much progress, entire islands of progress, to the non-functioning save feature. We wish we could continue playing.
Instead of updating this game and improving it, they create a whole new game you have to buy to get updated features such as multiplayer.
We’ve invested 4 hours into the same level and failed twice due to two different bugs. The first time we were about to win and the game just stopped letting us move, causing us to lose our crown and have to start all over. The second time the engineers wouldnt move our catapult to one of the sides no matter how many hammers we bought and we had to rush to get the boat and then failed due to not having a catapult in a critical spot. Great concept, piss poor execution. You shouldnt be charging money for a broken game. Fix your game.
Game is awesome and one of the most fun we’ve played. However towards the end of the game a large wave of unstoppable creatures comes without any warning and destroys everything causing a loss.
Freezes on ios 13.5 ipad pro 2 gen, cant even play the game.
Not worth 10 dollars. You can get a combo meal at Mickey Ds, and you will be much happier. Especially if the fries are fresh.
Bring Two Crowns down to .99 or no one will buy a side scroller for more than a dollar sorry.
Why were the stickers taken away?
This thing is full of bugs. The game is all about worker management, but the worker AI is awful. Builders ignore orders, archers ignore targets. Great concept, truly flawed execution.
So we’ve enjoyed this game very much with all it has to offer and find it fun but we have one problem, every time we save the game and leave, we come back to all our progress gone so if this could be fixed than we would have a much better time with this game, thank you!
Best game we’ve ever played on iOS so deep we’ve sunk dozens of hours into it and still going.
If you are someone who loves games that every time you upgrade something, it changes it looks, get this! We have this game on Xbox, PC, and Mobile, but we also play Two Crowns, on PC, so both are great, but this is by for the best strategy game we have played in a long time, the only thing beating it is Civilization VI, which you should also check out!!!
This is one of the best iOS games we’ve played and Im excited for kingdom two crowns we hope this game will get popularity again.
This game is great very simple gaming mechanics but hard to master! That being said there are two things we wish they would fix or somehow make better. Possible spoiler if you havent played but not much of a spoiler. 1) When you destroy a portal during the day all our archers and workers just continue you hunt or stay outside the walls even though it turns into a red moon and enemies come meaning they get wiped out and no one is protecting the walls. 2) When you finally build the boat all your workers like to run to the boat which is fine but then they continue to die until your out of workers. There should be a way the workers can just hop on the boat because it still moves without them or they could hop on until the enemies are gone then hop off again and walk with the boat instead of just running to the boat and dying then there are no more workers. Still super fun game though!
Despite a few bugs none of them are game breaking. We’ve played this game for almost an entire year before playing the sequel and we can say it was time well spent. It is a very beautiful game with its pixel aesthetic that a casual and competitive gamer can play. The causal gamer can sail land to land with ease enjoying the new mechanics that each island adds to the game, where the competitive gamer can truly work out the money making of the game and mass produce it on end to best survive the hoards of greed the eventually come for you in an attempt to survive as long as possible.
We’ve had this game for over 3 years now, love it! Recently decided to play it again, but after the third island the game crashes amd we loose all our statues! Please fix, we’ve wasted 12 hours this round having it happen 3 times.
This game is great but there is a big bug. When we save and exit the game, it restarts everything and we lose all our progress. Extremely frustrating. Also, your character will sometimes move on its own when you stand still, which is why we wanted to restart the game. Edit: we had to choose in the settings of the phone to have the icloud sync with this app in order to save. Now saving works. Tested on iphone and ipad.
We used to work at a 7-11 in the south side of Salinas, we had an elder gentleman deliver our papers to us, we would talk to Daniel for hours some nights and we became pretty close. One day he told us his son had helped create a game under Raw Fury. So we decided to check it out, this game is surprisingly deep and very fun to play. The way the background changes as you gallop along feels very cinamatic and is a joy to behold. Your dad raised a very talented individual, thanks for this masterpiece! Keep up the good work!
