What Makes Kingshot Stand Out
Kingshot is an innovative idle medieval survival game that combines strategic gameplay with rich details waiting to be explored.
When a sudden rebellion overturns the fate of an entire dynasty and ignites a devastating war, countless people lose their homes. In a world riddled with societal collapse, rebel invasions, rampant disease, and mobs desperate for resources, survival is the ultimate challenge. As a governor in these turbulent times, it's up to you to lead your people through these adversities, devising internal and diplomatic strategies to rekindle the spark of civilization.
[Core Features]
Defend Against Invasions
Stay vigilant and ready to repel invasions at any moment. Your town, the last bastion of hope, depends on it. Gather resources, upgrade your defenses, and prepare for battle to ensure survival in these tough times.
Manage Human Resources
Enjoy a unique gameplay mechanic involving the allocation of survivor roles such as workers, hunters, and chefs. Monitor their health and happiness to ensure they remain productive. Respond quickly to illness to make sure everyone receives timely treatment.
Establish Laws
Codes of law are vital for sustaining civilization and are crucial for the growth and strength of your town.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a fun game not to stressful.
Wish you could turn the screen tho.
How far into the game is this. This is what we wanted to play but the game is drastically different. Ive been playing it for a while. We were hoping it would unlock but it hasnt. The game is good but doesnt play like shown in the advertisement. Disappointed.
Buen jueguito para matar el aburrimiento.
Very engaging with good tutorial, continuous achievement that makes us want to keep playing.
Everyone is complaining about the game not being like the ads thats like a hint of the gameplay they probably didnt even play it the game is fun stop complaining people.
This game is not only easy to understand and play but it is also extremely fun. We cant seem to stop playing after downloading it.
This game fells really easy to play advancing the town doesnt take 10 ads but just a little patience its really fun and a good break from all the ad filled games.
The game is better than it says on ad super cool but it wont let us add our mom.
The thrills of combat and expansion in this game feel great.
Its graphics are fantastically wonderful and the voices are so mmm we love your game.
The fact that there is no starter packs and the gems dont require a million dollars like they do in clash royale is insane. Awesome game, definitely would recommend.
We saw this game from an ad like few thousand time and it was so annoying but we accidentally clicked and tried it. Honestly, its fun and interesting, and there is no ad in the game. You dont need to watch ad or spend money in order to have a fun time, although u can spend couple of dollars to strengthen your hero more quickly. The game is time-consuming but you can manage to get stuff done within 1-2 hrs.
We named our character Nut man and now the game messages us like every 10 minutes and says Honored Nut man, how should we feel about this? Pretty fun game tho.
The game is excellent and you can progress quickly without spending money just time. Fun to interact with people from all over the world.
We like it Kingshot a lot but it needs something were you can gift stuff to your friends but Kingshot is amazing thank you.
Ad fix it the game and ad are different we fell like we got scammed same with another one of your game with is just a copy of this (sorry if we were mean Im just not happy about this)could you please fix this Im putting 5stars to nice to be nice is because of these problems the other game was white out survival.
Its a fun game and no ads and its easy to understand we recommend it.
The game instructions are lacking, creating a learning curve. City dependency on building upgrades can be a challenge. A lot to do, but enjoyable for sure. Spent $5.47 for a boost, but found out it won't help much at our low level. You'll enjoy playing.
So personally we found it heartwarming very peaceful and Apart of a great experience, Above All, we do enjoy it And hope others do too.
It is not like that ad but it is still not a bad game.
We got this game today and its probaly the best games Ive ever played.
If you are looking for a game like the ads show this will not be it. The whole enemies coming for your base and you mining coins isnt something that is done at all. Its a fun game we like it but basically just assume you are not playing the same game advertised.
The best advice we can give you is to avoid downloading the app. Youll have fun but the pressure to buy is real. Youll can still enjoy the game without buying but it wont be the experience you first seek. You just have to accept you wont be the strongest which is hard to do.
The game is nothing like the add but is super fun for about a month and the alliances start battling for the castles and stuff and start out leveling you and you are going to get nowhere if you dont pay otherwise you will have to be ready to wait forever on upgrading also if you have to play DO NOT we RECOMMEND DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN ALLIANCE.
We've played many games like this and enjoyed them – but couldn't get into this, in part because the strategy and goals (and instruction!) were vague or unclear. After about 30 mins, decided we had no interest in investing more in the hope it would eventually click.
While not like the ads, its not bad. Its a town building game.
If you have ever played Whiteout Survival, then you have played Kingshot too. It is another title from Century Games and White Bear Studio, so its to be expected that their games are similar, but it feels like a reskin of Whiteout Survival. This doesnt make it a bad game, both are addicting for a bit and a great way to pass some time. We just cant help but feel like we were sold short by seeing the same exact mechanics and even same exact animations when downloading a game that we expected to be wildly different.
This game trying to get money out of you as much as possible. Free to play people are just the bot for the people who spend a lot of money. This game will not last long so dont waste your time.
Still a fun and entertaining game.
This game doesn't play at all like the ads show, but it's still fun. Lots of mini-games within the game to keep your interest. We're just extremely disappointed that the ads make you believe you're downloading a completely different game. It's deceptive and we submitted a report to the app store for deceptive/misleading ads.
Ads are more fun to play. Game is similar but not as interesting. If game was like ads this review would be five stars.sigh.
This game is nothing like the ad. Disappointing.
Seems like an ok game if your into more we depth strategy, so that makes us wonder why they completely misrepresented the game in the adds. Adsolutely NOT a castle defense type game (as advertised) which is what we wanted. We scored the low bc theyre dishonest at best. And cmon people, nothing is free. We no adds, whats in it for them? You are going to have to buy upgrades to succeed In most goals. Any time the adds and reality dont line up, its a huge red flag.
This game was fun for about 3 days… Then the usual nonsense started that it idle games… The wait times for upgrades being days long or else… PAY… Ridiculous… Deleted.
The game is not that fun and it looked a lot more fun in the ad and now its pretty stupid.
We would give this game 5 stars but am so frustrated with it right now. The game is really fun and its been great connecting with people all over the world however every time theres an update the game gets glitchy. Either we cant read any of the alliance and personal messages sent (the page goes completely blank) or we cant log into the game all together. Thats where Im at right now. Im currently sitting at 99% uploaded every time we try to get on deleting the game then reloading it, powering down our phone, changing our WiFi etc doesnt help. Its annoying and Im considering just not playing anymore for this reason.
Always getting attacked by a higher ranked person when we are not playing it. We quit playing because it is stupid. Theres no way for us to defend ourselves. You get tricked into playing his with a false ad as well.
Its not quite you saw on the ads.
If this game was the game that is in the promo, we would really enjoy it but the game that you actually get is nothing like the promo and its kind of disappointing cause we enjoyed the promo and they should build on that.
We hate how many mobile games use false advertising and this game is one of them. We would honestly rate this a 4-5 star game because for what it is, its pretty good and not insane with MTX. Now the false advertising was a mini game shown as an ad when we were playing a different game. You used your king to collect gold and build up towers and barracks to defend your city from hordes of enemies, like balloons tower defense almost. Its NOT like that in any way. Its clash of clans, more idle wait to upgrade this or that and theres 0 real gameplay. Hate games like this, you had us in the first half.
This game looks nothing like the ads. It looks like a fun shooter but when you get into it, its just a bunch of building buildings and waiting. Extremely boring and misleading.
Not a tower defense game like the ad. Id say more like town building style. We wish it was more like it was advertised.
This game is really expensive and we really think this game deserves only two stars because its its very boring and theres better games out there than this game but if you are looking for fighting and youre a boring couch potato then this is your game but not ours.
Didnt know how much Id be into this game now but it is something to appreciate now as we know now how much more fun it could be.
The game is nothing like the Ads, its fun and can pass a lot of time and spend a lot of money but its fun.
We like but it not like the add tho but still good.
We really like this game its really fun and entertaining no ads at all and its really fun so we really enjoyed and we really really mean it this is the best game we have ever played we really recommend this to everyone.
There are no ads and its somewhat like the ads but its better than the ads you should actually try it it is a very fun experience that we dont feel like deleting.
First off it is nothing like the ad says. But it is honestly so much better than the ads. Ive been playing for over 5 months. And its amazing. And you dont have to spend money like some of the reviews say. We havent spent any money on the game but our tower is level 28 almost 29 and we have had an amazing experience since there are no ads in the game while playing. Truly an amazing game and it s the only game we can play without getting bored.
