Basic gameplay
At the start of the game you and your allies will leave the city gates and venture out into the unknown.
Uncovering randomly placed tiles you will encounter monsters, survivors, resources and strategic locations. By completing quests and destroying enemy camps you will gain experience and learn new abilities.
You will need to manage your workers and gather resources to trade for better items and prepare yourself for the final boss. Choosing your roles wisely is a key part of success and without the right balance of damage dealing, absorption and healing you’ll quickly find yourself in an unwinnable battle.
The City of Kings relies on cooperation from all players and will leave you making some difficult decisions. With shared resources, objectives and rewards you’ll need to know when to go it alone and when it is safer to group up. Remember though, time is key and every move you make brings certain death that little bit closer.
