About the Game




A unique blend of City Building, Social Management, Exploration and Adventure gameplay, Distant Kingdoms brings a rich fantasy world to life.

Help the Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Orcs of Talam begin anew in the fabled land of Ineron.

  • Build a sprawling network of towns and villages as you forge a new civilisation.
  • Research new technologies and dabble in magical conjuration to support your growing settlements.
  • Accessible for beginners, with complex and deep gameplay for experienced city-builders.



  • Explore a new world filled with secrets, sending out adventuring parties into the unexplored mists. Help decide their fate through a choose-your-own-adventure style quest and event system.
  • Deal with troublesome creatures, from Dragons to Imps, Wraiths and Trolls and venture into deep, dark and curious dungeons spread across the map.



  • Provide for your population’s needs through a deep web of production lines, as they move through the social strata from peasant to noble, catering to each race’s desires.
  • Help the humans, dwarves, elves and orcs come together across multiple maps and scenarios in a future grand campaign to save civilisation from apocalyptic ruin.
