About the Game

Build and defend your dungeon in a strategic roguelite tower defense with board-game mechanics.

Command your troops, place traps and special rooms, and withstand relentless waves of enemies eager to overthrow your reign.

◆ Choose Your Lord!

The Lords are the heart of Kings Origin: a vibrant cast of more than six characters, each with unique abilities, personalities, and motivations.

  • Fight head-on with your Lord on the frontlines.

  • Design a labyrinth filled with traps and deceptions.

  • Or empower your minions to defend your domain.

Every strategy is viable. How far will your ambition take you?

◆ Create Your Own Adventure!

Shape your destiny day by day with decisions that change every run:

  • Branching paths with battles, events, or ambushes.

  • Fate cards that define your daily choices: fight, surprise, or reward.

  • Unique relics and hidden secrets that transform your tactics.

Careful planning is key: one misplaced room or trap could be your downfall.

◆ CONTENT

  • 6+ Lords with special abilities.

  • A wide range of units, heroes, and beasts to command.

  • Customizable traps and rooms for your dungeon.

  • Events filled with twists and surprises.

  • Mysterious relics that change every run.

  • Metaprogression to unlock permanent upgrades and expand your reign.

Rule with cunning, forge an unbreakable defense, and let your dungeon thrive in a world where only the sharpest minds survive.
