60 of 90 · most liked first[Disclosure: Game provided by publisher] Hey folks, added 9 Kings to my Steam Curator page. This is an absurdly fun little roguelike citybuilder with deckbuilder elements that I just can't put down right now, it's one of those "just one more run" kinda games. store.steampowered.com/app/2784470/...

unlabelledView post →One of my favorite games I picked up this year so far has been 9 Kings from Sad Socket Games published by @hoodedhorse.bsky.social ! It has been so satisfying to learn this game and a joy to add this to my 100%'d collection on Steam, 10/10 reccomend!
unlabelledView post →This weekend, tried three video games that I absolutely see myself diving deeper into: 9 Kings (roguelike deckbuilding autobattler), Sultan’s Game (card-based narrative strategy game) and Nightmare Frontier (tactical RPG extraction roguelike from the Rogue Waters folks). Games are good, gang.
unlabelledView post →13. 9Kings Yeah, back to roguelike deckbuilders. A minimalist city-builder where cards are buildings or units you place on a small grid. It's my go-to simple game for when I want to zone out and watch my little guys march out and fight the enemy's little guys store.steampowered.com/app/2784470/...

unlabelledView post →I just bought 9 Kings, and it's amazing so far. Any game that needs scientific notation to calculate damage is a banger! There may be a review coming soon™ #indiegame #roguelike #Community #Steam
unlabelledView post →One of the top 2 demos in Steam Nextfest I've played is 9 Kings. A roguelike base defense game which manages to pack a whole bunch of depth and variety in a pretty simple to understand package. I could play the demo alone for hours.
unlabelledView post →#9Kings is one of the few #IndieGames that have taken up a decent portion of my time, even if it is only a #SteamNextFest demo. It's a bit unfair when you choose endless mode, since it's designed to take you out no matter what, but still was really fun! Check it out if you haven't!
unlabelledView post →My dream play in situation coming into today was: 7. Warriors 8. Grizz 9. Kings 10. Mavs Then I want the Kings and Grizz to both win that way I can go to both the 9/10 game and the 8 seed game in SF. Need the Clips to hold.
unlabelledView post →The 9 Kings Demo has no right to be this good. Deck Building. Army management. Combine units from different kingdoms to break the game. You start with 9 little plots of land to play around with. Download it - store.steampowered.com/app/3122250/...

unlabelledView post →Actually (and this was still inspired by @jaxlersr.bsky.social) I might try an easier speedrun. I really love the game 9 Kings (a Roguelike) and apparently its actually got speedruns. I might try my own "run" called "9 Kings%" where I do 1 run with every King in a single shot.
