60 of 183 · most liked firstDamn I tought it was a Rogue-like where you would play and improve your units / castle unlock new cards, its not. Its a basic strategy game where cards are given and you build a village / defense with limited options. Its very simple and not very replayable, damn, my bad. Its not terrible but deffenitely not what I expected
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you’re looking for a quick-hit roguelite with card-based mechanics, this game will catch your attention at first glance. There’s a compelling foundation here: you’ll manage a settlement under siege, draw cards to deploy troops and buildings, and fight off relentless waves of enemies. The card system itself is easy to grasp and delivers those satisfying deck-builder moments, and for short bursts of play, it offers that "just one more run" feeling. Some players will find themselves drawn in…

Kingdom's Deck turns me into a card-wielding monarch, making tough choices like “should I feed my people or build another wall?” Spoiler: Walls are always the answer. I’ve got a kingdom to protect, and these cards aren’t playing themselves. 🏰🃏✨ Follow my curator page for more deck-building dilemmas, magical moments, and kingdoms where the walls are your best friends! 🌿👑✨ https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is very mid tier. Nothing horrible, nothing great. If the screenshots and video look shallow to you, that's because the game is. The game is farrrrr too easy on the normal difficulty. You should not be locking the harder difficulty behind having already completed the map. The game isn't interesting enough to warrant replaying parts of it. Just let people decide for themselves if they can handle the "challenge"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nope. Got done in about 6 hrs, just not enough content here. Dev needs about triple the amount of maps, skill tree or something, building upgrades, tower upgrades and soldier/archer/axeman/wizard class upgrades. I typically like these kind of games but this one is ridiculously short. Got to level 22 in Dargost realized it's probably endless and zzzzz for a couple more hours until back away slowly, so boring and redundant at that point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is aight but it has a few issues: - You can't restart just the fight section - you have to restart the whole day - You can't speed up the fight like you can speedup the day section - The difficulty ramps up too fast early game and too slowly late game - Wall placements are awkward - You are forced to create every wood wall before you can upgrade to stone - Levels are too short, the game ends before you are able to make a cool base - The maps aren't replayable and grinding 100%…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mediocre at best. This is very much my sort of game, or it's supposed to be. The problem is, it's nearly all dependent on what cards you get dealt. But you get to restart each day if you fail. You WILL fail if you keep playing with bad hands. In practice you keep hitting restart till you get a decent hand, then you win. This isn't fun. The game as it stands is dull. Wish I could refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE these types of games and always get excited when I find a new one to try. So far, I've encountered things that other reviewers also pointed out. Like having enough food but all my units and villagers disappear some nights randomly. Also sometimes the villagers don't go home at night and it bugs out really bad to where they don't even produce resources anymore even though it shows a villager on that node and I can't add another one on it so I just have to wait for a new resource node card…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It just doesn't spark joy. The choices are very limited. You don't even get to really go over the choices because of the time restraint The choices feel very bland The battles are repetitive and don't offer a lot of choice either The rebuilding of structures is weird: You don't get to choose the order/ I don't even know if they cost resources to rebuild (it's not indicated or explained, would have expected something for this in the tutorial mission) and you have to reassign your villagers to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately I have to agree with the bad reviews on this one. Game simply isn't fun or polished. The management part is doable and if it had more to in that department, it could be even better but as it is (and it doesn't appear to have unlockables), it's really limited. Then you have the bad part, the combat. It's clunky and unbalanced. Soon enough enemies come through the multiple portals that are stronger and in bigger numbers than your troops. Sure, your troops can resurrect but even so,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wow so... my walls kept being destroyed 24/7 within seconds, the enemies outnumbered me by the hundreds on day 3, the upgrades to my towers increased the damage by maybe 5% while being so expensive and rare that you never find them, the villagers and soldiers you can have are extremely numbered, yet they die like flies (there is a chance that they will revive, but you will defo have losses every day), new special enemies spawn every 2 days, yet the spells you unlock do almost no damage against…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For what it is. This is a beautiful game with all the makings of a great tower defense game. I only played this for about 6 hours and the progression with new things is fed to you at a constant rate. Both boons and enemies. This was made by a single dev and they did a wonderful job on this. Here is my review video https://youtu.be/ONEeEgExISI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The modern gaming landscape has warped people into not really understanding what a bad game is. Bare in mind I picked this up in 70% off sale so it cost me the same as a bottle of fizz. It is simple and easy and once you have your strategy that works you can repeat that until you see credits roll. It's shallow but there is some mental engagement required, it looks pretty, it functions as intended with no bugs. A real shame as I feel with a £5 price tag instead of a £8.50 tag than the reviews…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for a bit, but gets very tedious. No Modification of deck or control over upgrades available. Not a lot of fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun, but far too short. I played for 1 hour and only two maps are left. Half of the achievements are unlocked. I haven't seen any endless mode or anything like that either. Someone said something about 10 hours. I wish it was that long then it would be worth the money, but for 1-2 hours it's not worth the money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a lot of content. Less than 10 hours and 100%....no end game content just yeah idk. Very easy, plays kinda like a mobile game. Wouldn't recommend. Kept thinking "huh this has to get hard soon right?" nope....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Speaking as someone who (accidentally) bought this twice, DON'T! It looks fun, they've checked all the lil' boxes in the steam page to make you think you will like the game. But it's just not that great compared to everything else that is in the genre.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We really need a meh button. It's not super bad but there are many similar games out there that are waaay better. It feels cluncky and uninspired.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has okay idea at start, but execution is bad. Defense building is very limited, walls are forced to place in odd or bad spots and they are like paper which slows enemy wave for few seconds. After few maps the monsters are just super powerful and will always reach your town center. So best defense is to hold all units and tower near town center instead of near walls. Random encounters in town center or castle of giving materials for some soldier or meat is most of times a very bad trade.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very lack luster. It screams more demo / alpha version than a full game. Do not buy, this is a $5 game at most, not a $10. And that's being generous
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just really terrible ... please don't purchase this game. I'm really not picky when it comes to games, but this one just feels like a scam. It's really clunky, controls don't work and are awkward, the gameplay is painfully ... painfuulllyyy boring, the graphics aren't polygonal they're just bad, and it's just an overall extremely unrefined game. Feels like a computer science first year project. Please pick something else.

unlabelledView post →Game gets way too difficult too fast and it's just not fun at all. You can't really upgrade anything, boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Endless Mode isnt fun. The amount of farm that u get and elite units is <3%. And the difficulty increase is annoying. Everywhere healers that heal 5 times more than u make damage after already lvl 20. It gives u the need to look for some exploits. Doesnt worth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been putting some time into Kingdom's Deck. Pretty simple, but fun (and short!) city building card game. Only $10. I can definitely see this being expanded upon though if the developer does it again.
unlabelledView post →I love deck building roguelikes but this game aint it sadly. Its missing some major UI improvements (why am I stuck at looking at 2 cards at a time, why do I have to pause at the start of a day and after picking a spell piece to play optimally its just tedious) needs a harder difficulty and/or more choices. You can play the later levels pretty much all the same always get wood/gold/stone/2x vill with 2 farms at the start then with good micro you can easily beat early levels. IT NEEDS CHOICES…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has real potential and it keep you hooked. I intended just to play a couple hours and played longer than that already! Pros: - Smooth fluid game-play - Not overly complicated - Multiple levels - Plenty of room for more maps/add-ons. Cons: - Sometimes the game gets stuck paused when in the market and only way to fix it is to start the fight (I think it happens if you go into the market and the day ends). - Would be good to have an indicator on how many wood/gold/stone you're producing…

unlabelledView post →Nice game but with one major flaw - both lifebars (soldiers and enemies) are the same color. They should be different. In the confusion of the battle, one cant tell them apart!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game's concept is great, graphics are cute, but the gameplay gets difficult fast without the option for any permanent upgrades. Also I'd love for the enemy to path through holes in the walls instead of just going straight for the first peace of wall it gets in its way. The walls feel useless, except for a few seconds of delay before they are destroyed for the day.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea is good but the actual gameplay left me wanting a lot and I am not going to lie, this felt more like an early access title rather than a fully fledged release, I had to double check and this pushed me to write this negative review... The AI pathfinding is clunky as well as unit positioning and direction, the UI interface is not great, the choice of having a random timer during the day, which ultimately does not serve any purpose, if the whole game was turn based somehow this would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good stuff. Early stages can be a little difficult and later stages a little easy. But those kind of things iron out over time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im not sure how this game has so many positive reviews unless people are just playing the creative modes. I like playing difficult games but this game is literally impossible by day 5 there is 200 enemies to your maybe 15-20 they will destroy your defense walls within 2 seconds and kill all your units that MIGHT respawn incredibly fast you can skim by for like 8-10 days but only if you are insanely lucky with the cards but after that there is no way to beat this game unless you are playing the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love it i dont care is my teacher tell me to get off in class this game is addicting and worth every detention
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the original idea is cool but somehow the execution is bad. Some of my complaints are: I can't tell how much resources I'm going to get by the end of the day. Workers generate resources after certain time passes but there's no info on how long that time is. On top of that, I don't even know why I want to gather x amount of resources. All I know is that today, I need this much to play these cards in my hand, only to find out that I need a crap ton amount tomorrow because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too RNG for my tastes. Feels like I don't get enough of what I need or the choices are between the 4th producer or 30 of that product when I already have 300. Enemies do a ton of damage to the keep and your soldiers do pitiful damage vs them. Melee seem especially bad because they will die if overwhelmed and depending on the mode, won't come back. But stacking all crossbow keeps them alive but they don't do very good damage. Game feels like there should be some meta shop where you improve…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good. i actually played this for 9 hours straight... when I closed the game for the first time Steam said 8.8hours then adjusted to 3ish.. Im not sure why..Actually a solid game.. Idk what all the hate is about.. I kinda dont like how the RNG feels... It almost feels like it artificially limits you so you cant really get ahead.. On the Survival Levels it bascially became impossible on level 30 where a hoard of these healing enemies spawned and I was only able to kill 2 or 3 of them…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun to play until it kind of repeats. Each map starts with the same power you unlocked with the previous map. Eventually everything just gets chaotic and more reliant on fallen grave sites to revive your soldiers. Each soldier is different, but nothing stands out. So it gets redundant.

unlabelledView post →So far there's nothing wrong with the game. My only worry right now is that I might finish it too fast. - Pick one of two cards, build, repeat until deck's empty. - Make sure to manage resources, defenses and villagers. - Defend. A very good game-loop and huge extra kudos for builders who will repair all that's lost during the night - if there's enough time. Only thing that's odd, trees, stones, nothing matters for the buildings. Seem to be purely decorative. Then again, folks have legs,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was quite fun, but I got a bug that all of my soldiers just disappeared after one night and I had no idea. My houses were not destroyed at all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its terribly slow, the night scene takes way too long and I spend most of my time just waiting for a cool down, the planning seems to have little to no affect.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately the controls and UI make this game more frustrating than it needs to be. Cool concept otherwise
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't want to go into too much detail: the game isn't perfect, but it's good, you can get hooked, and it's 100% worth the price (even without a discount). Buildings Management Tower Defense It all works and is playable, even if there are some silly nuances.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes I'm tired from work and I just want to play a chill cozy game for an hour that is interesting and has management and is not stressing while still being challenging and smart. Kingdom's Deck scratches that itch 😄, starts easy and gets more interesting with time, without loosing the chill vibes, which I appreciate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Build your kingdom with the cards you’ve been dealt and protect it from the Undead! Kingdom’s Deck is a pretty fun strategy city builder game that kind of reminded me of Thronefall combined with Colonists of Catan. It’s rather charming and has enough content to set it apart from other games like this. The gameplay loop consists of two parts: daytime and nighttime. Daytime Daytime runs on a timer, which I assume is mostly there to limit the amount of resources you can get per day. I’m…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its fine since its the cost of a gallon of milk. But im 5h in and prob gonna put it down and never re-visit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →surprisingly fun, decent art, needs more cards and levels. good for a few hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a business management and card-based strategy game. It's quite interesting to play and is perfect for changing your taste when you get tired of the big games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid. It is the usual "build up your base/economy/army during the day, fight progressively stronger enemies during the night" setup. The twist here is that during the day phase, your options regarding new buildings, units, or resources come in pairs, and you only get to pick one of the options from each pair. You draw a certain number of such pairs every day, and then you have to decide: build a windmill to grow the economy, or get a swordsman to strengthen the army; recruit a unit, or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once the mechanics of game play are figured out it's a fun way to pass the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✔️ The Good • Cool concept: The blend of deckbuilding with kingdom/strategy management is a great idea, and it feels different from the usual roguelike card game loop. • Easy to understand loop: The core flow is straightforward: build, defend, expand, repeat. You’re playing quickly without needing a long tutorial. • Good “one more attempt” pull: When a run goes bad, it’s easy to restart with a better plan in mind and immediately want to see if it works. •…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Odd with the reviews, I was able to beat the first map after the tutorial with no problems on the first time. Seems just about managing resources and ordering troops to specific places. I will be playing some more after the first map or challenge. Maybe some of the people put soldiers with a button selected with a specific order of defending a spot with limited movement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →more cheese than wisconsin
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why let you summon troops if they dont attack or defend anything they just stand there as they and your buildings are attacked and do nothinghttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2655590/Kingdoms_Deck/#
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdom’s Deck, developed by Ivan Aco and published by Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games, is a hybrid strategy title that combines card-based mechanics with kingdom management and survival-focused defense. It takes familiar elements from deckbuilders, city builders, and wave-based strategy games and fuses them into a single loop that revolves around preparation, adaptation, and long-term planning. Rather than asking players to micromanage every detail in real time, the game emphasizes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reject every plea, Archers lounge safe behind stone walls, Lightning strikes foes down, Villagers relax in peace, I'm the wise ruler, Kingdom thrives under my watch.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit challenging. Similar to Thronefall but a bit more challenging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really enjoying it. It's hitting the same buttons for me as Thronefall, but it's got a really nicely distinct feel to it. Really liking the deck mechanics, and the resource management/city design elements are in a really good place between tactical, and uncomplicated. Nothing bogs you down, nothing is without some consideration. It's punchy and engaging and everything gives rather than subtracts agency. Feels very polished, looking forward to future content. It could do with more levels at…
