Welcome to Automatic Kingdom
The indie game developer 1.5 Eyed Studio has revealed that Automatic Kingdom is launching in Q4 2025 on Steam. A free demo is already available on the platform for everyone to try out. You can also check out the short trailer below to get a glimpse of its gameplay.
The game challenges you to build a thriving kingdom from the ground up, blending the depth of city builders with the precision of board games and the efficiency of automation. As the ruler of a young kingdom, you’ll use cards each turn to place Citizens, Constructions, Animals, and Soldiers, steadily shaping a city capable of producing resources, defending itself, and withstanding a variety of threats.
Automatic Kingdom focuses heavily on creating clever synergies. Placing Citizens strategically can activate powerful abilities and generate resources, but as your settlement expands, you’ll need to rethink your layout. Deciding whether to keep a Cobbler near Farmers for food production, shift them to boost Miners for labor, or replace them entirely with a Cook becomes a crucial part of growth.
The world will not stay peaceful for long. Natural disasters, invading forces, criminal elements, and even magical upheavals will test your plans. These challenges grow stronger over time, demanding that your kingdom evolves just as quickly to survive.
Adding urgency is the game’s resource system. Most resources reset each turn. You can’t simply wait to accumulate enough to build a structure. Instead, you must reorganize and adapt to reach your goals.
Progression through higher Prosperity tiers unlocks new cards, resources, and abilities, pushing you to balance old strategies with fresh possibilities. Automatic Kingdom promises a dynamic mix of planning, adaptation, and creativity when it arrives later next year.
