Lead Your Troops in 9 Kings
After a successful Early Access run, 9 Kings has officially launched its full version on PC, bringing plenty of new content and gameplay additions to the popular autobattler deckbuilder. Developed by Sad Socket and published by Hooded Horse and Sidekick Publishing, the game is now available on Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. PC Game Pass subscribers can also jump in right away.
In 9 Kings, players choose one of nine kings and defend their empires against endless waves of attacks from rival rulers. The ultimate goal is to become the King of Kings, but getting there won’t be easy. Players must build and expand their fortresses using a deck of cards, recruiting everything from powerful wizards and dragons to undead armies and kamikaze bombers. Every round presents new opportunities to adjust strategies and create increasingly powerful combinations.
The full release introduces four game modes, including the brand-new Joker mode, which lets players create their own rules and build a starting deck using nine cards from across all nine kings. Players can also tackle daily quests, experiment with more than 30 new edicts, and make use of stronger rainbow cards and additional perks that introduce new meta-progression mechanics. The game supports 30 languages and is also available on iOS and Android through Playdigious.
9 Kings is priced at €19.99, with a 50% launch discount available during its first two weeks. With more ways to experiment and build ridiculous combinations, the full release looks like a great excuse to return to the battlefield or start ruling for the first time.
