Kingshot

A collapsing medieval kingdom is the backdrop for Kingshot, an idle survival strategy game from Century Games PTE. LTD. A rebellion has toppled a dynasty and left the land in chaos, and the player steps in as a governor charged with keeping one town alive and rebuilding from there.

Much of the game is about managing people. Survivors are assigned roles such as workers, hunters and chefs, and the player watches their health and happiness to keep them productive, reacting quickly when illness spreads. At the same time the town must be defended: invasions can hit at any moment, so resources go toward upgrading defences and preparing for battle. Both internal decisions and diplomacy shape how the town recovers.
