Kingdom New Lands/Two Crowns (PC, iOS, Bone, Switch coming) - The Bear and Badger

Also, the last section is the only time the framerate takes a hit. Big time towards the end.

Noticeable pause at the start of each day, and it drops generally a few times with dudes and lighting effects on screen.

Given there's no hit detection required, it doesn't matter that much.

I think I'd just gotten to world 3 before I left on holiday. Looking forward to going back and finishing it. It's a good relaxing game to play.

So expansion for New Lands turned into a standalone game. Two Crowns. Local Co-op and other stuff added, due next year.

Excite.

Coop would be a good way to spend an afternoon

Facewon

Just invite yourself over, then. You cheeky scamp.

Facewon

75% off on bundle stars for this. FYI.

Facewon

And now 70% off on steam.

Facewon

So classic was free and new Lands is on sale again. With free dlc on steam.

Trying classic at the moment. Interesting so far. Slightly different costs, slightly different mechanics around the merchant.

Good times.

Facewon

Ouch. They definitely rebalanced some stuff for new Lands.

The attack I copped around day 24 in classic was quite a fucking thing.

Facewon

Sup, gwg people?

Game Pass in fact, get it right face man

FranticPea

Facewon in fact, get it right man.

Facewon

Now all of that's clear, everyone play this.

Olimite

We will in April when it becomes available.

Olimite

Just to say I love this. So far the best offering this month on Game Pass. I am utterly useless, but I have just had my best run, lasting beyond day XV.

Will have to read through this to take some hints in. Funniest game was the second when I didn't know the portal could randomly spawn and built up the right hand side only for them to stroll in on the left!!

Facewon

I'm so all over this asap.

Local co op makes my day.

Facewon

Bought. I guess the main bit of news is I actually paid full price on steam. Woah.

ShabbyMcCrabby

Is this a sequel or expansion?

Facewon

Sequel. Co op.

Will be giving it a bash tonight. Will report back.

i played a bit of this (two crowns) via game pass over chrimbo. initially i really liked the simple mechanics, but then got frustrated by it and after a couple of restarts went right off it.

Facewon

What went wrong on the restarts? I'm now a fair way in and see what they've done.

I'd call it a great starting point now for new players. They've smoothed out the progress.

Although I maybe wrong as I'm not sure what's happening early for folks around dying. Maybe they're only seeing the same rudimentary bits.

For those who've knowledge of the first couple, it's easy to progress to next area, while seeing hints of what's to come.

Spoiler:

.

Pace is still glacial.

Graphics are refined but the same. A touch more detail in trees and water and the background and weather effects are a little more purdy.

RamSteelwood

Basically just kept getting stuck with no money and nobody earning any, and at that point the only option is to start again. Subsequent goes i seemed to hit that wall even sooner...no doubt due to me trying to expand too quick. Perhaps I was doing it wrong focusing on building ever bigger bases rather than just hopping to other islands asap, but then the absolute lack of any instructions doesn't help there. initially i thought it was interesting working stuff out yourself but then just got miffed at wasting resources working stuff out as I went.
I guess it's the 'rogue-like' nature of the game, it's not really my thing. I don't mind dying/learning as you go so much, but with this the lack of tactical options, the inability to sell something or re-assign a role etc., means that one wrong move and you have to start your game again from scratch to change it.

Facewon

Yeah, makes sense.

That was the criticism of the first couple.

I'll check the OP, as I think I wrote a fair bit about the basics of the other games.

But to give you some clarity.....

Massive expansion isn't the aim early.....

Getting your boat built is the real aim.

As far as building bases goes, you only really need 1 extra wall on each side for whatever vendor it opens. That's it.

Be careful chopping trees. Don't chop the tree next to the caravan tent, don't chop the tree next to camps of peasants. Otherwise they disappear.

Once those basics are down, they have created some new ways to keep money ticking.

Facewon

Interesting. I died, but it restarted me at my first area again. I think I know what triggers it.

WorKid

This can be played solo I take it?

Facewon

Absolutely.

tigersgogrrr

I quite liked the first and then suddenly bounced off it. I think the aesthetics are wonderful but the actual game irritated me after a few deaths.

Still.

I might take a punt on this.

Facewon

If death isn't complete restart anymore then it's a game changer.

Howdy, Stranger!
