The King is Watching is a roguelite kingdom builder. Defend your castle against ever-challenging waves of enemies. Prioritise production and army training, and make your people prosper under your constant gaze!
Let Them Prosper Under Your Gaze
Your gaze determines which buildings will produce resources. Skillfully balance resource production, troop training, and magic guild. Glance at the wheat fields, and your peasants will start harvesting. Avert your attention to other royal matters, and production will stop. Only you decide how your kingdom will labor, so choose wisely.
Establish Production Chains
Build production chains and acquire the rarest materials to build the strongest buildings and warriors. Trade resources and gather ancient magical knowledge for better protection!
Defend Your Castle
Build a mage guild and start producing spells to help you defend the castle walls. Train knights and archers and improve your defenses. Did we mention that you can produce flour dragons?!
Customize Your Building Experience
Build and customize your building deck to better suit your playstyle and strategy. The game offers a variety of ways to build and defend your kingdom, so experiment to your heart’s content!
