I posted 1 post about it in a thread I can't remember, why didn't you just read that?

It's an awesome sidescrolling kingdom builder game. I bought it on PC before the new lands upgrade and accidentally played like 7 hours of it the first night. New Lands is just a bigger version of that with more stuff and I did the same playtime thing on the xbox release

New Lands is the subtitle for the updated version of the game, it was just called Kingdom until a month ago, so you might have more luck finding impressions looking under that title.
It's a solid game. A little obtuse to learn some of the mechanics at first, but if you stick with it, it's worth playing. Haven't tried this update yet though, that was my only complaint, it can feel a bit merciless to new players. Maybe they explained it more. If you do end up getting frustrated early game after enough time I'd suggest looking up a few things that confuse you, once I did the game clicked.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch/read anything about the game before you try it.
Half the fun in this game is to discover how things work.
Amazing little gem, btw.
thanks, I'll go into the trial cold

nah newlands is good about this stuff. I played the original PC version too, but new lands basically has the difficulty increase as you move around different islands. The starting land is pretty tame regarding threats, and lets you get a grasp of the mechanics at a pretty slow pace if you choose

Watched the BaerTaffy playthroughs on YouTube. Very entertaining.
I'm not a PC gamer, so although I feel I'm missing out, I still had a good time watching Baer work through things. :}

Saw this pop out in the Switch store. Sounds interesting... should I give it a try ?
I half bought the Switch for this. I ADORE this game. Great retro graphics, easy as pie controls (three buttons: Left, Right, Up), but married with deep strategic gameplay.

Was also about to buy this but saw that it is unplayable on the Switch on the latter half of the game. Devs have not yet patched it AFAIK.
They have not, they're working on it though.
It'll be one of the easiest recommendations on the Switch when that patch hits imo. The core game is really great it's just marred with technical issues.
Damn, did not know. That's crazy given that the iPad version and the PC version run smoothly. The hell, why would it have framerate issues for?

Sorry about that, was unaware of the frame rate issue.

Will insta-buy once it gets patched, thanks for the info.
It sounds like the developers thought the same and didn't thoroughly test it beyond the first couple of islands (although personally, I had massive framerate drops even on the second island) so never caught the issues before releasing it.
