Imagine a game where you travel through time, fire from tanks, bombard a medieval kingdom, and clash with knights — that’s the premise of Kingmakers, a strategy and shooter title. During tinyBuild Connect, it was revealed that the game will launch in Early Access on October 8 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. A new trailer also showcased modern firepower amidst medieval chaos, making this an indie hit you definitely don’t want to miss.
One moment, you’re shooting enemies in third-person; the next, you’re issuing orders to your army, building fortifications, or planning attacks from a bird’s-eye view. Beyond conquering castles solo, Kingmakers offers cooperative multiplayer, allowing up to four players to team up and take down enemy strongholds. Vehicles like armored SUVs and motorcycles add a touch of absurdity, letting you mow down knights as if in a medieval GTA.
For four years, Redemption Road Games, a 20-person studio based in Atlanta and Los Angeles, has been working on this title, drawing inspiration from games like Mount & Blade, Chivalry, and Deep Rock Galactic. In their Steam dev blogs, they highlight the game’s artificial intelligence and how they’re pushing the Unreal Engine to its limits. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are expected to follow once Kingmakers officially leaves Early Access.
