Kingmakers is an upcoming action-strategy sandbox game developed by Redemption Road Games and published by tinyBuild. The game is scheduled to be released through early access in 2024 for Windows.[2]
Kingmakers is set in medieval Great Britain in 1400AD.[3] The player assumes the role of an elite task force operator, transported 500 years back in time to said area to avert a future apocalypse.[4] Depending on player choices, they can fight for England, Scotland or Wales, and ultimately change the course of human history with multiple possible endings.[5]
Kingmakers is a third-person sandbox game with action and strategy elements.[6] The player can switch between a third-person shooter mode and a top-down strategy mode. In the shooter mode, the player can use modern weapons and vehicles such as assault rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, armored cars, and helicopters to fight against medieval enemies. Meanwhile, in the strategy mode, the player can command their own army of medieval units such as cavalry, archers, and swordsmen.[7] The player can also customize their army with different banners, colors, and formations. The game features a campaign that allows the player to influence the outcome of the war and the history of England. The game also supports co-op mode for up to four players, where each player can control their own army.[8]
