About Who Wants To Be King?!

Start with a small settlement and grow it into a functioning medieval city.

  • Construct buildings to produce resources.
  • Keep your city running by connecting buildings to roads, assigning workers, and protecting them from Viking raids.
  • Expand your settlement to strengthen your economy, defenses, and chances of survival.

When the Vikings arrive, you step onto the battlefield.

  • Fight in real-time action combat.
  • Recruit soldiers and command them during battle.
  • Position your units strategically to protect your city and key buildings.

If your Castle Core is destroyed, your run ends.
