If you’re looking for a nice way to blow off steam at the end of the day, kingdoms and castles is the game for you. Kingdoms and castles revolves around you building your own kingdom and strategically planning ahead. I swear I spent 6 hours straight just playing and I thought that I’d only played for an hour. Some of the main things that attracted me to kingdoms and castles was its cute poly graphics and just the fact that I could build a massive kingdom. If I had one problem with Kingdoms and Castles it would be that it doesn’t have multiplayer, or at least good multiplayer. I get it would change the game, but I think it would be quite fun to be able to play with your friends and play all day long.
