Expansion of Gameplay with New Monarchs
In a remarkable turn of events, the early access title 9 Kings has successfully captured the attention of strategy enthusiasts since its launch earlier this year. Developed by Sad Socket, the game’s innovative approach to combining card mechanics with unit and building upgrades has proven to be a winning formula. Even skeptics of the deckbuilding genre, like Fraser Brown, have found themselves drawn in, praising the brisk pace and simplicity of the mechanics while also noting the depth that lies beneath the surface. “Runs are brisk, the mechanics are simple, but there’s actually a whole lot to dig into,” he remarked in August, adding, “And honestly, I just love watching my pixel-sized troops going to war.”
Despite its many strengths, 9 Kings faced a curious shortcoming—an apparent oversight in its title. Until recently, players had access to only eight kings, leaving the game short of its namesake. This peculiar gap in the roster has now been addressed, much to the delight of its player base. After all, a game titled 9 Kings should ideally feature nine monarchs to rule over its strategic realms.
To celebrate the addition of the ninth king, the game is currently available at a promotional price of 55% off, reducing the cost to just (£8), which translates to a mere dollar per king. This enticing offer is set to last until October 23, providing an excellent opportunity for both new players and returning fans to dive deeper into the kingdom-building experience.
