Kingdom: New Lands Review | Switch Era

Kingdom: New Lands doesn’t hold your hand. You immediately spawn next to a crashed ship and see the ghost of a King or Queen from an era long past. The ghost leads you to a small encampment, quickly — and cryptically — running you through the basic mechanics of the game: spend gold to recruit villagers and make barricades. After that, you’re on your own; there aren’t any lengthy tutorials on what each upgrade does, and nobody tells you about what horrors will be hunting you down each night.
