There is this game that has been on my personal radar for a looooong time. Years in fact. I mean, its been two years since the first demo of the game was playable on Tacticon 2023. And the first good demo that kinda really showed the games potential and a lot of new features was released mid 24. I remember starting up the demo, found it totally random while browsing the rogue-lite category on Steam for a new City building rogue-lite/roguelike game to dabble with, and not understanding any thing almost(yes I was tired A. F.). Then over the next dayz, my friends were back on a DayZ(got the pun?) craze and I put the demo away. It wasn’t untill months later i rediscovered it in my library and gave it a proper go. and MAN I was amazed. I could not stop, restarting the run, doing a bit better every time. But the demo still stopped me waaay to soon, heh. And now! In just two days time (24 Oct, 2025) this gem of a unique City builder roguelite game is having a full Early access release!
Steam
Super Fantasy Kingdom is a roguelite city-builder where you rebuild and defend a ruined kingdom against nightly monster raids. The game is a mix of city-building, strategy, and autobattler combat, with the goal of surviving each night while growing stronger for the next “run”.
Key gameplay elements include:
- Day and night cycle: During the day, you gather resources, construct buildings, and recruit units. When night falls, hordes of monsters attack your kingdom, requiring you to defend it.
- Roguelite progression: When your defenses eventually fail, your kingdom is destroyed, but you carry over key discoveries to the next run. This allows you to unlock new guardians, heroes, and other strategic options to make each subsequent attempt stronger.
- Strategic choices: You must make important decisions about resource management, building placement, and unit recruitment. Resources and building locations are randomized with each run, forcing you to adapt your strategy.
- Recruiting heroes: You can find and recruit a wide variety of units, such as vampires, halfling slingers, and dinosaurs, to create a unique and powerful team of defenders.
- Tactical combat: While city-building is the focus, the combat is an autobattler, where your heroes automatically defend the kingdom based on your strategic choices.
- Uncovering the story: The game’s story is revealed in small parts as you progress through different runs, providing more context for why the world resets.
