Kingdom World

About Kingdom World

Kingdom World is a side-scrolling action game from NK Labs that dropped on iOS in October 2025. You play as a warrior tasked with slaying monsters to save a kingdom. The core loop revolves around runs where you dodge obstacles, slash enemies, and collect coins to spend at the Market. Upgrade weapons like a fireball staff or a sword, then tackle stronger foes in procedurally generated levels. The game blends single-player runs with multiplayer modes where you team up or compete. It’s a straightforward, fast-paced arcade brawler with a focus on progression and weapon variety. Best for players who enjoy quick bursts of action and incremental upgrades.

Gameplay

Each run in Kingdom World starts with a sprint through levels filled with enemies, traps, and collectibles. You swipe or tap to move, jump, and attack, with combo systems rewarding precise timing. Coins drop after kills, which you use between runs to buy better gear at the Market. Multiplayer lets you team up for co-op runs or battle for coin hoards. Upgrades like speed boosts or crit damage change how you approach each session. The bestiary tracks every monster you’ve slain, giving context to your progress. Runs last 3, 5 minutes, but grinding for upgrades and perfecting weapon builds adds long-term depth. Controls are responsive but require quick reflexes.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Kingdom World 4.3/5, with 72% completing the base story. Average playtime is 11 hours, though 40% of players hit 20+ hours chasing full weapon upgrades. Community moods lean excited (68%) and competitive (22%), with some frustration over grind intensity. Review snippets: “Weapon variety keeps runs fresh” and “Multiplayer feels tacked on.” Completion rate for the bestiary is 55%, with 30% hitting all 50+ achievements. Critics praise the “snappy combat” but note “shallow story.”

PlayPile's Take

Kingdom World is a solid pick for mobile action fans who like incremental upgrades. It’s $3.99 on iOS, with 52 achievements tied to weapon mastery and boss slays. The game shines in short sessions but struggles to hold attention long-term. Multiplayer adds replayability but feels underdeveloped. If you crave fast combat and don’t mind grinding for upgrades, it’s worth the price. Skip if you prefer deep narratives or complex mechanics.
