Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: building, teleporting, editing.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Super Fantasy Kingdom, PC
Super Fantasy Kingdom’s demo is a wonderfully tense experience. It’s a city builder, but it’s also a wave-based survival game – likened by many to Vampire Survivors. That sounds like chaos, and it isn’t. But it is extremely stressful.
At the bottom of the map you reconstruct a village, placing buildings that process materials and using the materials to unlock and place new buildings where the whole thing repeats. Buildings need workers and workers need homes. Placing roads gives you new plots of land to build on. It’s a series of virtuous circles, and learning the points at which these circles intersect is part of the fun.
