“TL;DR version: OK game, good for one playthrough, but replayability isn't really there. Worth it on sale, probably not at full price. I'll keep this mostly to a "shorthand" pros and cons, since I could yap about the…”
“It's a nice mix of 4x + Colony Sim, but for EA the updates are pretty weak and the state of the game very subpar There's apparent lack of depth, rough edges and incomplete systems, with no updates to follow those up.…”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The City-Builder I’ve Been Waiting For! I have spent countless hours in the city-building genre, but Kingdoms Reborn is easily one of my favorites in years. It takes the best elements of classics like Banished and…”

“"Kingdoms Reborn" is one of my favorite city builder games of this type and it has something very calm and addictive about it, which makes it really easy to just relax and zone out while building your city without much…”
“A single building of a bridge almost destroyed a friendship because it was built without consensus of the group. I regret nothing. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Very fun game. Basically the sequel to Banished with added features. Very fun and multiplayer capable. My wife and I will be playing for a long while.”

“This is honestly a pretty chill management game once you learned it enough. Perhaps the only "boring" part is attacking/defending since it's basically just watching cards battle. I do hope there'll be more additional…”
“Very fun to play with friends! Hoping to see more ways to attack land and take sections from people and better AI but where it is now is very promising and cant wait to see what future updates have in store! I will be…”
“A wonderful city builder with amazing multiplayer options! Absolutely scratches the cooperative itch, and I'd imagine the competitive options are fun too. Only looking forward to further development!”

“I'm a longtime lover of the Civilization series and decided to give Kingdoms Reborn a try while I wait for Civ 7's major update (Test of Time) to come out. I'm so glad I did. Kingdoms Reborn is a wonderfully intuitive…”
“I genuinely love this game. The music, the atmosphere, and the visual identity are outstanding. It feels unique. Building up your empire is incredibly satisfying, and simply looking at what you have created is rewarding…”

“27 years ago my second ever city builder was Pharoah by Impression Games. It had everything this game has plus so much more. The graphics are nice but gameplay is rather lacklustre & a bit boring so only recommending…”

“This is a fast moving game which constantly tempts one to expand rapidly , but penalizes if expansion outstrips available resources. Balance becomes more challenging as the community expands.”
“I'd like to start by saying I'm very bias, and that I will give my honest take on this game. The game is vast, really vast in fact, in terms of world building, technology, resources, and diplomacy. The way the game is…”

“The dutchy still sucks. Honestly its like the dev is exclusively making the game for the try hard sweat lords in discord. 1 year and the only update was a new map type that nerfs farming and buffs disease.”
“It took over a year for the most recent update which "reworked" the dutchy making it even worse than before and adding a harder "gamemode" which was only requested by a handful of people in their discord. The "rework"…”

“Game is good but it really needs workshop for mod support. Mod support would allow fans to add their own factions, balance the game and so much more.”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“I think its time I finally review this game since I've had it since November 4th, 2020 and I with no doubt in my mind would rate this game in my top ten. The game has gone through a lot of development, some things are not perfect mind you and the game can be quite hard to learn…”
— a player, Steam review · 361 hrs played“Not sure where the development for this has been going, other than that who ever is leading it is doing so into the drain. I'm not sure how Apocolypse mode finishes the core game, or alleviates the issues with it. I'm not sure how a visual rework of Duchy (The worst faction)…”
