Their animations are simple and somewhat stiff which almost clashes with those of the animals - especially the various mounts that player can utilize, some of which have terrific details, and who command the attention of the player as they prance and gallop around the environment. Compared to their animal brethren, the humans look a bit more dated and unfocused. The only aspect of the visuals which doesn't quite measure up, are those of the various humans who populate the world. Monsters which act like bandits coming for your riches, and eventually your crown, the Greed are going to antagonize players throughout their journey with escalating force, as you continue to master the game and advance further and further towards conquering each of the available lands. Contrasting the majesty of many of the friendly and allied creatures of the world is the vile and grotesque nature of the Greed. The nature of being in closer proximity to the display causes each of those visual qualities to stand out, while playing on a larger display can wash away some of the minutia despite the larger real estate. This is doubly apparent for Switch owners when playing the game undocked. Couple these with the finer details such as the threes swaying in the wind, and how the many layers which make up the foreground and background of the world move and interact with one another and you are left marvelling at the amount of care which went into the visual design here. The animations of the often mystical creatures and animals which inhabit these lands are fluid and majestic which really breathe life into the environments. Even before you are tasked with figuring out Kingdom's puzzle pieces, you will undoubtedly notice the, at times, stunning, visuals. Once players are able to decipher the clues which point to success in Kingdom Two Crowns, they will be able to fully enjoy what this has to offer, and they are especially free to enjoy the fantastic visual design. Even after getting a handle on the initial concepts and goals, additions to either of those categories adds to the complexity of the game, as well as the possibility that most will place themselves into a bind due to poor or uninformed planning. It is easy to meander on the first island as the goal of at hand is not immediately clear. The decision to go with such a minimalist interface will leave some without any sense of direction, or at least an idea of the means which to move forward. This, however, is also where many players may experience their greatest challenge. Adding to this dimension of discovery and careful planning is the newly implemented co-op feature, which allows two players to partner in taking their kingdom to greater heights. Discovering the secret behind each of these variables is what produces most of the initial satisfaction within Kingdom Two Crowns.įinally finding that material which will allow you to take your kingdom to the next level can be downright thrilling, as the tapestry of possibilities continues to unfold with each discovery. Building and expanding are tied to materials, many of which are not even available at the outset of a new campaign, and defending is dependent on a variety of variables such as accumulating more soldiers, greater defensive positions and weapon upgrades. As a result, this is a game which reveals very little about itself, and which keeps many of its mechanics obtuse outside of the game's central mantra of build, expand, and defend. Players are rapidly placed into the driver's seat of establishing their kingdoms, thanks to a minimalist interface which has been popularized by the likes of the 'Souls' series in recent years.
