March of the Kingdom is a party-based auto-battler roguelite where you assemble a party of heroes, equip them with weapons, artifacts and relics, place them on the field, and then watch the battle play out on its own in a 2.5D pixel world.
You start each run by choosing a party of 3 heroes from a roster of distinct classes, each with their own stats, scaling and starting abilities. Equip your party and set out across a branching map composed of 15 regions, each with their own creatures, items and challenges.
Your heroes act on their own; they will move, target, and trigger their gear automatically. Your influence comes from the builds you brought and the calls you make in the moment: pause the action to read the board, select a hero and point them at a specific enemy or use a consumable to heal them up or give them a boost.
Items are the core of the game. Heroes can wield melee, ranged and magic weapons which will scale according to their strengths, with a rarity system that will increase the stats and might give extra bonuses. Artifacts on heroes will provide stat boosts or abilities which they'll trigger throughout the battles that will change the flow of the fight. Gather artifacts that will grant effects throughout the adventure, enabling new advantages throughout the run. This variety makes each run feel unique, with new combinations discovered every time you play.
It all plays out in a distinctive 2.5D presentation: hand-made pixel sprites standing up inside a tilted 3D world, with real depth, biome-specific ground and decorations.
