Kingmakers official announcement trailer - A medieval strategy game...with a twist

[FLUXCapacitor]

I just came across this. It was announced a few hours ago. Developed in UE5. It looks pretty normal until the :25 second mark, then things get a little interesting 😂

Laughed my ass off when I saw this on twitter looks fun

 

[SirKai]

Darkest of Days stays winning. This unironically looks pretty fucking cool, especially as it offers co-op. I'm so in.

 

[septentrion2]

making the "i" in "KINGMAKERS" a sword but not turning the "r" into a gun was a huge missed opportunity.

 

[Horns]

Kind of interested in this. This game was made for my childhood imagination.

 

[The GOAT]

It looks surprisingly awesome? Haha. Will give it a go!

[Kschreck]

lol reminds me of Army of Darkness. Added it to my wishlist. Looks different and fun.

 

[DarthMasta]

How was this not a thing already?

Also, can you say "THIS is my BOOMstick" or "Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart?"

 

[nsilvias]

if people in that world dont refer to this gun holding dude as a sorcerer or witch or some shit they will have failed

 

[pillowtalk]

I've thought about this ever since after seeing braveheart in theaters. What if william wallace and his friends had guns

 

[Klyka]

hilarious lol

It looks like an insane Mount and Blade mod and I'm all for it.

 

[kmfdmpig]

It reminds me of a book, 1632, which I read a few years ago. It's about modern people getting transported back to, unsurprisingly, 1632.

 

[HStallion]

Ok this looks like a lot of fun. Something about a guy driving a beat up pickup truck around a medieval battlefield running over knights just speaks to me.

 

[The Gold Hawk]

Looks like those Ultimate Epic Battle games (or whatever they're called)

Could be fun.

God, I think I remember reading one of those like 20 years ago.

There's a Joe Abercrombie series about post apocalyptic vikings where a wizard's wand is just a Magnum

 

[Avis]

Mount and Glock

 

[Noisepurge]

get it out now to capitalize on the buckling Helldivers servers to catch that audience!

GATE: The Game

 

[Aselith]

For thos mentioning similar books:

A book series similar to this taking place in the Bronze Age is a Island in a Sea of Time series where a whole New England island gets transported back: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_in_the_Sea_of_Time

And the of course the Ray Bradbury classic with dino hunting, Sound of Thunder:

All good stuff

 

[Bengraven]

Oh shit I was already sold on the ridiculous idea of some survivalist going into the past to live out his bizarre fucking fantasy, but the little twist at the end is super interesting.

It look pretty normal until the :25 second mark, then things get a little interesting 😂

Bruh that knight's got a pump action shotgun in the thumbnail. Lol

 

[Bengraven]

Edit : double post. I don't get why my cookies seem to make it seem like another post has appeared when it hasn't.

 

[toomanyalmonds]

This concept always gets me. It really highlights just how ridiculous guns are and the power unbalance they cause.

 

[CHC]

That trailer goes fucking HARD

 

[Don Fluffles]

Modern gaming Isekai. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes another Palworld sleeper hit out of nowhere.

Also shout out to being able to drive truck-kun.

[Hu3]

🤣🤣🤣 I need to play this, my god what the hell

 

[Deleted member 61531]

Aside from the cute concept, this game is giving me Kingdom Under Fire vibes, big time.

I'll keep an eye out.

 

[carlsojo]

Lmao what the fuck

 

[Perzeval]

There' a freakin' gun in the thumbnail

 

[Mesoian]

I was wondering when someone was going to make Gate: the videogame.

It looks neat, I wish it had a bit more style.

 

[Dracil]

This is kinda like the Gate anime (fantasy world invades Japan, gets crushed and reverse conquered because fantasy medieval tech vs modern army)

[TheDutchSlayer]

So this trailer looks amazing and I want to play it but have you all seen the dev who is making this?

soooo yeah we will see :D

 

[MadJosh04]

Day fucking 1

 

[Fawz]

Besides the fun combination, the amount of active units on screen for a game of this perspective is quite impressive. Helps that it's hybrid RTS-3rd person shooter I guess. I'm interested

 

[Pancracio17]

Dude this looks unironically really interesting. Mowing down legions of enemies like dynasty warriors with modern equipment while still controlling units the tactics mode. Im super down.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Okay, this looks very fun!

[CheapJi]

Reminds me of that one game where you time travel and have modern and even futuristic weapons in wars throughout history. I don't really recall the name. Looks fun.

When I say I've always thought about this, especially after Black Knight with Martin Lawrence, I mean it.

DAMN, I read that when I was like 11 in the 90's, completely forgot about it until reading the title now! I remember being amazed and terrified by the implications of time travel because of that book! Gonna hunt down a copy tomorrow, 27 years later.

 

[RaphaBE]

Haha, it's highly unlikely that I'll ever play that game, but this was pretty funny. Nearly spilled my drink when the helicopter showed up.

 

[abellwillring]

Brings new meaning to Truck-kun.

 

[olubode]

I eagerly await the West African expansion DLC…

Literally only popped into this thread to make sure someone posted this.



Impressive number of NPC's

[noinspiration]

I was hoping for more Pokemon with guns, but this is also good. Hell, I might actually play this one!

 

[Bebpo]

So is this game a co-op survival horde game with unlocks and progression like unlock a helicopter.

Or is this a sandbox make your own fun thing? Trailer seemed like the latter, which is kind of a shame because I feel like this concept would be super fun as the former. Not really into either genre personally, but would give it a shot with a good gameplay loop.
