Kingdom Wars 2: Definitive Edition

Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform

Kingdom Wars 2 has been rebuilt from the ground up. The Definitive Edition combines the best aspects of the original - massive engagements, robust crafting, and complex city building - with a new engine, improved graphics, and a redesigned interface for an improved gameplay experience.


Once again, Kingdom Wars 2 focuses on the clash of Humans, Elves, and Orcs. As the war between them intensifies, each begins to recruit from other races: Scurrying Goblins, lumbering Ogres, mighty Minotaurs, ancient Treants, crafty Dwarves, fearsome Skeletal Warriors, and magical Dragons - depending on the alliances, techs, and buildings they pursue.


Experience an epic dark fantasy story in the single player campaign. After the three great races lose favor with the gods, the world is engulfed by total war. Follow their struggle and determine their fates in a mode filled with cinematic moments and additional gameplay elements designed specifically for the campaign.



Each of the great races can recruit a variety of Heroes, capable of bolstering their allies or decimating their foes. Three Orders of Wizards have also aligned themselves with one of the great races, using their vast magical power to shift the course of battle with terrifying Lightning Storms and devastating Blizzards.


Crafting is tied into every aspect of the game. Create new, deadlier siege weapons, unlock new units and buildings, create new game cards for your deck, and research new industrial technologies. Every battle you fight brings new crafting resources, from common Tools and Blueprints to rare Legendary Weapons and Tomes of Magic.


Each of the great races features a unique Tech Tree. Progress down its branches to unlock new options for managing your city, new units and buildings offering new strategies on the battlefield, and special abilities that can turn the tide of the battle.


Cards add a layer of strategic complexity. Your deck can be expanded through crafting, allowing you to summon additional resources during battle, call in reinforcements, or cast magical effects. The right card played at the right time can turn the tide of the battle, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.



Take to the field in vast skirmishes between up to four players (human or AI). First, build up your economy and harvest resources. Then fortify the city and prepare for battles on a massive scale. Choose your troops, craft techs and cards, refining your strategy and play style to ensure that victory is yours.


Experience brutal fantasy sieges. Trebuchets and Dwarven Cannons rip apart foes and walls alike, as Battering Rams smash gates, and infantry storms up Ladders and Siege Towers. Defenders respond with scalding Oil Pots, brutal Spike Traps, and crushing Stone Tippers. Mayhem grows even more with Dragon’s Breath machines setting the battlefield aflame and Grinders carving a bloody path through masses of infantry.



The dead have returned! The undead horde marches towards your settlement, killing all in its path. Everyone they kill soon awakens and turns on you - unless you manage to burn them quickly enough. How long can you survive? Prove your mettle on your own - or invite a friend and face the undead horse with a friend in co-op.


Kingdom Wars 2 includes a robust social component, with an in-game chat helping you to find players, get assistance, and set up battles. It also allows players to join guilds and alliances, show their allegiance and gain extra rewards - and of course, invite friends to battle together in co-op mode or challenge rivals to battle.
