You start the game out with just a little, run down, poor kingdom. But as you progress through the game, you gather treasure and take over the lands as you build your vast empire to rule over. You get new classes to control over as the game continues. Each class has it's own specailty such as the soldiers which have an increased stregnth in battle, farmers to dig up treasure faster and open up cracks, carpenters for building bridges and stair cases, wood choppers for getting large trees out of your path, and many, many more! This game can easily be compared to Pikmin since it basically has the same format to it. Controls are pretty easy to handle although it can be a pain at certain times. Some examples are they don't go far enough when the enemy is right in front of them so instead of attacking it, they just run back to you. I experienced a really cheap death when I was in a squeezed off area because for some reason my soldiers didn't want to attack so instead I got killed. But beyond a few minor flaws everything is just fine. I had a lot of fun playing this game and I seriously recommend it.

There is only one problem with this game: The controls get in the way of the game. At the beginning, when you aren't fighting a lot of enemies, it's not a big deal. However, it ends up being a huge deal as you get closer to the end. Targeting is terrible as there's really not much fine control or even a "snap" selection.

We really enjoyed the concept of making and bringing different "classes" of citizens - from archers to builders and more. The artwork and illustrations are gorgeous and engaging.

I really, really wanted to love this game, and at the beginning I did. But the game got in the way of itself.
