Clans to Kingdoms Reviews

I didn't like this game, I think it still needs some more work.

Dev claims the game is finished but it still has a lot of issues in the late game. For instance, it takes forever to load a game, and many times the game will freeze on the very next turn forcing you to spend forever yet again trying to load the game. Alliances in late game tend to freeze the game also. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this game at it's current price. It feels more like a game you would play off an app store for a few bucks just to kill time. Will be putting in a refund for this "game".

Attempted to play and there are multiple performance issues. No support or help online. 01/15/21 - Update, I was hoping that after almost a year that patches would've resolved the issues. The issues remain. The most annoying is the poor mouse response and control. A developer had sent me a graphics help guide that didn't help. Still an unplayable game.

The proposition of this game sounded excellent, I really wanted to try it. I thought might really enjoy it even if it was very simple and early access... But I had severe graphical issues from the get go, the mouse control is completely broken, and there is no setting to speed up the scout moviment... To add insult to injury, this game is considered to be released despite having way worse interface than most early access alphas I bought. Sorry, but I'm returning this as soon as I can. Hope by the time this is in version 2.0 it may be close to "release worthy".

Its a pretty boring game so far, just get any of the civ games this is just a basic version of that series without any animations. But if you still get the game then this is what you can expect, limited space to build on as you territory grows with your population and tech level, limited expansions that are counted as outposts and not villages locked to your tech level. You are constantly harrased by a bandit clan and if you dont know how to play you will fall behind in size and forced to restart until you figure out how to best grow while managing your resources. There is supposed to be other ai in this game but i have yet to encounter any over 200 turns on the bigest map size. So far this feels like a unfinished game.

Good game cant understand negative views,its ok,just knowin n learning how too play

Requested a refund (Edit: Steam denied a refund, claiming game has "no evidence that the product has a major defect as defined under law", despite my experience below} CtK is buggy and may trash your display setup, especially it seems if you have integrated Intel chips and/or I guess dual GPUs. I never got to play a single second of the game, but i hope what I say here helps someone else who may encounter the same issues I had. I have spent hours trying to repair the damage this game did to my PC display setup. I had the game auto-setup the graphics, and then went into the game, but the mouse cursor was moving like it was in treacle. So I got out to check internet/forums for a solution - only to find my screen was still the right resolution but shrunk into the center of my monitor, so small it was hard to read. I could write a lot on all the testing and checking, nVidia adjustments, full restarts, only for nothing to change. I think all up I wasted 3 hours, And it was only that short due to a bit of luck. I saw an article mention unrelated but similar screen issue with Intel integrated chipsets, I have an nVidia GPU and checked to my config to realise i had the Intel integrated GPU on the motherboard as well. So I checked my Intel control panel I saw that the scaling setting was set to "Scale Fullscreen". Which I thought sounded normal. But I changed it to "Maintain Aspect Ratio" and voila, my monitor returned to normal fullscreen desktop. So I did a test, and despite CtK using nVidia, it also modified the Intel chipset setting in your registry and trashed the screen, and doesn't return the setting back! I kept the Intel control panel open while i went in and out of Clans, and I literally watched it change it back to the wrong setting. So even though it doesn't use the Intel chip for the game, it modifies its setting and forgets to change it back. Talk about a bug. I will never ever play this game again in this clearly bugged state, and seeing it was written in 2019 with no bug fixes since, its obviously abandoned by developer. So my advice is to steer clear. And I never did or will get an answer to the "mouse cursor in treacle" problem...

Really nice somewhat casual 4x game with nice micromanagemtn of resource production and buildings. Could use some UI design and fix bugs with the UI as well. Has great potential with some aditional enhancements on map generation and enemy AI!
