[Toronto, Canada] July 15, 2024 — Reverie World Studios proudly announces that Renaissance Kingdom Wars is now available in Early Access on Steam. This title marks the first collaboration between Reverie World Studios and publishing platform indie.io, promising a refined experience that showcases the studio's nearly twenty years in strategy game design. Set against the backdrop of the Renaissance—one of history’s most transformative eras—Renaissance Kingdom Wars delivers gameplay that's quick to pick up, yet rich with hidden complexities.
Play Renaissance Kingdom Wars on Steam now.
Opening in 1510, players start their campaign as a condottiere in the employ of a European monarch. Directed by their liege, players will travel across varying landscapes - from frozen tundra to naval passages - carving out their own domain and challenging rival kings of Europe for ultimate domination. This journey naturally evolves from intense RTS battles involving thousands of men and machines, to city building, management, and diplomatic negotiations.
The Renaissance period marked an explosion of art, innovation, and economic growth, leading to new technology. Mirroring this expansive era, Renaissance Kingdom Wars transforms the battlefield over time, with weaponry becoming more sophisticated… and deadly. Spears give way to pikes, trebuchets evolve into cannons, and knights are replaced by cavalrymen. With gunpowder on the rise, the battlefield shifts from a medieval slaughterhouse to even bloodier horrors.
Shares Konstantine Fomenko, Producer/Design Director of Reverie World Studios, “Renaissance Kingdom Wars is our dream game brought to life with indie.io's expert help. We’ve embraced a retro art style, blending grand strategy, RTS, town-building, and rogue-like elements into a real-time world. Our goal is to provide players with an authentic Renaissance experience that defies the generic. We hope you join us on this journey, and we thank you for supporting our small indie team."
Players can look forward to several developments to come:
Additional Nations: Each with distinct units and art styles, enhancing gameplay variety and depth.
Enhanced Features: Focus on trade and banking systems—key forces during the Renaissance—alongside expanded diplomacy and a complex religious system.
Expanded Storytelling: New quests and storylines that will delve deeper into the historical context, providing an immersive experience that transcends typical RTS narratives.
Community-Driven Development: Reverie World Studios is committed to listening to player feedback, and continuously improving and evolving the game together with its community.
