About the game
You are sent back to medieval England, in 1403, with modern guns and vehicles. Battles run in real time with thousands of soldiers. You can switch between third-person shooting and giving orders to your troops. You also build up a base and collect resources to unlock stronger gear.
Up to four players can play online, and the maker says friends can join or leave a running game. Each of you leads your own army. As a group you lay siege to enemy castles, or hold your own strongholds when attackers arrive. You can also play solo.
Kingmakers is not out yet and has no release date, so everything here comes from the maker and from previews. The premise is absurd, with modern guns against swordsmen.
