![]() ![]() The entire game can be played with no more than three buttons and the UI is incredibly bare to keep things streamlined. These additional elements slowly introduce themselves, but it never stops Kingdom from remaining simple in a good way. It’s a prime example of show don’t tell, and it’s great that Kingdom Two Crowns pulls it off so well. Then after repeated play sessions on islands you’ll be able to engage with all of these elements in the most efficient way possible. You’ll unlock the ability to recruit knights, and by observing them and spending time just playing the game you’ll soon understand how they function. There’s no in-game description of what they do or tutorial of how to engage with them.
