One of the most satisfying elements of urban construction games is the absolute control of the people, tasks and execution methods.But it is interesting to note that "The King's Gaze" subverts this core idea - the people you rule are astonishingly lazy and require continuous supervision.

"The King's Gaze" has all the iconic elements of the best urban construction game: it is necessary to manage the resources of the mine farm, help the people prosper, and build fortifications to resist endless enemies (including the hideous dragon).The only problem is: as a reigning monarch, you must always look at your people to maintain production.

Players need to make reasonable arrangements on the limited space grid representing the castle - each grid is placed with specific buildings, some generate practical resources, and some produce peasant soldiers for dispatch or repel siege enemies.Grid priority must be planned ingeniously, as you can get rewards for repelling enemies, which are used to strengthen walls or unlock new investment directions such as magic.

But whenever your line of sight (originally presented in a highlighted L-shaped area) leaves certain squares, production will stagnate and the public will passively slacken.To keep the Kingdom alive in the threat of destruction of goblins, orcs and trolls, you must keep a constant focus on the areas that need supervision the most.

Thankfully, the roguelike mechanism means that even if the kingdom is destroyed, players can learn lessons and revive their momentum through permanent upgrades (such as new abilities and stronger defenses).Multiple kingdoms await your rule, enough to challenge you repeatedly.
