What is Kingsway?
This single-player fantasy roguelike RPG takes place in a randomly generated land of monsters, bandits, and other adventurers, with permanent death. You choose a character type, fight enemies, gather treasure, and complete quests through a mock desktop where enemies appear as pop-ups, quests arrive as emails, and items are stored in folders.
For you if...
- +you enjoy fantasy roguelikes with permanent death
- +you like sorting loot through a retro desktop interface
Not for you if...
- −you want complex RPG systems and varied quests
- −you prefer a conventional interface without pop-up management
What players say
92% of 1,722 reviews are positive
