A nice strategy game, but with some really unbalanced stage at the middle of the game :/ (Still stuck at "Labyrinth" and "Lost")

really need a grey thumb, please Steam !

Kings' Cross is a strategy puzzle game where you lead an army of heros against a monster army.

The game has some amazing art, but the gameplay is not fun. The core mechanics is incredibly basic. Your main interaction with the game is initial unit placement. From there the units will move and attack based on their descriptions, but all of that is automatic.

Each unit has a single upgrade, typically just adding additional damage to a certain class of units. Later in the game you get a few spells, but they are incredibly weak in comparison.

The games art is very atmospheric and I get a real CCG vibe from it, but the gameplay is so balanced it becomes boring. The end product feels more like watching a simulation then playing a game.

Simple but not easy strategy game out of the Azorian universe.


Place your units and let them fight vs. the enemy, consider range vs. melee, physical vs magic, armor, immunity and special attack types to get to a good outcome.

Some levels in the mid stage like the Labyrinth, Lost,... are very hard.
To accomplish these you need to upgrade single unit types or in general your army or learn special skills like lightning or healing.
TIP: Make sure if you really need a unit upgrade for example bonus damage vs undead in a fight vs orcs!?
Also there are not enough points to upgrade everything. Decide what you want. Strong spells or strong units!

Needed 4h four a single playthrough with a wide spread skilltree and without 3 Stars everywhere. For the time, challenge and the art the low price is definitely fair!

3/10 bad
