Kingmakers

Kingmakers is an action-strategy sandbox game developed by Redemption Road Games and published by tinyBuild. Set in 1403, it casts the player as a time traveler sent back into a war-torn medieval Britain to aid Owain Glyndwr's Welsh rebellion, wielding a modern arsenal in a period where swords and shields meet automatic rifles. The core innovation is a seamless hybrid of third-person shooter and real-time strategy: on foot the player fights with firearms and vehicles in modern third-person combat, while a strategy layer lets them build settlements, manage an economy, recruit and arm armies, and march on enemy castles. Both modes interlock in a campaign that can rewrite the course of history, with a branching single-player story and online co-op for up to four players. It entered Early Access on October 8, 2025 for Windows, and its blend of medieval siegecraft with modern firepower drew widespread attention for its large-scale, destructible battles and historically inspired backdrop.
