9 Kings

8 / 10.0

9 Kings is a shining example of what a truly authentic indie game should look like. Sad Socket brings us a fresh strategic mix that will draw you in and never let you go. Despite the occasional frustration caused by the vagaries of chance and a slight lack of clarity in the later stages of battles, you’ll keep coming back for another dose of gaming joy. Exploring fresh synergies between rulers and building an invincible kingdom on just a handful of squares is, quite simply, dangerously addictive. If you’re looking for a game that you can start playing for twenty minutes with a clear conscience, only to find yourself unwittingly spending the whole night on it, you’ve just found it.
