Simple Lands Online is a fresh addition to the Google Play Store, having recently transitioned from a browser-based game to a mobile platform. This text-based strategy game combines nostalgic old-school elements with contemporary features, offering players a chance to build their empire from the ground up.
In Simple Lands Online, the balance between risk and reward is finely tuned. If an attack fails, players won't lose more than 25% of their forces, allowing them to regroup and strategize without total devastation. Similarly, on the defensive side, losses are capped at 20%, ensuring that even after a hit, players have resources to fall back on. This system encourages thoughtful planning rather than mindless attacks.
Players will command infantry, archers, and cavalry across five distinct regions, where every decision impacts the outcome. The game introduces an espionage system, allowing players to train spies to either steal resources or gather crucial intelligence on opponents. However, the risk of spies getting caught by enemy watchtowers adds an extra layer of strategy.
Starting with minimal resources, players must manage troops, resources, alliances, and rival factions. The focus is on building your empire, researching technology to enhance production, and training units to strengthen your army. Managing your kingdom is as crucial as combat, involving worker assignments, production boosts, and resource optimization.
The game keeps track of your battles through detailed logs, which are invaluable for planning future moves or seeking revenge. Simple Lands Online is free to play and available on the Google Play Store.
What’s Next?
The developers are looking to expand the game with various server types as it grows in popularity. Plans include introducing permanent servers and possibly speed servers. Currently, the game operates on a seasonal basis, ensuring a level playing field with each reset.
Simple Lands Online evokes memories of games like Kingdoms of Chaos, staying true to its name by offering a straightforward gameplay experience that doesn't penalize players for trying new strategies.
