About This Game

Crown a King. Kill theirs. Break the game doing it.

Kingslayers is a turn-based tactics roguelite. Build a team from 10 classes, crown one of them King, and fight your way across a branching map of battles, shops, bosses and strange encounters. Every win hands you new traits, items and augments that combine in some ridiculous ways. A few build ideas:

  • A reincarnating Dragon that gets stronger each time it dies, shooting out fireballs on death that deal max health true damage. Build your whole team around reviving this one immortal unit.
  • A Rogue with 100% dodge chance that throws a grenade at the enemy team on each dodge.
  • A Hunter that scales exponentially for each portal her shots have passed through during the run.
  • Or an Archer who rains down lightning and orbital lasers...

The Archer seems kind of problematic... More testing required

Singleplayer- Relax and Enjoy the ride

Theory-craft and min-max to your heart's content in this chill mode. See how high you can climb in the ascension ranks, or just chase the strangest build you can think of. There are thousands waiting to be found.

Multiplayer- A turn based game where speed and reaction time actually matters.

The multiplayer is designed for fast-paced, chaotic action. You and your opponent will traverse an identical run and meet at different stages to showcase your builds and outwit each other. This isn't your regular turn-based strategy - speed, quick decisions, and quick reactions are going to play a major part in you climbing to the top of the rankings.

So get on in here and enjoy the theory-crafting, minigames and wacky characters. We need you to stop the wizard space snakes as they psychically control bipedal creatures and use them as pawns in their yearly death tournament (or ignore the lore and just slay some kings).

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Kingslayers has been in development for about six years, and the multiplayer game with all 10 characters was playable before generative AI existed.

Human-made: everything purchasable, all playable units, all VFX, the story, character abilities, the menu theme and artwork, about 90% of the voice acting and most card artwork.

AI-generated: encounter images, some music, some boss and snake models, and the remaining voice lines and card art.

I’m replacing the AI elements over the coming months and will update this list as I go.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mild fantasy violence
