Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Dadi Kingdom will start in Early Access as soon as the technical workflow and the core mechanics are running stably. This phase is used to test the foundation under live conditions while the quests and events already in place are expanded for the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently, 6 to 18 months are planned. The timeframe depends on how quickly the remaining implementations are completed and the technical stability for the full version is achieved.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is fully planned and will contain significantly more quests and in-game events. Technically, the full integration of Live Link Face motion capture for realistic MetaHuman animations as well as support for macOS (M1/M2/M3), VR, and consoles (PlayStation and Xbox) will be implemented.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The basic mechanics are running stably. At the moment, final videos and trailers are still missing. The quests are already in place and will be continuously expanded and completed during the Early Access phase.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access version is available at a reduced price in order to honor early support for the project. When the full version is reached and all quests, events, and final technical features have been implemented, the price will be increased once for the final release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The exchange with the players is a fixed part of the completion process. Through the Discord server and the Steam forums, a direct channel for technical feedback, bug reports, and specific suggestions for the expansion of quests and events will be provided. I personally review this feedback and incorporate it directly into the prioritization of upcoming updates in order to ensure that the full version meets the expectations of the players.”

About This Game

Imagine Gothic meets Zelda – but you can kill anyone and must fight to survive

You are the king. Not some kind, just ruler. You are the king. You can literally kill anyone – the annoying advisor, the beggar outside the castle, even the priest. But here's the twist: Dadi Kingdom forgets nothing. Every execution, every verdict, every act of mercy permanently reshapes your realm. Your reputation precedes you. Factions turn against you. Story paths open or slam shut. And the decision you make today? It catches up with your grandchildren. This isn't your average RPG – this is a singleplayer survival RPG where your decisions echo across generations.

Your Kingdom. Your Decisions. Your Downfall.

Behind every great king is an even greater budget plan. Through the central upgrade menu, you control the future of your realm – and every investment counts:

  • Build Your Empire: City walls or taverns? Defense or prosperity? You decide where every gold coin goes – and whether your people love you for it or show up at your gates with torches. Every investment visibly transforms your game world.

  • Factions – Your Best Friends and Worst Enemies: The Church wants gold. The Mages want arcane herbs. Both can make you powerful – or destroy you. Stop paying the Church? Story paths close. Ignore the Mages? Say goodbye to your most powerful bonuses. This is not a side system – this is the system.

Dadi Kingdom Dungeon

  • At Night, the Kingdom Belongs to the Bandits: By day, you collect taxes. By night, bandits try to take it all back. Your entire strategy can collapse in a single night. Welcome to the hardcore part.

  • Global Online Scoreboard: How many days does your dynasty survive? The leaderboard doesn't lie. What matters here isn't who has the biggest sword – it's who makes the smartest decisions. Or has the most luck.

Your Dynasty Outlives You – With All Your Mistakes

In most games, death means game over. In Dadi Kingdom, that's when things truly begin. Your heir takes the throne – and inherits everything: your gold, your enemies, your ruined reputation. Good kings build dynasties. Bad kings build them too – theirs just don't last as long.

  • Marriage & Succession: Find a partner, start a family, raise heirs. Every descendant starts with the consequences of your reign. Your grandchildren will pay for your sins – quite literally.

  • A World That Doesn't Want You Alive

    The throne room is just the beginning. Outside awaits an open world full of dangers, secrets, and questionable choices:

    • Brutal Fantasy Combat: Dark mages, skeleton hordes, primitive lizardfolk – the action combat is fast, savage, and unpredictable. No quick-save will rescue you here.

    • Minigames with a Thrill: Risk it all in Knife Roulette, gamble your last gold in Beggar Games, or take a breather with Fishing – right before the next crisis hits.

    • Quests & Exploration: Villages, dark forests, forgotten ruins – every corner of the map holds loot, stories, and danger. Everything you find feeds directly into the strength of your realm.

What You Get

  • Total Freedom of Choice: Kill any NPC in the game – but every death permanently changes the world.

  • Deep Kingdom Management: Invest gold, build, develop – and watch your realm rise or fall.

  • Cross-Generational Dynasty: Your death is not the end – your heir fights on with all your baggage.

  • Faction System with Real Consequences: Church and Mages are not decoration – they decide between war and peace.

  • Global Leaderboard: Compete with players worldwide – who leads the longest dynasty?

  • Action-RPG Combat: Fast, brutal real-time combat against fantasy creatures.

  • Living Open World: Quests, minigames, exploration – always something to do, always something to lose.

  • Day-Night Survival: Rule by day, fight for survival by night.
