GamerScout Verdict
For puzzle fans who want strategy without the spreadsheet, brief, weird, and quietly absorbing if you're patient.
Compare Prices(3 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Kings Under The Hill
I went in expecting a full strategy sim and got something much smaller and weirder instead. Kings Under The Hill is a point-and-click puzzle game where you manage resource-scarce kingdoms through a handful of menu screens and dialogue choices. The mechanics are light, build structures, manage population, make basic trade and diplomacy calls, but the actual puzzle comes from figuring out how to keep your kingdom alive with almost nothing. It's more about learning what each kingdom needs than executing a grand strategy. The game feels like a creative project rather than a polished product, which is fine if you're hunting for something low-pressure and experimental. There's no combat, no real story to chase, just the quiet satisfaction of making two plus two equal survival. Don't expect a tutorial or a clear win state. If you like games that let you tinker and improvise without holding your hand, it's worth a look.
