Tactical roguelike Kingdom Loop planed for Nintendo Switch 2
Ultimate Games, along with RootGame, have announced Kingdom Loop for Nintendo Switch 2. The game will follow after the PC release during the first half of 2026.
Kingdom Loop is a strategic roguelike with deckbuilding that takes place in a medieval fantasy world. It blends elements inspired by titles like Loop Hero with classic turn-based strategy.
For further details, read the following overview:
Lead heroes in a battle for the Grail as humans and undead clash in a strategic quest filled with deckbuilding, kingdom management, and evolving turn-based combat.
Silence swept over the world as church bells faltered, their echo devoured by the grave’s unsettling stir. The ancient prophecy foretold that once the Grail was found, death would vanish and a new era for humankind would begin. But when it happened, people who had passed away turned into the living dead. Panic spread: humans begged heroes to find the Grail again and restore the old order, while the undead refused to leave and prepared to claim the Grail for themselves.
Key Features
- Choose a hero to lead a quest for the Grail. A hero from the opposing faction will stand in your way. Each faction offers a unique playstyle, and every hero unlocks new abilities and alternative paths to victory.
- Travel along the ring-shaped road around the Grail Temple. You decide what awaits on your path, with over 200 tiles offering unique effects. With each lap, enemies grow stronger, encouraging you to evolve your strategies and discover new combinations and rewards. Embrace the challenge as an opportunity for growth and chase mastery rather than fear failure.
- Kingdom Building: The lands surrounding the Grail Temple are desolate, waiting to be claimed. Gather resources from forests and mountains, build fortresses to recruit troops, destroy enemy strongholds, discover powerful tile combinations, and more. But beware: the stronger you become, the more fiercely your enemies will try to stop you.
- Deckbuilding: You’ll need cards to place tiles. Cards can be earned in battle or purchased with gold. Shops only offer cards from your deck, and each lap, you can add one random card. A carefully built deck ensures you always have the right tools for victory.
- Mighty Armies: Each faction features over 20 units. Every unit has unique abilities, while heroes and their equipment can make your army even more deadly.
- Turn-Based Battles: Engage in fast-paced turn-based combat. Decide which units to bring, how to position them, and which targets to strike – every choice shapes the outcome of the battle.
- Clash of Heroes: Your hero’s stats empower your army, while the enemy hero strengthens their forces. You must not only grow stronger yourself but also find ways to weaken your opponent. Equipment and artifacts grant powerful bonuses and unique effects – use them to their full potential to achieve victory.
