🌍 What Is Kingmakers?
Kingmakers is one of the most wild genre mashups in recent gaming history — blending medieval warfare with modern firearms and technology.
Imagine Mount & Blade meets Call of Duty: you’re thrown into a massive medieval battlefield, but instead of a sword, you can bring an M4 assault rifle, drones, tanks, and even airstrikes.
Developed by Developer Portal (studio behind tactical shooters), the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, promising huge, detailed battlefields with hundreds of AI soldiers on screen at once.
