Westward Kingdoms

Not long ago the Westward Series was continued by Sandlot Games. As a result, time management players are able to continue improving of their building skills with the new free download game - Westward Kingdoms.

The new title has carried over the game charm and challenging gameplay from the previous installments. Still, there are tons of new additions to the game, which makes it all more interesting. The gameplay became more flexible, so you can easily change worker’s or soldier’s category when they gain enough skills. At first sight, this twist looks tiny there but if you once upgrade those characters, you will see how useful this feature can be. Most of the tasks and quests are humorous. Nevertheless, some of them can be frustrating. From time to time Westward Kingdoms ask you to collect some sort of important things, and you begin scanning the scene for microscopic objects.

The artwork is absolutely wonderful, though repeats the earlier Westward games. The developers managed to create old west to the point where everything was sharp and drawn with careful attention to the details. However, a medieval theme sounds not very unique there. Those who have already dealt with this game series, surely were expecting to see something new there. But still, the Old West environment is well-designed and will delight newcomers to the series.

All in all, Westward Kingdoms is truly worth playing. Being an addictive time management game, this has fine length, challenging quests, brilliant graphics and good sense of humor.
