About this game

Step into a richly detailed world where your dreams of ruling a thriving kingdom become a reality. This captivating resource management game seamlessly blends storytelling with strategic gameplay. Begin your journey with no more than a vision and gradually shape the destiny of a nation.

"Daria: A Kingdom Simulator" is an epic 125,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Mike Walter, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Your kingdom doesn't exist in isolation. You’ll navigate a dynamic world with rival kingdoms, diplomatic intricacies, and the ever-present possibility of warfare or subjugation as you strive to craft a lasting legacy. The heart of the game lies in its complex yet accessible battle system.

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary.
• Return to the Lucidverse and be a part of the history of Daria.
• Play in Easy, Normal, or Hard modes, where each difficulty affects many aspects of play.
• Make use of a fully-functioning encyclopedia of game concepts to aid you.
• Enjoy an endless arena-style, tournament mode for you and your heroes to train in battle.
• Specialize as a virtuous or malevolent cleric, a formidable fighter, or a spell-casting wizard.
• Create noble offices, embark on grand building projects, and manage your subjects to help your nation grow.
• Use battle strategy and troop composition to defeat other nations—or negotiate with them using your diplomatic skills.
• Equip your ruler with the most recently acquired weapons and armor.
• Find and collect ten heroes to join you, including an elven huntress, a dwarven prince, a halfling weapons-master, the Archmage of the Academy of Wizards, the Bishop of the Holy Four, and many others.

Are you ready to take the throne and shape the fate of Daria?

Ratings and reviews

I usually really like Mike Walter's stuff, but this one's kind of a mess right now. The engine will inevitably error out and force you to reopen the game at regular intervals, and if you send anything but your entire military into every encounter, it will delete your military. This one was neat in concept, but ultimately misses the mark. The Choice Of engine just wasn't meant to do this, and handles it really poorly

After 3 hours of playing, the game tells you "Game updated, the chapter has been reloaded". Your game is lost without a warning. That sucks. It lacks a save / load feature. Edit: it did it again. I don't care how epic the tale is if you're pissing off your readers like that..

Less simulation, more story. Most of the game is just resource management. Great if you have graphics and audio to enhance it, but when you're dealing with interactive fiction a game purely based on RM falls flat. It would be much better served using RM as a tool to enhance the story, but the story in this game is well, pretty much nonexistent. You just do stuff without knowing why you're doing stuff. "Go raid this tribe." "Why?" "To get supplies." "Why?" "So we can raid more tribes."
