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.

• 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

Save option is not available, although the FAQ section says it is available. I had to play the entire game with fear of un-intentionally clicking wrong buttons. Otherwise a great kingdom builder game. A few things become repetitive and predictable as the game goes on. Like you can take infinitely more time to build your troops without anything affecting your peace, even in hard mode. Which means I just have to simulate enough days to build a large enough army to beat each opponent one by one.

Amazing game and beautiful story and even better writing. My only problem with it is the free portion of the game is really short so players may not experience that much fun. My suggestion is that they put the option to watch ads to be allowed to progress through the game, just like "Life of a Wizard".
