Description
Brews & Kings is a roguelike medieval city builder where your whole city feeds one sprawling brewing operation. Scout for rare ingredients and resources, raise the farms, mills, and workshops that keep it running, and supply the factions you want to win over. Kings rise or fall on the strength of your beer.
You are the Brewmaster, risen from the cellars to build a city that lives and breathes beer. Four factions hold power in the realm — the Workers who labor, the Merchants who trade, the King who rules, and the Spirits who watch from beyond. Every farm, mill, and workshop you raise feeds one purpose: the sprawling production chain that turns grain and water into the finest ale in the kingdom.
Each faction sends orders, and filling them earns their favor — and the rewards that favor unlocks. Choose whose demands you serve and whose you let go, because no city can please everyone. Scout the map for rare ingredients and resources, and route every barrel to where it buys you the most influence.
Brews & Kings is a roguelike city builder: the relics, recipes, and hard-won upgrades you gather carry forward into each new run, so every kingdom you build leaves you stronger for the next. Made by Scarlet Engineering, a Taipei studio building systems-driven games where simple rules produce surprising play.
