Vertical Kingdom is a card-based city-building roguelite where you play as the Great Architect tasked with rebuilding a fallen empire. Players construct cities vertically, manage scarce resources, and strategize using building cards in a challenging post-war world.

Key Features

• Vertical City Building
  Construct your city by stacking buildings on top of each other. This system requires careful planning to make the most of limited space and resources. Taller buildings unlock new capabilities but may also introduce instability, making each placement crucial.

• Card-Based Construction System
  Use cards to place buildings each turn. Each card represents a different type of structure with unique effects, so choosing the right combination is essential for city growth and development.

• Resource Management
  Manage essential resources such as food, water, wood, stone, and metal. Proper allocation is vital for city stability, population growth, and survival during expeditions.

• Roguelite Expeditions
  Embark on randomized expeditions to gather resources. Each journey presents challenges like scarce supplies, environmental hazards, and unexpected events that require flexible strategies.

• Strategic Planning
  Every building placement has permanent consequences. Players must think ahead and carefully consider the order and location of each structure to optimize city development.

• Deck-Building Mechanics
  Unlock new cards and build your deck strategically. This allows for unique building placements, synergies, and tailored strategies for different playstyles.

• Adjustable Difficulty Levels
  Customize the challenge with different difficulty settings. Higher difficulties reduce resource availability and increase expedition risks, while easier modes allow for a more relaxed experience.

• Pixel Art Style
  Enjoy charming pixel art visuals that clearly display buildings and resources while providing a relaxing and nostalgic aesthetic.

• Single-Player Experience
  Focus on solo gameplay without multiplayer elements, allowing for an immersive and personal city-building experience.

• Permanent Upgrades
  Earn points from expeditions to invest in permanent upgrades, improving your capabilities for future runs and enabling more ambitious city designs.
