Simple Lands Online, a fresh addition to the Google Play Store, revives the charm of classic text-based strategy gaming with a modern twist. Originally launched as a browser game, it has now transitioned to mobile platforms, complete with a reset to a new server, offering players a clean slate to build their empire from the ground up.
What’s Simple Lands Online?
In Simple Lands Online, you embark on a journey to construct your empire, starting with nothing and working your way to greatness. The game strikes a perfect balance between risk and reward in its combat system. If an attack fails, your losses are limited to 25%, ensuring you can regroup and strategize without losing everything. On the defensive side, you'll never lose more than 20% of your forces, allowing you to recover even after a stronghold is hit. This thoughtful mechanic encourages thoughtful planning rather than mindless attacks.
Lead your forces, including infantry, archers, and cavalry, through battles across five distinct regions. Every decision you make is crucial. The game includes an espionage system where you can train spies to disrupt your enemies by stealing resources or gathering intel. However, be wary—your spies might be caught if the enemy has watchtowers.
Progress in Simple Lands Online involves managing troops and resources, forging alliances, and dealing with rival factions. You'll be constantly building your empire, researching technology to enhance production, and training more units to strengthen your army. While combat is a core element, managing your kingdom is equally important, including assigning workers, boosting production, and optimizing your resources.
The game also features battle logs that track your victories and defeats, helping you plan your next move or seek revenge if things went south last time. Simple Lands Online is free to play and available on the Google Play Store.
What’s Next?
The developers are looking to expand the game with additional server types as it grows, such as permanent servers or speed servers. Currently, the game operates on a seasonal basis, which keeps the playing field level after each reset.
Simple Lands Online might evoke memories of games like Kingdoms of Chaos, and as its name implies, it offers a straightforward gameplay experience that doesn't penalize you for experimenting.
