Kingdoms and Castles is a city-building video game developed by Lion Shield and released on July 20, 2017, for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

The player has a limited number of peasants who perform jobs such as farming, building and collecting lumber.

As the player progresses, they can begin taxing their peasants for gold, which can be used to pay workers and unlock new types of buildings.

[2] Disasters periodically happen in the kingdom, such as an annual winter that destroys crops, lightning strikes that cause fires, and infectious plagues.

[8] Rock Paper Shotgun praised the artstyle, and felt as though gameplay was less complex than that of other city-building games.
