Kingdom Death is a miniatures game you NEED to check out

Ойын-сауық

Kingdom Death: Monster is a fairly unknown, but thoroughly underrated miniatures game suitable for solo or small group play, with a focus on survival, "arena" battles and settlement management. You could say that it has a grimdark setting, but unlike Warhammer and Warhammer 40k, KDM has its world and lore steeped throughout every aspect of the game - and for that, I love it so. It's something everyone should at least have a gander at!
It has a wonderful line of miniatures for use both in-game and simply as eye candy, and I'm convinced it has something for everyone. Check it out if you're looking for something to get totally sucked into.

    This is exactly the kind of content that we need more of for KDM! Considered, articulate, light on spoilers and a focus on the almost intangible greatness of Adam Poots’ artistic vision. For those who this unique game speaks to, Kingdom Death: Monster is a wonderfully dark escape from the harsh realities of life and is one that shines its lantern light on the fundamental beauty and essence of nature’s struggle to persist. I salute you sir! Fantastic stuff. Subscribed!

    I been playing KDM since 2017 and the best advice i can give to new players is the core game is enough and go in blind. alot of the game and story is discovered through trial and error and remeber that you not any one survivor you are the settlement.

    It seems we are in a very similar phase in our hobby journeys! I too have been painting Warhammer for a good number of years without ever finishing an army or ever playing a proper game of 40K or Horus Heresy. Kingdom Death is quite freeing: I can focus all my energy on one big monster miniature without having to worry if I’ll ever have the mental energy to finish 50 of the same plastic person! Great video!! Keep it up! Hell you inspired me into consider making my own vids on KDM!

    On a similar note - you also don't have to worry about buying, painting up a unit and loving how they turn out only to have them wiped out in one turn or perform poorly. Everything you paint can be used without worry, especially the monsters! And hey, if you feel like it, give it a go! We can always use more KDM content on here 😄

    I bought it during the Black Friday sale for 50% off which was much easier to swallow. And considering we've been playing it 1-3 times a week since Christmas I feel like I have gotten a good return on investment. Better than a game that I only spent 60$ on and played 3-4 times total.

    Honestly it's sounds like a souldsborne, Dark dungeon, actual A rated game, and to be honest a ligtht RPG... like all the vaule comes from the high concpt and not the game, lore, art or concpt... Also I've heard those mini are GW quality but how? And why is there a thick rule book and the game $400 when it lacks in well everything? Edit: Which the game's comiption seems to be free light RPGs not well any GW product yet it has a $400 starter box which would make GW blush at that price.

    I think KDM requires more investment up-front compared to Warhammer, but imo I'd say most (if not all) Warhammer armies cost more than the core KDM set in order to get properly playing, especially around the 2k points mark. Games like Kill Team and Warcry excluded, of course. The single model prices seem comparable, depending on what content comes with them

    I would have to disagree. Perhaps it's well-known to boardgame folk, but neither me or my circle are a part of that - and so despite knowing about Warhammer, Infinity, Bolt Action, Legion, War Machine etc. etc. KDM was completely unknown to us. To a wargaming crowd, I would say it is pretty unknown. Underrated is perhaps a bit of a stretch, but it definitely got your attention 😅

    I think "rip off" is a bit of a strong statement. The creator of the game hasn't been shy about showing his love for the series, and I believe that he has even directly stated that Berserk was a huge inspiration to him. If Kingdom Death was all overtly ripped Berserk content I'd be inclined to agree with you, but as it stands there are simply references and an appreciation for the media, the rest being an original work. If you're a Berserk fan, as I am, why don't you check it out? You may be pleasantly surprised, especially if the oppressive atmosphere is something that resonates with you

    And Berserk “ripped off” Conan the Barbarian and Elric of Melniboné according to its creator. Stories are inspired by other sources, that’s not ripping off. Berserk didn’t invent dark fantasy, it’s been around for a long time.
