During its early access launch earlier this year, 9 Kings made a strong impression with its engaging mechanics of card-based unit and building placement. Inspired by the genre, developer Sad Socket’s game now introduces a critical update: the addition of its ninth king, known as The King of Time. Previously, players could only choose from eight kings.

The newly added monarch offers a unique set of gameplay mechanics that revolve around time manipulation, promising an exciting new dynamic for tactical maneuvers. In the latest update, users can benefit from this character’s abilities while still enjoying the challenging gameplay they’ve come to appreciate.

The King of Time, described as “a multidimensional gentleman who travels through the ages in search of more kingdoms to conquer,” embodies both character and strategy as he utilizes cards that facilitate rapid advancements or cause delays.

More than just the introduction of the ninth king, this update also enhances the game’s difficulty levels and adds new starting perks, allowing players to tailor their experiences further. With upcoming plans for additional game modes and challenges, 9 Kings aims to build upon its solid foundation. Now available at a discounted price, it offers a fresh experience for new players and veterans alike.
