Become the King In a Sea Of Monsters in Kingfish

Assume one of two roles in a world covered in a vast ocean filled with monsters and other dangers – Play strategically from above as the giant fish, which doubles as the land for the kingdom. Manage resources, build structures, and provide support on the battlefield. On the ground which doubles as the back of the massive seabeast, guide the young King, gathering resources and fighting enemies in real-time combat. If King and Fish will survive, they must coordinate and each play their roles. As the King, manage the details of life on the back of a giant fish and manage the unique villagers. Pay attention to their needs and preferences to raise morale and have a fighting force ready when it's time for battle, then respond to immediate invading threats.

Or become the far-seeing Fish and look to the bigger picture – nearby dangers in the sea, resource production, and the layout of the city. Expand the city and organize workers to meet production goals. Alert the King to hostile forces approaching in the darkness of night, and provide support in battle by casting powerful spells. Share information about enemies, resources, and plans in order to bring peace and harmony to the tiny civilization emerging on the back of the ancient leviathan, and carry on the royal family's promise and destiny! Each run brings a new city to build, with new characters to meet, new buildings to construct, and new artifacts to discover, but with returning villagers, who provide special perks to the King and Fish.
