In Warsim The Realm of Aslona, your singular objective is to prevent the destruction of the Kingdom of Aslona. How you achieve this is entirely up to you. You might choose to be a harsh dictator, imposing taxes for basic necessities like breathing air, or a bloodthirsty warlord leading armies and mercenary bands on raids and invasions. Alternatively, you could become a charismatic diplomat, forging trade routes and alliances with everyone from goblin tribes to orcish chiefdoms.
The core design philosophy of Warsim The Realm of Aslona is to grant players the freedom to rule as they wish, facing the relevant consequences for their actions – sometimes to an extreme degree. Want to destroy the bank because of a one-gold debt? You can. Feel like imprisoning every visiting musician to deter bards? That's an option. Fancy gambling away your kingdom's treasury on scorpion fights and dice games? The game allows for such reckless pursuits.
Key features that define the experience in Warsim The Realm of Aslona include:
- Unparalleled Player Freedom: Rule your kingdom with an iron fist or a velvet glove. Your choices in governance, from taxation to law-making, directly impact your realm and its people.
- Procedurally Generated World: Encounter a dynamic world filled with randomly generated mercenary groups to hire, independent kingdoms to interact with (trade, battle, explore, or vassalize), goblin tribes, and marauding bandit groups.
- Exploration and Discovery: Uncover tons of hidden areas as you explore the map, such as mysterious demon gates or magical wells.
- Kingdom Development and Management: Invest in kingdom upgrades, from guildhalls to improving resource harvesting. Change the laws of your land to suit your ruling style and even open a hall of knights dedicated to any purpose you choose.
- Dynamic Events and Entertainment: Manage a grand arena where you can host tournaments and bet on fights. Face random events at every turn that keep gameplay unpredictable. Even randomly generated musicians with strange songs will visit your court.
Whether your reign leads Aslona to become a mighty empire or crumbles into ruin, Warsim The Realm of Aslona offers a deep and highly replayable ruler simulation that champions player agency and the ensuing consequences.
