About

Afterkind

Features
Read full description

Afterkind is a full offline 4X strategy game โ€” build a civilization on a hex map with no wifi and no account. Ten thousand years after humanity vanished, new civilizations have risen from the creatures we left behind. You lead one. Found cities with settlers. Improve the land with workers. Raise armies that advance era by era โ€” warriors to swordsmen to musketeers to riflemen โ€” and win by Domination, Science, Culture, or Time. It's the classic turn-based empire-builder loop, shaped for your phone and finishable in a few sessions. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT โ€ข Ten playable Kinds, each a full civilization with its own units โ€” beavers, crows, machines, octopuses, bees, moths, otters, fungus, and two visitors from elsewhere: lizardfolk and the Greys. โ€ข A 2.5D isometric diorama board โ€” extruded hex tiles, lit and shadowed like a carved tabletop. โ€ข Six difficulty levels, from a gentle first empire to a relentless AI. โ€ข Four victory routes, each a different way to play. โ€ข A career page that remembers every campaign โ€” your record, your signature victory, your nemesis, your rank. PLAY OFFLINE, FOREVER No account, no login, no internet required. Your saves live on your device. Every map is a seed you can share โ€” "play my exact map" โ€” and every finished game gives you a score card to post. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL EXTRAS The complete game is free: all four victory types, every era, and three Kinds (Damwright Guilds, Corvid Court, Lantern Order). If you want more, unlock Kind Packs once and keep them forever, or subscribe to Afterkind Online for every Kind plus weekly ranked leaderboards, hosted Chronicles, and cloud backup. We never sell power โ€” paid Kinds are balanced sidegrades. AFTERKIND ONLINE (optional subscription) โ€ข 7-day free trial, then auto-renews until cancelled. โ€ข Monthly or annual; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings. โ€ข Unlocks all Kind Packs while active, plus online rank and leaderboards. Terms of Use (EULA): https://adelyons.com/apps/afterkind/eula.html Privacy Policy: https://adelyons.com/apps/afterkind/privacy.html Lead a Kind. Build an empire. After us, the world kept playing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Afterkind at none against DeckKeeper's shown. Afterkind also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
