Kinda is a quick strategy game on a tiny planet. Drag from your city to a neighbour to send your armies, capture villages, and turn them into farms that feed your soldiers, smithies that strengthen them or barracks that multiply them, then upgrade them with a double tap. Watch your borders: a besieged city cannot launch an army, and a city cut off from your land is of no use to you. Campaign: ten eras on one planet From the Stone Age to the Space Age, each era has its own cities, buildings, soldiers and weapons: tents and herds, ziggurats and pyramids, Roman temples, the market of Al-Faw (capital of the Kinda kingdom), the Round City, factories and railways, skyscrapers, and finally a launch pad. From level 8, gold, oil and iron mines and defence bases join the fight. Shaheen, the falcon of Kinda, guides you through a tour that teaches you everything. Online against real players Quick match puts you against real players on a random map, 2 or 4 players, across iPhone and PC. Or create a private room for friends with a four-digit code, or practise against the computer. Every win raises your rating and earns pearls. Rule from a real capital Collect pearls and buy a famous city that rivals see in every match: • Riyadh: Kingdom Centre, the KAFD towers, the Riyadh Metro, Diriyah and Qiddiya. • Tokyo: Skytree, Tokyo Tower, Mount Fuji, Senso-ji and the neon of Shibuya. • Paris: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame on the Seine, the Louvre, the Opera and Sacré-Cœur. Your code and every planet's leaderboard No sign-up and no email: you get a player code like KQ-4821, pick an avatar and a capital, add friends by their codes, and see where you rank among nearby players, your friends and the top players. Pearls 20 pearls as a daily gift, 10 for every online win against a real player, or pearl packs in the Store. Everything is hand-built low-poly with warm colours: 3D cloud seas over the unknown, sharp peaks, faceted water and violet space. No ads. In Arabic and English.
