The free demo for the strategy RPG "Kingdom Chronicle: Ancient Legends" is now available on Steam, offering Chapters 1-1 through 1-3 of the first chapter, with an estimated playtime of 2 to 3 hours. The game supports Simplified Chinese, and actual playtime may vary depending on difficulty and playstyle.
Developed by Studio Hakubyousai and published by Atelier KUSOGE, this title combines army formation, strategic map movement, and hex-based turn-based combat. Players can organize generals and soldiers into armies, move units on the strategic map, adjust formations, and buy or sell equipment. In tactical battles, players can leverage terrain, support actions, encirclement, command links, and skills to fight.
The demo offers three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Expert, and includes strategy and tactics tutorials as well as an in-game manual. The interface, story, tutorials, manual, and reference texts support Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, English, and Korean, but the game does not feature character voice acting. After completing stages 1-1 to 1-3, the demo ends; training, class changes, and subsequent levels are not available.
Demo save files cannot be carried over to the full version and may be deleted due to development needs. This version currently does not support Steam Cloud saves or Steam achievements, and can only be played using a mouse and keyboard.
