Hooded Horse and Sad Socket’s auto-battling deckbuilder 9 Kings has officially left early access and is now available in 1.0. The game can be purchased on PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, and is also playable via PC Game Pass.
According to information Oyun Günlüğü obtained from Hooded Horse, 9 Kings has players pick a ruler and defend their kingdom against endless waves of rivals competing to become the King of Kings. Across decades of war, players command everything from sentient mushrooms and blaster wizards to kamikaze bombers and undead hordes, expanding and upgrading a small but mighty fortress with a curated deck of cards and adapting their tactics quickly across successive battles.
What’s new in 1.0
The full release features four distinct modes, including the all-new Joker mode, which lets players set the rules of play and build a custom nine-card starting deck drawn from all Kings. The 1.0 update also adds random daily quests, more than 30 new decrees that bring wild buffs and modifiers to combo strategies, more powerful rainbow cards, and new perks tied to meta mechanics.
Price, platforms and languages
9 Kings is localized from English into 29 languages, including Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. On PC, the game is priced at $19.99, £17.99, €19.99 and ¥1,980, with a 50% launch discount running for the next two weeks. A mobile version published by Playdigious is available on iOS and Android, while Sidekick Publishing is assisting Hooded Horse in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
