This allows them to execute advanced pathfinding, decision-making, and even a loyalty system, with a procedurally generated animation system helping bring the mobs to life.&nbsp;Kingmakers also feature co-op with up to three other players. Each ally commands their own army to work together to topple enemy fortresses or defend friendly strongholds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Redemption Road Games states in an X post that it has been working on Kingmakers for the last five years. It looks wild and is certainly a refreshing concept. Hopefully, it\u2019s as fun as it looks, and we&#8217;ll find out when it launches to PC via Steam sometime this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2024\/02\/20\/kingmakers-brings-medieval-combat-with-an-amazing-twist\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some may look at an early clip of Kingmakers and think they already know what to expect: tactical battles in which you command medieval armies across sweeping battlefields.
