Doodle Kingdom: Medieval 
JoyBits Ltd.

Doodle Kingdom: Medieval is a fantasy-inspired puzzle game that turns players into magicians and knights who create, defend (or destroy!) their own magical kingdoms where they can also raise dragons. 

The playful premise from the developers at JoyBits goes like this: God created the world, and people messed it up with their deadly technology. So He decided to start over. Only this time, the new world would be filled with magic and sorcery. That’s where you come in! 

There are several ways to play Doodle Kingdom: Medieval, starting with matching elements in the game’s Genesis mode. It’s fundamentally about experimentation as you pick two elements and attempt to combine them to create something new. The act of creation follows a certain kind of magical logic, and the more you try, the more sense it makes. For example, combine the elements Sky and Beast, and you’ll create Birds. Combine the elements Human and Magic, and you’ll create a Magician. There are more than 100 elements to create and discover. 

After you successfully combine elements, Doodle Kingdom: Medieval treats you with a relevant, often funny quote. Say you combine a Human and an Orc to create a questionable new discovery. Doodle Kingdom: Medieval might invoke Charles Dickens, who famously wrote in Martin Chuzzlewit, “He would make a lovely corpse.”

The more you discover through this playful experimentation, the more you can play. Doodle Kingdom: Medieval's Quests mode allows you to take on a medieval fantasy role as you unlock certain elements. In “Return of the King,” you play as a knight who must help a prince return his crumbling kingdom to its former glory. But before you do that, you’ll have to figure out how to create the castle element. In “The Necromancer’s Uprising” quest, you become a warlock — a “dark mage” who aims to conquer the world, provided you combine elements and find a specific book first. Unlock the “How to Train Your Dragon Quest” to become a dragon breeder, and it’s your job to breed and raise four different kinds of dragons. 

Doodle Kingdom: Medieval also includes a game mode inspired by the endless runner genre. In it, your character not only runs but engages in medieval combat, and it’s your job to heal and protect them along the way with magical potions that replenish their health and energy. Between runs, you can upgrade your hero’s abilities, like strength and defense.
