On Thursday, Apple Arcade added Kingdoms: Merge & Build, a cute medieval-themed puzzle game, to its library of games. If you subscribe to Apple Arcade ($5, £5 or AU$8 a month), you can play this game at no additional charge, and without ads or in-app purchases.
This game was developed by Cherrypick Games, which also developed mobile games like My Spa Resort and Golf Solitaire TriPeaks Cards.
Kingdoms: Merge & Build is a match-two puzzle game where you have to combine certain items to form new items and resources. For example, crafting two hammers together makes a shovel — don’t ask me how. This title is also a kingdom-builder game where you have to use your new items and resources to rebuild homes, markets and more in your kingdom after a disaster has struck.
While you craft items and rebuild your home, you’re also working to uncover the mystery of what happened to the last king who vanished right before the kingdom collapsed. Surely those two things aren’t connected or anything?
You can play this game, and many others, in Apple Arcade for $5 a month, or $60 annually. You can also try Apple Arcade for free for one month with your first sign-up, or you can get a three-month free trial whenever you buy a new Apple device. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store on your iOS device and tap the joystick in the menu bar.
