Description

"The Rings of Powder" is a fun and ironizing game combining exploration with the construction of an underground kingdom and elements of real-time strategy and idle.

Each level in the game is procedurally generated, which makes the gameplay replayable.

The game was implemented in a polygonal style so that despite the wealth of content it works smoothly on almost all computers and laptops.

The project is an irony of both some legendary and less legendary movies and scenes from reality. The game was inspired by a certain series that distorts characters from Tolkien's world, but not enough to be a good parody.

We say openly that our product does not have much in common with the world of Tolkien, and the similarity of the figures is purely accidental.

We do what some movies and series do, only more...

Our characters, however possibly associated with these worlds, are completely different characters.

Gladamreal - because someone acting so irrational could not be real.
Candalf - A wizard who can.
And the "wise" elf Rondel.

The Game Is Meant to Be Warm, Funny and Ironic.

A relaxing real-time strategy with plenty of humor.

      A Game of Contrasts
      * On the one hand, the game is repetitive in terms of locations.
      ** On the other hand, it offers a wealth of features.
      *** It’s a classic strategy game, but the combat here is quite unusual (in a good way)
      **** But there’s even more HUMOR here! It can liven up even the most boring grind, hehe
      It’s perfect if you have a few free hours but aren’t ready to spend your whole life progressing through the game.
      Yep + Nice graphics & Different enemy units, including dragons!!!!

      You can really tell AI had a hand in this!
      But I can’t say it made me angry. It didn’t make the game any worse, and the humor and satire didn’t give way to a sad and dreary grind!

      The game has a very atmospheric start! The cinematic cutscenes look great.

      However, even after a tutorial like that, questions remain...
      (Maybe the game is designed for experienced players.)
      But I still had to figure some things out on my own!

      To be honest, I don’t always manage to balance my resources... Maybe I’m just a bad economist!

      BUT IN COMBAT I WAS UNBEATABLE! DUDE!

      It’s exactly the kind of situation where you come to get a HUGE dose of positivity, but sometimes also to test your skills in strategy ;0

      System requirements? It seems to be able to run even on my old dusty laptop, despite the abundance of content and some special effects!
      Resources + confrontation + irony, of course :D Lots of irony!

      haha
      this may be your last game in this genre,
      it's unique... but sometimes naive or even stupid :D
      it breaks all the patterns of the usual turn-based strategy.
      + humor

      - monotonous...it gets boring quickly
