Details

The full picture

Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.

01

What the game is

SHADOW OF THE KINGDOM is a real-time party RPG released October 12, 2026 at $7.64.

Elysia is the undying continent the gods walked away from, and adventurers are sent to face the Trials.

This is not a story about saving the world - it is a story about being chosen by it.

02

Chains and bursts

1000 TP buys one weapon skill; who opens, who follows, and how you get a slow-casting Sorcerer to arrive on time is the core question.

TP carries over between fights inside a dungeon, so you can walk into a boss room with a chain already loaded.

Timing is everything: a Skill Chain roughly doubles damage, and a Magic Burst pushes it to about 4x.

03

Hatred and who it is for

Enemies attack whoever they hate most, tracked in two layers: cumulative CE that drops when the target is hit, and volatile VE that decays every second.

Your Guardian can taunt enemies into place, but if the back line pushes too much damage the numbers flip and the mage gets hit.

The shield holds the line and must keep earning CE back - it suits players who like real-time tactical party management (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
