How co-op works
Online co-op allows players to coordinate separate armies and modern arsenals across shared medieval battlefields, each commanding thousands of troops and switching between tactical oversight and direct third-person combat to complete strategic objectives together.
About this game
Kingmakers is a time-traveling action strategy sandbox where you deploy contemporary firearms and explosives against medieval forces, rewriting history one battle at a time. You build and manage a kingdom between engagements, then lead armies of thousands into real-time simulated conflicts that blend overhead command with boots-on-the-ground gunfighting.

Gameplay alternates between tactical map control and third-person shooter action. You position formations, issue orders, and set waypoints, then drop into the front lines to use rifles, grenades, and heavy weapons against sword-wielding infantry and cavalry. The simulation tracks individual units, so every shot and explosion ripples through the battlefield as AI soldiers react to threats far beyond their era.
Online cooperative play lets you and a partner share the campaign, splitting command duties and coordinating firepower across sprawling engagements. Kingdom upgrades unlock new equipment and army types, rewarding experimentation with different weapon loadouts and tactical approaches as you progress through the story or revisit scenarios to test alternative strategies.

How does co-op work in Kingmakers?
You can play the entire campaign online with a partner. Both players share command duties and can coordinate tactics across the battlefield-one player might manage troop formations from the tactical view while the other drops into third-person shooter mode to provide direct fire support. Communication is key since you're juggling strategic positioning and real-time gunfighting together.
Do I control individual soldiers or entire armies?
Both. You position and command armies of thousands from a tactical overhead view, issuing orders and setting waypoints for formations. Then you can seamlessly drop into third-person shooter mode to fight alongside your troops with modern weapons, directly influencing the battle while the simulation continues to track every unit around you.
What kind of modern weapons can I use against medieval armies?
You bring contemporary firearms and explosives into medieval battles-rifles, grenades, and heavy weapons that vastly outmatch swords and cavalry. The game tracks how individual AI soldiers react to these anachronistic threats, and your kingdom upgrades unlock new equipment and weapon loadouts as you progress.
Is there any PvP or competitive mode?
No, Kingmakers is focused entirely on cooperative play. You and yours partners work together against AI-controlled medieval forces in the campaign and simulated battles-there's no player-versus-player mode.
