Order of Kings, the latest title from DW Studio, is shaping up to be a refreshing take on the 4X sandbox RTS genre for mobile and PC. The game has officially opened pre-registration starting January 9 on Android, iOS, and PC, with a planned release date of March 20, 2026, according to the App Store listing.
A True Real-Time 4X Sandbox Strategy Experience
Unlike many traditional SLGs that rely heavily on stat checks and automated battles, Order of Kings emphasizes real-time troop control and tactical decision-making. Battles take place on a fully 3D topographic battlefield, instantly setting it apart from popular titles like Rise of Kingdoms, Lords Mobile, and Age of Empires: Mobile.
Players can freely command units, exploit attack ranges, and leverage each troop’s unique traits to outmaneuver opponents. Victory isn’t determined by numbers alone, but by smart positioning and battlefield awareness.
Tactical Depth With 3D Terrain and Unit Collision
One of the game’s standout features is its real collision system, making troop placement and movement crucial. Chokepoints, routes, and passes can be seized strategically, while forests and high ground offer tactical advantages for ambushes and defensive plays.
The absence of VIP perks, pay-to-win mechanics, and building timers further reinforces the game’s focus on skill-based gameplay rather than progression walls.
Strategist Skills and Commander Abilities
Each Commander in Order of Kings brings unique Strategist Skills that can drastically change the flow of battle. Combined with precise troop positioning and route control, these abilities add another layer of depth for players who enjoy mastering complex strategies.
Siege warfare, alliance-based conquest, and real-time coordination promise a challenging yet rewarding experience for strategy fans.
