Rewrite the History Books and Shape Your Empire in Grand Strategy City Builder Kaiserpunk’s Playtest

[Zagreb, November 27th, 2024] - Overseer Games have been hard at work (almost as hard as your citizens will work in your grand city-states) on their grand strategy city builder Kaiserpunk since its first playtest earlier this year. Eager to work alongside players to shape the game’s development, the team is back with another playtest that gives a massive look at what the title offers. Players can participate in the playtest from November 29 - December 3 on Steam.

Since its first playtest during the game’s alpha, Kaiserpunk has evolved into a feature-rich experience with brand-new and reworked systems, along with feedback from the first playtest being addressed. “Your feedback was instrumental in shaping Kaiserpunk after Playtest 1, and this second playtest will give you an even bigger slice of the action to critique, explore, and enjoy.” Said Mario Mihokovic of Overseer Games. You can check out how much the game has evolved in the new trailer below!

Some of the features and improvements players can expect to enjoy in the massive playtest include:

• Flag Design: Create a custom flag to represent your nation.

• Heritage Selection: Choose your nation's background—German, Western Allies, or Russian. These are just a glimpse and are subject to change before v1.0.

• Social Pillars: Align your nation’s political ideology.

• Tutorial 2.0: The tutorial has been completely revamped based on early player feedback.

• Expanded Maps: Over 20 maps spread across four unique biomes.

• More Stories: New branching narratives with meaningful choices.

• Diplomacy System: War isn’t your only option anymore…unless you want it to be.

• Basic Trade System: Trade for resources you can’t produce on your own to help your nation thrive.

• Tier 3 Production: Build advanced industries and infrastructure.

• Enhanced World Map HUD: A redesigned world map based on player feedback.

• UI/UX Overhaul: A sleeker, more intuitive experience.

• Army Specializations: Unlock unique unit army upgrades.

• Tier 3 Military Units and Buildings: Build stronger forces with new tier 3 units and buildings.

• Decorations System: Customize your ever-expanding capital city (2 out of 3 tiers complete).

• Improved Combat System: Improvements bring more depth and clarity in battle phases.

• Upgraded Weather System: …A little rain never hurt anyone

• Major Optimization:
  Play smoother, faster, and without draining your system resources. (And we’re just getting started) 

​​​​​Kaiserpunk’s unique cause-and-effect system will set events on many branching narrative paths that will change the trajectory of the world based on player decisions. Will you champion peace and forge alliances, or will you rise as a tyrant, conquering all who stand in your way? Players eager to reshape history can opt into the playtest on Steam and dive into Kaiserpunk from November 29 - December 3.
