Build a kingdom, not just a city
Most city-builders focus on managing one settlement, but RAEV takes things further. You won’t just create a single town, you’ll oversee an entire kingdom, expanding across different regions and connecting them through trade, diplomacy, and conquest. Every decision matters, from managing resources to keeping your citizens happy.
Build how you want, rule how you like
Forget strict grids, this game lets you place buildings wherever you like, design roads freely, and shape your kingdom exactly how you envision it. Want a peaceful trading empire? A powerful military state? A thriving cultural hub? It’s all up to you.
But leading a kingdom isn’t easy. Bandits, ancient dangers, and logistical challenges will test your leadership. You’ll need to recruit adventurers, defend your cities, and make smart strategic choices to survive.
The people make the kingdom
Your citizens, known as Raevins, aren’t just faceless workers. They gather resources, manage towns, and even uncover secrets across the land. Train them, watch them grow, and shape their lives as your empire expands.
Easy to pick up, deep to master
RAEV is designed to be approachable for new players while offering enough depth for strategy veterans. You’ll start with a simple village and gradually expand, unlocking new tech, upgrading cities, and refining your kingdom as you go. Every choice shapes the world around you.
With its mix of city-building, RPG mechanics, and grand strategy elements, RAEV: Kingdom on the Distant Shores is shaping up to be something special. Keep an eye on Steam for updates as its 2026 release draws closer.
