About Rat King

Rat King casts you as the unseen sovereign of a writhing rodent kingdom, sending swarms scurrying through sewers, alleys, and the lit streets above. The strategy layer is all about scale, sacrifice, and direction, choosing when to swell your numbers, when to fortify nests, and when to flood a target with biting tides. Grim hand-inked art, a brooding score, and short campaign chapters give the dark fantasy setting real weight without dragging out runs. With light deckbuilding-style command choices and steadily nastier human opposition, it is a memorable strategy game for players who appreciate a villainous perspective and tactile, swarm-based combat.
