Super Fantasy Kingdom is a unique roguelite town builder that asks you to survive as long as you can.
While the core objective is to rebuild your kingdom, your strategy will always vary depending on many factors. You also have to defend your kingdom from the hordes of evil that want to take over. If you’re overwhelmed about what needs to be done, this guide will erase all your confusion.

How do you win in Super Fantasy Kingdom
The concept of winning in Super Fantasy Kingdom involves outlasting your enemies for as many days as possible. Every day in the game has two cycles: morning and night. During the morning or daytime, your task is to build, gather resources, and gain new units (the Hero you use has to be chosen at the start).
At night, your task is to survive the hordes of enemies coming at you. First, you’ll be attacked by weak minions that can be taken down quite easily. Some nights will have bosses trying to break down your defenses.
A successful defense combines multiple factors. Your Hero will lead the primary charge, but your summoned units will also aid your defense. Raising defensive buildings is also crucial, as is feeding your units.
When you feed your units, they gain XP and level up (the same applies to your hero). Feeding only occurs after you have survived a night cycle. If you don’t have food, your units will stop growing, making them weak against stronger enemies.
Super Fantasy Kingdom UI explained
The UI at first can be quite confusing to understand, and there are multiple elements. Here’s a quick summary of what each icon and terminology means.
- Hero: Your starting character. If the Hero dies, your run is over.
- Kingdom Level: Level of your kingdom. You’ll unlock new items and Heroes as you level up.
- Shards: Used to create different items, and can be obtained by defeating bosses and completing bounties.
- Taxes and Faith: Taxes can be used to purchase Heroes and Items, while Faith allows you to upgrade them.
- Kingdom Resources: Different resources that are required to run your kingdom.
- Glory: Allows you to expand your kingdom. Received when you kill 10 monsters (repeatable).
- World Settings: An overview of all upcoming events that are going to take place.
- World Quests: Different tasks to complete for rewards.
- Plots: Spaces where you can raise new buildings.
Super Fantasy Kingdom buildings guide
Your kingdom is toothless without the correct type of buildings, and we have a dedicated guide for the correct order. However, the simple rule is to pay attention to your resources. You’ll want to reduce the time taken by a villager/worker to complete their job.
Hence, you should build your production buildings near where the respective resources are located. Small buildings should be built on the smaller plots to avoid wasting space. As a priority, you should always set up Houses, Mines, and Sawmills first since all three are crucial to expanding your kingdom.
Super Fantasy Kingdom Units and Heroes
Your kingdom’s defense will largely depend on your Heroes and Units. Heroes are like your champions, while Units provide unique buffs and stat modifiers (further enhanced with the use of correct relics). You will unlock new Heroes by completing various tasks and leveling up your kingdom.
For Units, you’ll need to complete specific tasks and challenges, and some of them can be quite difficult. Always pay attention to the respective strengths of your Heroes and their weaknesses, and then decide on the units.
That’s pretty much it when it comes to understanding the basics in Super Fantasy Kingdom. The instructions in this guide are meant for those who will play with Human Kingdom. While the core rules remain the same, there are key differences if you’re playing as the Undead Kingdom.
