Let’s get this discussion rolling, guys. Our game today, United Penguin Kingdom by Turquoise Revival Games and published by GrabTheGames. I’ve noticed, same as the game review, that this game draws some parallels with the developer’s previous game, Oxygen. I’m not saying it’s a complete copy, but there are observable similarities. However, this penguin-themed city-building game does have its unique charm with a cutesy appeal.

Yeah, I can see your point NewGamer. Here’s something new—managing a penguin settlement isn’t something you come across every day! The gameplay mechanics are pretty straightforward, but there are layers hidden beneath those, which is always appreciated. For instance, you need to balance between advancing the community in ranks, managing resources, maintaining happiness amongst the penguins, and of course, defending the kingdom from seals and killer whales. It’s not just a game about collecting and expanding but a strategic one requiring calculated decisions too.

What I find quite engaging is this game’s open-world setting. It’s not just about resource and task management, but also looking for ways to increase your efficiency. For speedrunners like me, the ranks and shaping up the economy are the real challenges to enjoy and master. This game can be rewarding if you value timing and planning.

I agree, SpeedyGamer99. The game says it in the name: United Penguin Kingdom. It’s about uniting and growing your kingdom, improving the living conditions for your penguins. There’s a real sense of progression and achievement when you see your settlement evolve, improve its reputation, and advance in ranks.

And let’s not overlook the graphics and visual appeal of the game. I love the attention to detail in building designs and the cute animations of our penguin subjects. From their individual activities to the way they engage with the environment, it all adds to the overall charm of the game.

True, NewGamer. Now, moving onto the audio aspect. There’s no voice acting as such but the background music and sounds go hand in hand with the theme of the game—upbeat, cheerful and playful, just like the penguins themselves!

While the game isn’t overloaded with characters and intricate plotlines, the penguins themselves, in all their varying moods and activities, do keep you invested in the journey.

Absolutely, SpeedyGamer99. And there’s considerable challenge in maintaining their happiness, fulfilling their needs, and managing resources while fending off predators. Not to mention improving the economy and achieving a high reputation—so replayability isn’t an issue.

Exactly! So, guys, any final thoughts on this unique game, United Penguin Kingdom?

Supremely engaging if you appreciate strategy and building games. It’s got a cute appeal, but with complex layers underneath. If you’ve enjoyed games like Cities: Skylines or Banished, this could potentially be a charming addition to your library.

For me, it’s all about planning and timing, and this game provides plenty of opportunities for it. Highly enjoyable for speedrunners and strategists!

I enjoy exploring every detail and watching the fruition of my actions—this game has plenty of it. If micromanagement and progression are your things, you should definitely try United Penguin Kingdom.
