Quando conheci a versão de acesso antecipado deste jogo minha mãe estava em fase terminal de câncer. Foram dias bem complicado e este jogo me ajudava a distrair um pouco. Em Dezembro de 2025 bem no finalzinho do mês ela se foi. Esse jogo ainda tem me ajudado a distrair e me entreter nessa jornada que é o luto. Muito obrigado aos desenvolvedores. NUNCA É SÓ UM JOGO.

THE GAME IS COMPLETELY BROKEN
After the last patch, the game has become a roulette of whether you will actually be able to finish your run or not.
Crashes, freezes, bugs, etc. in every run.
Some of the problems I encountered:
- Random freeze at the start of a battle
- Enemies passing through the wall
- Wall with infinite HP
- Crash when there is a Slime on the field and it tries to multiply while there is a large number of troops (100+)
- Nomad Champion, the boss, completely bugged: troops don’t attack him, and he one-shot kills all units even when they have infinite HP
- Pagoda summons not attacking anything
- Dragon summons dealing no damage
In short, the game is currently unplayable. Wait for a patch to fix this.
O JOGO ESTÁ TOTALMENTE QUEBRADO
Depois do ultimo patch, o jogo se tornou uma roleta russa se vc vai conseguir ou não terminar sua run.
Crash, travamento, bugs e etc em TODA run
Alguns problemas que tive:
- Travamento aleatório no começo de uma batalha
- Inimigos atravessando a muralha
- Muralha com HP infinito
- Crash quando tem um "Slime" no campo e ele vai se multiplicar e tem um numero de tropas elevado (100+)
- Campeão dos Nômades, o boss, totalmente bugado: as tropas nao batem, ele dá hit kill em todas as unidades, mesmo que elas tenham HP infinito

TL/DR: Jogo é bão mas mal balanceado
O que me fez gostar do jogo foi a possibilidade de você montar diferentes estratégias combinando cartas diferentes. Os desenvolvedores adicionaram um modo de jogo que coloca desafios nos quais você já está direcionado para uma certa estratégia. No papel parece ser uma ótima ideia, mas na prática eu encontrei um jogo extremamente desbalanceado mesmo indo para uma estratégia indicada pelo desafio. As tropas oponentes escalam de uma maneira absurda.
Um exemplo é um dos desafios do rei do progresso, iniciando com vários ratos, o que claramente indica para fazer uma run com ratos buffados. Independente de você colocar ratos com nível extremamente alto, eles continuam com uma vida pequena que é insinerada por qualquer um dos reis rivais no desafio. Os desafios desse jogo só parecem ser um passo na direção contrária ao que eu tanto gostei nesse jogo, que era a liberdade para fazer uma run do jeito que eu quisesse.
Em teoria dos jogos tem um gráfico que ilustra a ideia de fazer um jogo difícil o suficiente para ser um desafio que excita a vontade do jogador a continuar jogando, mas se você pesa a mão no desafio o jogo deixa de ser divertido. Como alguém que já participou de produção de jogos e viu de perto pessoas fazendo seus primeiros jogos. muitos por falta de habilidade tornavam seus jogos desajeitados e desbalanceados, falavam então que o jogo era apenas um novo tipo de "souls" mas isso só esconde a falta de trabalho que tiveram para deixar o jogo certinho. Um jogo difícil pode ser bom. Um jogo mal feito pode ser difícil de se jogar.
Eu não digo que esse jogo é mal feito, as ideias apresentadas, a arte, o áudio são todos muito bem feitos. Mas quem está por trás do código do jogo poderia dar uma retrabalhada no balanceamento. Eu acompanho o jogo desde os primeiros dias e sei que houveram mudanças na escala do dano, eu sinto que o balanceamento de dano das tropas aliadas vs rivais foi para o espaço há algum tempo.3 acharam útilVer na Steam - ▼ Não recomenda4,8 h jogadas ao escrever22 nov. 2025Acesso antecipado

Ótimo jogo. Tem alguns problemas de performace e tal, mas pra jogadores casuais não impacta muito. Alguns reis são mais ou menos balanceados. A minha maior brochada foi esse rei joker. Que bosta.

| 12/11/2026 | Разработчики представили релизный трейлер 9 Kings — необычной стратегии с элементами рогалика и строительства королевства. Игра получила полноценную версию 1.0 и стала доступна на новых платформах, включая мобильные устройства. В 9 Kings игрокам предстоит построить собственное королевство и превратить его в могущественную империю, способную противостоять другим правителям. Для этого необходимо развивать владения, собирать армию и участвовать в масштабных сражениях с соперниками. Главная особенность игры — огромное количество возможных комбинаций построек, войск и улучшений. Разработчики обещают тысячи вариантов развития, позволяющих создавать совершенно безумные стратегии и находить способы буквально ломать привычный баланс игры. Релизный трейлер демонстрирует стремительное развитие королевств, масштабные битвы и разнообразные комбинации, благодаря которым даже небольшая армия может превратиться в практически непобедимую силу. Полная версия 9 Kings уже доступна на PC в Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG и Xbox на PC, а также на Android и iOS. Игра также вошла в каталог подписки PC Game Pass. |
| 12/11/2026 | It's time, everyone. 9 Kings has officially left Early Access and launched into 1.0! To celebrate, we're offering a 50% launch discount. Whether you're returning to build your next kingdom or jumping in for the first time, check out the 1.0 release trailer below for a look at what's in store. 1.0 releaseWe've come a long way and thanks to your support we've increased the scope of the original game by a huge margin. We couldn't be happier with what 9 Kings is shaping up to become. Here's all the content you can expect in the full game: 1. Four Unique Game ModesI. Singleplayer: break the game in the classic style in dozens of difficulty levels.
II. Multiplayer: fight builds from all over the world and climb the ladder to become the king of kings.
III. Quest Mode: travel across the 9 lands and beat unique challenges as you crack new puzzles.
IV. Joker Mode: a much-requested custom mode that allows you to customize your deck and game rules.
2. 130+ CardsInitially, the game was supposed to have 81 cards, but look at us now: thanks to you, we've managed to expand by 9 Kings more than we could ever imagine. For 1.0, our special card pool keeps growing, and a huge batch of Rainbow cards is here, while also leaving space for other shapes of growth in the future!
3. 140+ DecreesOver 30 new decrees will give you hundreds of new ways to find insane combos. Each king will finally have 9 unique decrees, while universal and rainbow decree counts will settle in multiples of 9.
4. 110+ PerksA total of 9 perks per king, 9 rainbow perks, 9 multiplayer perks, and 18 universal perks. In 1.0, the new multiplayer and universal perks will help us explore new meta mechanics and make sure the game remains 9-aligned.
5. 80+ QuestsQuest mode will gain its final polishing touches and allow for potential future expansion. With one big addition: a brand new daily mayhem spin-off after you unlock all 81 base quests!
6. 300+ Vanity ItemsA huge new batch of vanity items for multiplayer will help you customize (and maybe break) your king's profile in unimaginable ways.
7. Improved GameplayAnimated buildings, new sound effects, new blessings, improved animations, massively enhanced performance, and more QoL requests. If you've been following our development cycle, you know how we take all of it very seriously. 1.0 comes to bring our vision together.
8. The JokerBehold, a new game mode: the Joker introduces a much-requested CUSTOM MODE in the game! That's right: you will now be able to build your own 9-card deck, tweak game rules, and take breaking the game to a whole new level.
9. KingsWe couldn't be more proud of how far we've come and grateful for your support. If you've been since the beginning, you'll remember a year ago 9 Kings only had... 6 kings. Now, we've doubled our original game scope, introducing a bunch of new game modes and yes, 9 Kings. For 1.0, all of them will be in better shape than ever, with necessary balancing tweaks, a huge batch of new decrees, and extra polishing.
Patch Breakdown:The Joker:After you unlock all kings, you'll also unlock the Joker: a special character that allows you to customize your gameplay beyond any restraints. Hand pick your deck, disable events, choose enemy kings, preset gold, lives, and re-rolls. In this sandbox mode, experimentation is the law and anything is possible.

| 07/10/2026 | In this patch, we're introducing several QoL and balance improvements, while also dealing with all remaining known critical bugs! 0.9.8 sets the stage for 1.0 next month, and most of these tweaks are based on our community's input. Make sure to leave your thoughts and report any issues you run into. We'll be on the lookout as always. And, as always, thank you for your support :) 0.9.8:Decree PoolOur main goal with multiplayer is to ensure diversity and avoid stale metas in the game. And with 1.0 around the corner, the decree pool is a key piece of that puzzle. As with rainbow cards, multiplayer now has a new pool of decrees every season. The pool consists of 18 universal decrees, 6 rainbow decrees, and 6 decrees for each king. This change will be more noticeable (and actually helpful for players) once 1.0 is here and the 30+ new decrees are in the game. But for now, we believe it'll already help keep gameplay fresh every season!
You can access the current decree pool in the left bottom corner of the multiplayer lobby, in the same screen you check the season's rainbow cards. Post-game base reviewAfter you finish a multiplayer run, you can now visit your enemies' kingdoms to see their builds. You can also review your own build.

| 15/09/2026 | A new set of rainbow cards is now yours to break the game. A long overdue rework of neglected perks is finally here. Key balancing tweaks will help us make overlooked builds more competitive. Exploits were identified and removed from multiplayer. And of course, QoL, performance improvements, and bug fixes are also in order as always, thanks to your support and constant feedback. We hope you have fun with patch 30! Update 0.9.6:Perk reworkIn this patch, we're tweaking several perks. Besides buffing some neglected perks, we also replaced some effects so they'd synergize with the card's effects in more interesting ways. Perks like Arcane and Sorcerous, for example, now interact with the Wizard and Warlord's passive abilities instead of just adding mindless 10% initial stat buffs.
NEW:
BIG REWORK:
BUFFS:
Rainbow cards!We had a massive problem up until today: our current number of rainbow cards was not a multiple of 9. Now, we finally have a total of 27 unique rainbow cards to make the game more diverse than ever. As always, we tried to fill in gaps of different card types with ideas that we always wanted to explore but that couldn't really fit a base deck. We hope you have fun exploring all of them.
Rainbow decrees!Besides the perks and cards, we're also introducing three new rainbow decrees.
Rainbow & Chaos CompendiumYou can now view Rainbow and Chaos cards you've used before in the Compendium screen. But only those you've used before. Catch 'em all to complete your compendium!
Regional RankingsYou can now check out how you compare to your neighbors in the multiplayer regional rankings!
Year 99 flowThis is a small tweak, but it was long due and deserves a quick note: you probably already noticed that there's no novelty in a run after year 99. That's because year 99 is the true ending of the game, while the intended experience was always meant to be 33 years. You also never got any EXP after year 99. So now we made some tweaks to make this information clear: once you beat year 99, you're hit with the result screen, where you get a final victory screen and can see your actual performance. You can still choose to keep playing after that for as long as you like, but the disclaimer is now much more straightforward. To be clear: game design was not changed at all with this updated, we just updated the messaging. Expect cooler victory animations in 1.0! Balancing

| 28/08/2026 | Hey everybody! The 9 Kings devs have been hard at work working towards the 1.0 update with a new large patch that brought several meaningful changes to 9 Kings. This patch brought design changes inspired by player feedback, new QOL features, more balancing tweaks, and, as always, addressed bugs. Check out the full Round Up below to get a quick look at Patch #29. 9 Kings is also part of the the Hooded Horse August Publisher Sale at 50% off. Check it out, and check out the other games on sale during the Hooded Horse August Publisher Sale. Hooded Horse August Publisher Sale ![]() 9 Kings News RecapPatch #29 is the newest patch to come to 9 Kings and includes new cards, new features, better QoL, and more fixes. Let's get into it! The largest change to come in this patch was the card, perk, and decree reworks, which added, rebalanced, and reimagined the decks from the King of Blood, Progress, Stone, Greed, and Rainbow primarily, with smaller changes made to other Kings' decks. These changes are all inspired by player recommendations and feedback, especially when it came to cards, decrees, or perks that were unused and seen as poor picks by the community. The main goal in this major rework is to make 9 Kings equally fun no matter how you choose to play. ![]() This patch also brings improvements to battle pathfinding. Troops will now be distributed more evenly on the battlefield and will clump together less often. Pre-battle troop placement has also been improved, which not only improves clarity when watching a fight but helps improve balance further. ![]() Other improvements in this patch include a new trash card category which will nest certain cards, an improved tutorial, and increased clarity in multiple areas of the game. We can't cover every single change made in this roundup, so make sure to check out the full patch notes here for the full story. Thanks for reading, and happy gaming! ~ The Hooded Horse Team |

| 29/07/2026 | 1.0 update is on the way but we still have time for more major updates before that and we couldn't be more pumped. In this patch, we're making several meaningful design improvements based on your feedback. Our ultimate goal for 9 Kings is that you have fun no matter how you choose to play. This means we want to get rid of any F-tier cards/decrees and make sure every mechanic in the game is comprehensible. With the data we've gathered over the last 12 months, we're now implementing big changes we believe will be undeniable improvements across the board, always keeping simplicity and fun in mind. We're also adding several new QoL features, implementing new balancing tweaks and addressing bugs as usual. TL;DR: New cards, new features, better gameplay. Let's go. 0.9.5 patch:Card reworkBlood Deck:

Other Deck Improvements:
Battle pathfindingIn this patch, we've drastically improved battle pathfinding! Troops will now be distributed more evenly on the battlefield and "clusterization" of troops will occur much less often. Troop placement before the battle begins was also heavily improved. This not only makes battles more aesthetically pleasing but also drastically improves clarity and balancing.
Game optimizationEnchantments like Static and Smite were considerably optimized. Invisibility and targeting are more efficient. Battle FXs were also considerably optimized. Trash cardsWe created a proper "trash card" type. This category will nest cards like Broken Cabulators, Temp Nulls, Broken Gachas, Spare Change, and the new Bone Pile. Tutorial revampIf you're reading this, you probably already know how to play 9 Kings. But let your newcomer friends know the tutorial has been completely revamped! It's now much more detailed, accessible, and overall... it just looks better.
The PitThe pit is something that's been awfully underused until this patch, and we believe the new cards we're adding today will create whole new strategies to play the game. You can expect more updates where we'll add decrees and other mechanics to make it an interesting play style for those who want to test it out. Gameplay clarity

After downloading the patch, please start a new run, as your previous run won’t have the updates stored and they may cause conflicts. If you experience any issues, please email us at report@sadsocket.com Dev notes:On the blood deck: Our main goal with those changes is to make sure that the Blood deck has better synergies within itself, enabling new potential strategies while also offering cards that can be valuable to any other king. Oblation is a very cool card that will help make the pit a more interesting mechanic throughout the game while also creating very strong synergies with the King of Blood and other decks. We're also excited to see new destruction strategies being explored with the new synergy with Pagodas and the passive mechanic from Cemeteries. Important: Oblation is replacing Vampirism. After studying a lot of data, we realized that Vampirism was not an effective card and also didn't really integrate well into a diverse set of builds, like we want all cards to. Long story short, a healing card wasn't really matching with a death-focused deck. We're adding a new Enchantment to fill the void left by Vampirism, and don't worry: Vampires might still make a come back with a more interesting design in another form. On the Progress deck: We paid close attention to the community here and learned that Precision was the least used card in the game as of today. We believe that the current decks lack proper combos to make it work, making Precision loose in a deck that doesn't really synergize with it. That's why Recycler is taking its place. We believe Recycler fills a few voids that are gonna make King of Progress more interesting: it enables completely new strategies (diversifying the meta), unlocks new synergies with pit cards and other kings, and adds one support building to his deck. We'll keep studying to implement new crit mechanics to the game in the future. As for the old Reinforce: someone might say that the card was functional with Lab Rats, but that was its problem: its limited use cases. As mentioned above, the core idea behind 9 Kings is to make every card synergize in as many unexpected ways as possible, and we felt that previous iteration of Reinforce only led to dead ends. We will keep working to add a new Enchantment with an interesting passive effect to the game. On everything else: We've been trying to address as many community requests as possible in the last few months. The good news is that many of those were already aligned with what we had planned in our roadmap, which made our job much easier. There are still several improvements to be made, new cards and decrees to be added, and a few other surprises on the way. Please keep the feedback coming. We'll keep polishing the game, balancing everything, and making 9 Kings as fun as it can be. Coming nextWe're moving full speed ahead, and our eyes are locked on the 1.0 release. We'll keep working hard to bring new content and balance the game. We'll be back with more news soon.

Sabotage was added as a new event in year 25, allowing players to eliminate an enemy king from their run forever in multiplayer. Allowing players to clear annoying enemies and giving them more tools to strategize with in each run. Fun rainbow card changes and additions were also made in this patch, adding the rainbow rotation and a rotating set of 9 rainbow cards that change each season!

| 26/06/2026 | In this patch, we're introducing several QoL and balancing improvements. We've been taking notes of all the suggestions you've been giving us and we're stoked to be able to share some of them with you today! 0.9.3:Perk build slotsYou can now store three separate perk configurations for each king. This has been a community request for a long time and it will make experimentation smoother and more fun.
Decree ReworksIt was about time to do a second pass on some decrees that have been around for a while but felt a bit underwhelming. Our ultimate goal is to make every decree equally powerful in the right context.
Clearer statsThis also has been a consistent request and it has been on our pipeline for a while: we're improving our UIs to give more detailed information on different elements of the game. Our vision for 9 Kings was always to make sure the game remains simple with a minimalistic design. But we want to make sure all elements are super clear and that, if you're the kind of player that does want some extra details, you're able to get that as well.

You can check this season's pool by clicking on the deck on the bottom left corner of the multiplayer menu.
New rainbow cards!To celebrate the new season and the rotation system... we're adding 3 brand new Rainbow cards to the game!
Casual play!Tired of the pressure of having your rank at stake every run? We got you. You can now turn casual mode on to play without any stress. In this mode, you won't gain or lose rank points nor medals. To turn the mode on, click the checkbox on the right bottom corner of the multiplayer menu. Kingly rankings!Ever wondered who's the best King of Time in the world? Now you'll know. The Kingly Rankings will give you more reasons to compete, try new kings, and reach for glory. Click the arrows in the rankings to switch leaderboards. This ranking will only register the points you've earned with the king in question.
A new season beginsA new multiplay season has just begun. As we've explained before: new season means all King rank points are reset.

| 01/06/2026 | 9 Kings has been popping off lately, launching three new patches in just the last few weeks. From a patch focused on balancing quest mode to the long-awaited multiplayer update, the development of 9 Kings is in full bloom with lots of new changes, features, and balance changes. Join us for the full roundup below! 9 Kings is also part of the Hooded Horse May Publisher Sale at 55% off. Check it out, and the other games on sale during the Hooded Horse May Publisher sale. Hooded Horse May Publisher Sale ![]() 9 Kings News RecapPatch #23 focused heavily on balancing, quest difficulty, and preparing for the multiplayer update! There is now an option to select the difficulty of quest mode:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2784470/view/502856256328827989 Patch #24 brought one of the biggest changes 9 Kings has ever seen! This update introduces multiplayer, a new way to play that has been heavily requested by the game's community. Multiplayer mode is a new asynchronous experience where you fight against nine other players and their kingdoms. This update keeps the core spirit of 9 Kings intact, allowing you to play at your own pace while facing new, interesting, and intense runs. This update makes a bunch of other changes and additions:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2784470/view/677372009606284435 Building on the momentum from the multiplayer update, Patch #25 continued improving the multiplayer experience. Multiplayer perks were added to continue diversifying the multiplayer experience. These replace rainbow perks with unique perks to use in multiplayer. It also made some tweaks to the calendar in multiplayer, and rebalanced how the calendar interacts with this new mode. Rest assured that unlocks will be permanent, and your current ranks will not be erased. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2784470/view/701017176467834070 Thanks for reading, and enjoy taking down your friends in multiplayer! ~ The Hooded Horse Team |
| 30/05/2026 | You've given your feedback, we've studied the data, and a big improvement is coming to multiplayer today. In this patch, we'll tweak some key design decisions on the multiplayer loop to game the game more fair and straightforward. We restructured a few things, keeping the core of what was working and improving what wasn't. As always, we're also adding new QoL features and fixing reported issues! 0.9.1:A better multiplayer flowOne of the things we heard the most in this first week of Multiplayer was the lack of clarity on the interactions between you and your enemies. The other was questions about fairness regarding year 33 and The Angel battle. Our main goal is to make things more fair and to make sure people understand exactly what it takes to win a game. And with that in mind we're introducing a new loop that we're really excited about.
Here's how the new flow works:
We believe those changes will make multiplayer runs feel much more fair and straightforward. You're in control of who you defeat and how you defeat them. Diplomacy and king re-rolls will play a much bigger role in this new model, as you can now adjust your strategy to take down kings or avoid them until the last minute. Not to mention the new ending will solve all the current current issues with year 33.
Streak pointsYou will now gain bonus rank points if you finish first two or more runs in a row. This will help new advanced players climb the ladders faster. Improved cheating preventionWe analyzed over 100.000 runs and implemented new filters that should be addressing several issues with cheaters. People can't ALT+F4 their way out of losing rank points anymore either. A new season beginsEach season is intended to last 9 days. But with this big changes, we felt it'd be only fair to give everyone a fresh start. As we've explained before: new season means all King rank points are reset. That levels the playing field so that anyone has a shot at reaching the top 9 in the next season. Congrats to the top 9 of this season! You've all won a profile badge that will last forever.

After downloading the patch, please start a new run, as your previous run won’t have the updates stored and they may cause conflicts. If you experience any issues, please email us at report@sadsocket.com Some notes on our vision for MultiplayerWe've been super stoked with the overwhelmingly positive reactions we've been getting with the new game mode. Thank you so much! But of course, we've also gotten a few other questions, requests and complaints, and we'd like to address them here so that you know our thoughts with transparency. 1. On async: Some people might not be familiar with this term, but it's a key part of our game design. Async multiplayer means you're fighting against "ghosts" of real players who played before you. It's a very common kind of multiplayer on strategy games. This system is perfect for 9 Kings due to the single player nature of the game. We want players to have the time to think and make insane moves. We don't want people to have to wait for a play where your enemy drew 30 cards. We want our servers to handle hundreds of thousands of units battling in real time. The current design protects the core of 9 Kings we've always envisioned and mixes things we love about both single player and multiplayer games. A live PVP service means making a new game from scratch. Programming wise, design wise, server capabilities wise. A game that just isn't... 9 Kings. This is not to say that in the future, after the 9 Kings is a complete game, we couldn't explore a new project with that nature. But our only goal as of today is to make the 9 Kings you know the best game it can be. 2. On playing with friends: We're working to implement features that will allow more ways to interact with your friends in multiplayer. 3. On multiplayer difficulty: This week we went from 1000 to 50.000 players on multiplayer. We couldn't be happier, but it's important to understand that this means the game might be harder as there's more competition. We know fighting against some OP builds can be frustrating. And we're working hard to balance the ladders and filter out outliers so that everyone can have fun. There is a system in place that filters out the most OP runs from matchmaking (the % varies according to rank). The more people play, the more the ranks will adjust themselves. We'll keep finessing the filters to make things fun for everyone. 4. On King rank: King rank is intended to be our version of a pro-level ELO competition. This means it will be ruthless, and the more people join the game and get better at it, the harder it will become. Like on most multiplayer games, this is a rank intended for 1% of the player base, and we hope you understand you might enjoy yourself more at Prince rank, for example. The reason 9 kings has 9 ranks, besides the running joke with the number 9, is the very intentional fact that we wanted there to be a rank for all kinds of players. We will be adding new leaderboards soon so that everyone has something to look forward to and the means to reach royal glory. 5. On bots: There are no bots playing against you. All runs you face were played by real players. There never were and there never will be bots in our matchmaking. Believe us, it'd be much harder for us to implement a consistent bot system than to load your snapshots, haha. Coming nextNew content for all game modes! This week marks one year of 9 Kings EA release. And we promise you it'll be our only EA birthday. We're moving full speed ahead, and our eyes are locked on the 1.0 release. We'll keep working hard to bring new content and balance the game. Expect big updates for ALL game modes. We'll be back with more news soon.

| 26/05/2026 | Multiplayer is just out. And now our goal is to spend the next days gathering feedback and fleshing everything out as fast as we can. This week also marks one year of 9 Kings EA release! And even though there was a patch yesterday, we just had to bring you another one today. So here it goes! 0.9.0.2:Multiplayer perksAfter watching hours of live streams and analyzing our data, we've decided to improve the multiplayer perk system in a very simple way: instead of rainbow perks, you'll have access to unique multiplayer perks. Multiplayer perks play the same role as the rainbow perks you know. But you'll only see those that are compatible with this game mode. And they're all unlocked for everyone from day one.
Here's why this is good:
Multiplayer calendar tweaksThanks to the nature of the diplomacy mechanics in Multiplayer, we were able to tweak the calendar a bit, and we believe it can lead to some interesting outcomes.
Your unlocks are permanentYou might've seen a notice saying that your unlocks might be erased during the current stage of multiplayer. Your unlocked items and your current rank will not be erased and are permanent.

Fixes: We'll also be addressing as many reported bugs as we can on all game modes asap. New content: After that, you can also expect new matchmaking updates (such as a casual option to be matched with your Steam friends async profiles) and new content for both single player & multiplayer modes! Issues with the server in RussiaWe just learned that Russia has blocked access to Cloudflare, which is making our servers unreachable for players in the country.

| 25/05/2026 | Async. Multiplayer. PVP. The much awaited new game mode is officially here! Multiplayer Mode introduces a massive new way to play 9 Kings. Fight players head to head on async battles and experience the core game experience of the game while being challenged like never before. Fighting against players from all over the world, you will face endless new challenges and will need to reinvent all you know about your 9 Kings strategies in an ever-changing world of enemies. Seriously, we're super stoked about this patch. This is our most ambitious update yet and we're really looking forward to the next chapters of this journey. Together we hope we can make this a huge chapter that will make 9 Kings bigger than ever! :) Anyway, with no further ado... Patch 0.9: Multiplayer⚔️ Async PVP battles 👑 Fight against 9 real kings armies (and kingdoms!) 💪 Climb 9 ladders, reach the top 9, and become the king of kings. 🥸 Fully customize your king with 99+ vanity items. 🏅 Complete daily missions for extra points.
Here's the full breakdown of what you can expect from this brand new game mode: Async PVPIn this new game mode, we have 9 kings from all over the world fighting to find out whose kingdom lasts longer. But only one can climb up the ranks and become the king of kings. The PVP dynamic creates a fresh and totally new way to play 9 Kings. Be ready for short & intense runs and insane match ups. An async experience means we're keeping the core spirit of 9 Kings intact, and allowing you to play at your own pace while also changing the game's challenges entirely. You will be facing players who played before you, under the same conditions, and the same rank. You will be matched with players in the same level as you, making it a challenging competitive experience for all kinds of players. But be prepared: this game mode will really test your skills like never before. In Multiplayer, you'll experience a different kind of battle: Your base card now has HP. You'll start with 5 cards. Diplomacy is made when a king dies. You won't lose lives in the first 3 years (Mulligans). And much more.
Competitive LaddersClimb your way through 9 ranks, become one of the top 9 players, and reach ultimate 9 Kings glory. The different ladders will offer a competitive, engaging, and fluid experience. But we designed it in a way you can fun regardless of your ambitions. We'll be paying close attention to the ladder balancing in the coming days and we look forward to see what will come out of it!
Customizable KingsA Punk King of Nothing? An afro King of Greed? A pirate King of Nature? Customize your own avatar and the 9 Kings in ways you never thought would be possible. With the medals you get from multiplayer battles, you will unlock 99+ unique vanity items and victory tracks (more to come!). We had so much fun with this and we hope you do to.
Daily MissionsGet extra motivation to get to battle with daily missions. Those will keep runs fresh and fun, motivate you to get new achievements and diversify your play style, and give you bonus medals to unlock new items!
A new boss, an epic endingIf you're one of the few to make it to year 33, you will face the final showdown. And a foe more powerful than any other. There's no running from him, but you can test your might like never before and keep the score! The final battle works as a tie break between the kings who endured that far, and is intended to keep runs dynamic and fresh. Oh, and if you reach year 33, you'll earn +3 bonus medals! Unlocking the new game modeTo unlock multiplayer, all you need is to have played the base game 9 times. This is very intentional, as multiplayer requires basic knowledge of the game and its kings. Like Quest Mode, there is a learning curve. And though you can just jump in after 9 games if you feel like it, we recommend understanding the basics of the game before joining. It's gonna be fun, we promise! Overall improvementsAs always, this patch comes with more important tweaks to the game. See below: Balancing & Gameplay:
QoL & Fixes:
*Developer noteWhenever we drop a big patch like this, I try to talk a little bit about our ambitions and vision for the game. So here we go! We think Multiplayer mode can be a massive addition to 9 Kings, making it more replayable, shareable, and engaging than ever while also retaining its essence. Async design means we were able to mix strengths of what we like the most about 9 Kings and multiplayer games. A year ago, most people wouldn't think that blend would be possible (ourselves included!) and yet here we are. And we couldn't be more stoked. Please bear in mind: this is an EA version, so you can expect a lot of tweaks, balancing decisions, and bug fixes as we learn with your help. We wanted to be bold with the design of this game mode and this means some things might be broken (that was always the nature of 9 Kings, after all). Of course, it's just the start. We hope you give it a shot and let us know your thoughts. And for those who are not interested in multiplayer, we have two notes: first, consider giving it a shot, you might be surprised! And second, single player will keep getting all the love it deserves as the core 9 Kings experience. Expect new content & big community requests being addressed very soon. We intend to improve everything in the coming weeks. You can expect balancing patches, more content, QoL, and polishing ahead of 1.0. After downloading the patch, please start a new run, as your previous run won’t have the updates stored and they may cause conflicts. If you experience any issues, please email us at report@sadsocket.com.

| 04/02/2026 | It's time for a major patch in 9 Kings. One that will address things a lot of you have been asking for, expand the world even further, and introduce a definitive Endless Mode experience. We took our time to rework core backend features to improve performance, and we hope you like it! The Jack of ChaosComing from the depths of the realm of Endless Chaos, the Jack of Chaos is ready to invade 9 Land. Frustrated for never having been granted a crown of his own, this powerful Jack swore to wreak havoc on the real kings. The Jack of Chaos stole cards from all other kingdoms and made his own unique deck. A deck of corrupted cards that will help you take Endless Mode to a new level. Once you reach year 34, be ready to face him. A brand new deck of cardsOnce you get to Endless Mode, the Jack of Chaos will be among your enemies. And with him, a new deck. The Chaos deck is a spin-off of some fan favorite cards. Those spin-offs are especially powerful and designed for Endless Mode, a moment of the game where power is compounded, plots are taken, and paths are already written. 14 new Tomes will keep Endless Mode fresh and give players a new set of choices to shake things up.
A spin on the base gameThe core experience of 9 Kings consists of 33 years. This is always going to be the core design of the game and everything that comes next. But we know many people enjoy Endless Mode, and we wanted to give it some love. The main goal of this patch is to give people new things to look forward to on their quest toward year 99, and we hope you have fun with it! Performance overhaulThis is big. And long overdue. 9 Kings is now more unbreakable than ever, and there's no better time to do a stress test than with an Endless Mode patch. We restructured how troop animations are processed and bundled some processes in the very late game. This update is a real game changer: we have successfully built armies of 99,999+ units on multiple systems. And though hardware limitations will always be a thing, we believe 9 Kings' performance is roughly 5x more solid than in the previous patch.
Chaos decrees9 Chaos decrees were added to the game. This new category of corrupted decrees will start appearing after year 33 and will give you trickier choices, especially designed with late game scenarios in mind. Ultimate bossesFace the Champions of Chaos. New bosses that you'll have to top on year 66 and 99. *Up next, we'll also be adding some cool death & win animations to all bosses. Full controller supportYes, it is here. This is also a long overdue feature, and we hope you have fun. I personally love playing 9 Kings on my couch and have been having a lot of fun using the controller. Please give us your input on your experience. Strategy games and controllers are known to have a bumpy relationship, but we're cracking that code. We're finessing things and will continue to implement QoL features to make controller support as smooth as possible. 3 new Rainbow cardsIf you're not into Endless mode or controllers, here's a little treat: there are 3 new Rainbow cards to keep new strategies coming. More gamebreaking Rainbow cards are also coming soon! QoL & Fixes

But our next massive milestone is Ranked Mode (working title). We don't want to tell you much about it yet, but as we have shared before, this new game mode might take 9 Kings to a whole new level.

I wanted to wrap up this patch note with a very sincere message. This month we surpassed 1 million copies sold. Not even in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be writing this here, but: thank you so freaking much. Over the last 12 months you literally changed our lives forever, and we'll keep working hard to give back what you've given us. This is just the start.
