About this game

King of Kings is a fantasy-themed strategy game released in 1988 for the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System. Developed by Atlus and published by Namco, it centers on rapidly conquering locations by producing numerous units each turn and sending them against enemy forces.

When opposing units meet, a close-up battle graphic shows how the conflict is progressing for both sides. Its strategic style is comparable to games such as Famicom Wars, Advance Wars, and Daisenryaku.
