Lordz io – It Did Not Go According to Plan
I opened Lordz io thinking, “Nice, a chill little medieval browser game.”
Ten minutes later I was screaming at my screen because some guy named xxDarkOverlordxx wiped out my entire kingdom while I was admiring my cute little towers.
That pretty much sums up the experience.
Lordz io is one of those deceptively simple .io games where you start tiny and try to become terrifying. You spawn as a small lord with a handful of coins and zero power. Your job? Build an army, grab gold, and dominate everyone else before they dominate you.
Sounds easy. It is not easy.
So What Do You Actually Do?
You run around collecting gold from mines. Gold is everything. No gold, no army. No army, no kingdom. No kingdom… well, back to the respawn screen.
With gold, you:
Recruit soldiers and archers
Build houses (so you can recruit more troops)
Place towers to defend your stuff
It starts calm. Peaceful, even. You’re just gathering coins and building a tiny medieval suburb.
Then you notice another player nearby.
That’s when the paranoia begins.
