February 27, 2025— Farlight Games Industry, in partnership with the independent publishing platform indie.io, is proud to announce that Vertical Kingdom has officially launched on Nintendo Switch! This deck-based city-builder challenges players to construct towering settlements, carefully managing resources and stacking buildings ever higher to expand their kingdom.
As ruler of an expanding empire, players must adapt to the land’s limited space, strategically placing structures in a vertical format while managing a deck of building cards. From resource production to grand architectural marvels, every choice matters in creating a thriving city. With a cozy yet deeply strategic gameplay loop, Vertical Kingdom offers a refreshing take on the city-building genre, blending creativity, resource management, and roguelike progression.
Since its PC launch on Steam, Vertical Kingdom has received positive reviews from players who love its addictive card-based mechanics, satisfying vertical construction, and endless replayability. Now, Nintendo Switch players can enjoy the experience anytime, anywhere, whether carefully planning their kingdom in docked mode or stacking sky-high on the go in handheld mode.
Key Features:
- Build Ever Upward – Stack buildings carefully to construct a thriving, sky-high kingdom.
- Card-Based Construction – Strategically manage a deck of building cards to grow your city and adapt to unique challenges.
- Travel and Explore – Travel the land, embark on randomized, roguelite-style expeditions, and build new cities with a fresh card-based building system combined with an intricate resource economy.

- Replayable Roguelike Progression – Experiment with different strategies, unlock new building cards, and push your architectural skills to new heights.
