Last week the latest Xbox Windows Phone game, Kingdoms & Lords, started making its rounds to a few select markets. It would appear the soft release is no more and the new Windows Phone 8 game is now available worldwide.

Kingdoms & Lords is a medieval simulation game where you build up your kingdom, cultivate crops and livestock, train your military, battle a Dark King and conquer neighboring lands.

Kingdoms & Lords is a free Xbox Windows Phone game available for Windows Phone 8 devices. You can pick up your copy of Kingdoms & Lords here in the (opens in new tab) Windows Phone Store.  Our Xbox gaming guru Paul Acevedo is busy testing out the game and will have a review up shortly for Kingdoms & Lords.

Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

  • 1st -looks awesome
  • Sounds fun!
  • It's good, but I can't invite my friends at other platforms. It seems like we can only invite another WP player, which, still not many
  • Are the games on other platforms Xbox Live also? Not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely asking. If not then that explains why you can't play them, but if so then it's odd they're not available.
  • Wordament is also an Xbox Live game, and allows you to play against iPhone and Android users.
  • Yes, but Wordament is Xbox Live on those platforms too, so it can share the same servers. If this game isn't XBL on the other platforms then their servers are incompatible.
  • A stupid move by Microsoft. Never should Xbox branding be on a non-Microsoft system.
  • No, the iOS and Android versions are not Xbox-enabled. That is why there's no cross-platform support. This WP8 version will be able to play with the Windows 8 version when it becomes available though.
  • Thanks, I thought as much.
  • Paul, Tetris Blitz can be played with FB friends, right?
  • Blitz basically uses a Facebook leaderboard system - players don't directly interact with each other. Minor Facebook integration seems like the only true cross-platform social feature that Microsoft allows with Xbox games.
  • It's its rounds, not it's rounds.
  • I'm playing. Add me: IzaacJ on xbl ;)
  • Good to see in wp8. .
  • Game id like to see come to wp is plants vs zombies 2 first one is great second one is more awesome
  • Fonts size too small on my Lumia 920. Hurts my eyes.. @.@
  • The game is releasing on Monday...Does this mean Xbox Live titles won't exclusively launch on Wednesdays anymore?
  • Actually was released, even limited, in the last wednesday...
  • Makes a change to XBL titles not launching at all. Gaming on WP is pathetic. Which is something I never want to believe being the MS fan that I am. But no one can deny it now, it's a joke.
  • I hope we're finally gonna get more gameloft releases!
  • More per week and not only Wednesday.
    I pray to see this happening!! :)
  • Is this an online game?
  • You can play it offline too . This similar to ice age village if you played it except this one has combat feature that allow you to fight and questing like rpg
  • Add me, gamertag : maxipr
  • Add me I Spiritus I
  • It dosn't allow to add people with vertical lines in their names. Please add me to XBL: MrAndMrsSmiff08
  • Add me XBL: ALBATROSS AFS
  • Does anyone else have syncing or achievement issues? I'm missing XBL achievements even though the in game achievement is marked as completed. Also each time I log in it says its out of sync with the data saved on their server.
  • Add me XBL: ALBATROSS AFS
