About this game
The king is dead! And he left you the worst empire ever.
The economy is failing, disasters never seem to stop, and the people are losing hope. Because, well.. the king who just died was garbage.
Garbage King is a turn-based resource management and strategy roguelike with a twist;
Instead of actually building an empire, you are given one! Your job is simply to keep this empire on its feet.
You are the empire's last hope. So..
Fix the economy,
Gather resources,
Construct buildings,
Manage the army
and most importantly,
Get rid of the disasters that don't seem to be leaving this empire alone!
Each turn brings more disasters that force you to adapt, balance limited resources, and make difficult decisions. Will you save the empire... or become another Garbage King?
