Trees must be turned into planks, rocks must be cut into stackable stones, sheep must be sheared and their fiber spun into cloth, etc.Ī Kefling's work is never done. All these materials can be harvested by you or your Keflings and turned into building supplies, but it's not as easy as chopping down a bunch of trees and making a house appear. Scattered around the colorful 3D map are natural resources such as pine trees, stones, sheep and patches of precious crystals. And any good contractor will tell you, construction is as much about managing a constant and complex flow of people, materials and components as it is about actually building things. At the opening of the game, you're informed that the poor little blighters need a town built and that you're just the giant for the job. You, the player, are a towering giant with a knack for getting things done the old-fashioned way: delegation. Keflings are just your average medieval villagers who are hopelessly inept at building things. Aside from a lack of Xbox Live Avatars and a smoother framerate, it's basically the same experience. Set in an alternate timeline after World War I, the player controls mech-like vehicles as they try to defend themselves against a race of robotic creatures.Keflings was first released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008, and NinjaBee has now released it as a PC download (for $9.95 as of this writing). Normally priced at $14.99, this 2011 game is a mix of third-person shooter and tower defense genres. The second half of November will see Xbox Live Gold members able to download "Iron Brigade", from developer Double Fine, for free. First released in 2010 and normally priced at $9.99, the game, which lets players build and maintain fantasy towns populated by Keflings, will be free to download from November 1-15. Microsoft's Xbox Wire reveals that the first free game for November will be Ninjabee's 'A World of Keflings'. Today, the company revealed the two titles that will be free for Xbox Live Gold members in November: 'A World of Keflings' and 'Iron Brigade.' A few days ago, Microsoft announced that its Games for Gold program, which offers at least two free downloadable Xbox 360 games a month for paid Xbox Live Gold subscribers, will continue indefinitely.
