This Closed Beta is just a test version currently under development. Developer Ravine Games stated that this is not the complete experience and feedback from players will help shape the game's final direction.

In addition to building, players must also manage leadership, send expeditions, develop trade, and defend the kingdom from external threats.

The gameplay focuses on large-scale strategy.

Unlike traditional city-building games, RAEV: Kingdom on the Distant Shores allows players to develop multiple cities with different roles. One city might focus on commerce, while another specializes in resource extraction or military operations.
