Kingdom Maker, by Scopely Inc. is a medieval strategy game that can be played on iOS and Android. It is an open-world game focused, unsurprisingly, on various aspects of ruling a kingdom – building up a city, breeding noble dynasties, amassing armies and sending them into war with other kingdoms. Diplomacy is also an option, of course – players have an option to join an alliance, which provide various economic and military benefits.
It is possible to recruit Champions – exceptionally capable people who will lead your armies during battles. Different Champions provide different benefits, so it is advisable to recruit more than just a few – this way, you will be able to choose between them based on the situation you’re dealing with. Some Champions can also improve your kingdom’s industry and economy. Finally, they can be equipped with rare and powerful gear that will boost their abilities even further – and those who get attached to them can customize their appearance.
Unlike many base-building games available on smartphones, Kingdom Maker makes a point to be f2p-friendly, which undoubtedly contributed to its phenomenal 4.9/5 rating on Apple App Store.
Even though it is a smartphone exclusive, it is possible to play Kingdom Maker on PC as well. Follow the guide below for instructions – they will also explain how to play Kingdom Maker on Mac.
Play Kingdom Maker on PC or Mac using Bluestacks
Note: Playing Kingdom Maker on PC or Mac via Bluestacks will allow you to use a keyboard and mouse, however, according to the latest updates, this won’t give you an advantage, as the game uses special separate servers for gamers playing with emulators.
Among the variety of Android emulators, Bluestacks is the most advanced one. Firstly, it is available for both Windows and Mac with full functionality. Secondly, it allows effortless, automatic transition to PC game controls and convenient hot-keys that you are used to from any regular PC game. It provides high performance and graphics in any mobile game even on a relatively weak PC or Mac, as computer processors are usually more powerful than smartphone ones. To run Kingdom Maker on PC or Mac you need to perform these easy steps:

- Open Play Store and sign-in with your Google account.
- Download Kingdom Maker from the catalog and run it.

- Install the game and start playing!
Play Kingdom Maker on PC or Mac using Tenorshare Phone Mirror
Tenorshare Phone Mirror is an application that allows you to control your smartphone from a PC or Mac. You will see your phone’s screen on the computer, and will be able to issue commands with keyboard and mouse. With advanced keyboard mapping abilities, similar to what is offered by Android emulators, you will be able to play Kingdom Maker on PC easily, all while enjoying the precision of PC controls.
This method has an obvious disadvantage – it requires you to have a phone capable of running Kingdom Maker. However, there are several advantages as well. Because the game doesn’t actually run on your computer, the specifications of your PC don’t matter. What’s more, it is unlikely that you will be banned in any game for using this tool – something that might happen while using emulators.
Tenorshare Phone Mirror can be used to control both iOS and Android devices, so unless you have a weak smartphone, this app will be useful to you.
- Download and install Tenorshare Phone Mirror on your PC or Mac computer.

Play Kingdom Maker on M1 (M2, M3) Mac
Note: According to our research, playing Kingdom Maker on an M1 (M2, M3) Mac may cause a temporary or permanent account ban in the game, that is why it is recommended to play with the secondary account or as a guest.
As you may already know, M Macs (latest Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, Mac Mini, iMac) are able to run many iOS apps and games on MacOS. If for apps it can be useful because many iPad and iPhone apps are very advanced and suitable for desktop usage, in gaming this is just magic. M chips (especially M Pro, M Max, M Ultra) are much more powerful than iPhone and iPad chips, in many types of games (shooters, racing) keyboard and mouse (trackpad) controls are much more useful than touch.
To download and play Kingdom Maker on M1 (M2, M3) Mac do the following:
- On your Mac go to Mac App Store and click on your profile in the bottom left corner.
- Under account click iPhone & iPad Apps.
- Download Kingdom Maker on your Mac device and start playing!
Note: not all iOS games and programs support this feature. If you can’t find the game in Mac App Store, it is likely that the game’s developers have decided not to support it.
