Green Man Gaming Publishing is thrilled to announce that a huge free content update is available today for Kainga: Seeds of Civilization, the wonderful roguelite village-builder from solo developer, Erik Rempen. Fans can also pick up Kainga with an amazing 30% discount on Steam until 29th June.
The Life of Spice update brings balance changes, hundreds of fixes and quality of life improvements to the beautiful world of Kainga, not to mention a plethora of new content including:
Map Modifiers – New variations of every map will shake up your strategy and make the map’s priorities change. Pictured above is the acidic water modifier on the Pebbles. You can no longer fish, and wells will be filled with acid. Be Careful!
“B-Sides” of Thinkers – Alternative sides of each Thinker can be unlocked with a new starting loadout, passive, bonus, and of course festivals. These Thinkers are intended for advanced players and can really shake things up!
Nomads – Introducing nomads was something many players wanted to see. These nomadic tribes will wander across your map on boats, balloons, walkers or other creatures and really make the world alive!
New Festivals – With the addition of the new Thinkers, new festivals had to come too! Each festival is changed dramatically and the results are powerful and specific. Enjoy!
New Challenges – 3 of the festivals added are new challenges! There is a blastpowder-based arena, a construction challenge to build a long line of archways, and an alternative rescue challenge where you are the one with the cage and have to protect it!
New Quest Lines – To introduce these new challenges, dozens of new quests have been added, allowing for the unlock of each Thinker’s B-Side and their new memory slots, which will remain independent.
Also included is the Polish Language thanks to one dedicated member of the community!

Welcome to the mystical world of Kainga! Magical lands full of wonder and beauty, where strange other-worldly beasts roam. Take control of a Thinker and grow your village into a thriving civilization, adapting and surviving against all odds.
Can you master the beautiful but dangerous lands of Kainga?
Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is a unique roguelite-inspired village-builder. Instead of a long-winded city-builder, Kainga is played in short 30-90 minute “runs” where you complete challenges to keep unlocking new maps, Thinkers and unusual technologies.
You play as a Thinker, the village leader, who has to explore the world to find sources of inspiration to discover new technologies to grow your town. Choosing the right technologies that fit your town’s needs, the environment, the challenge and your playstyle is the key to success.
Features:
- Build, Adapt, Survive – As the Thinker you must use your knowledge of Kainga to lead your tribe, learn through trial and error how to adapt to your surroundings and develop a village that can flourish while protecting your Thinker at all costs. Each Thinker has their own strengths, weaknesses and playstyle.
- Encounter Mysterious and Dangerous Creatures – Colossal creatures can be found lurking throughout Kainga’s varied biomes, often hidden in the sea or deep underground. Learn to live in harmony with them, tame them and add them to your economy or use their strength in combat against your rivals.
- Explore Beautiful and Threatening Lands – Discover what the 8 unique biomes have to offer, each with its own environment and challenges to overcome. Lead your tribe to adapt and survive across barren deserts, tropical archipelagos, icy mountains, lush jungles and some of the most unusual landscapes in any city-builder.
- Pick up the Pieces and Try Again – Death is not the end. Learn from your failures and begin again in a new world. Between games you’ll be able to use Karma to unlock new biomes, technologies, and Thinkers. Expand your knowledge of the world of Kainga to increase your chances of success in the future!
Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is now available via Steam for £14.99 / €16.99 / $19.99.
