The complete release brings 12 floors, new weapon abilities, and a broader skill tree — while the demo is permanently retired.

Kin and Conquest

Kin and Conquest has moved from early or demo availability into its full, complete release, according to an announcement from solo developer The Fox Knocks.

The demo has been removed alongside the launch. The developer cited the widening gap between the two versions as the primary reason, adding that maintaining separate builds is impractical for a solo project.

What changed

  • 12 floors to explore, each offering three difficulty settings
  • New weapon abilities, described as unique to each weapon type
  • A wider variety of equipment and weapons available for upgrade via resource gathering
  • An extended skill tree compared to what was previously available

The developer also notes that pricing has been adjusted across multiple regions with the intention of making the cost feel equitable globally, though no specific figures are provided in the announcement.

For players who tried the demo, the full release is positioned as a meaningfully different product — the removal of the demo reflects that gap rather than a lack of confidence in the game. Whether the expanded floors and weapon systems deliver on that promise is now for players to judge.
