What if moments in history as we know them didn’t happen, and you could shape it anew?

Set during the tumultuous time of World War I and World War II, Kaiserpunk will present players with layers of strategic gameplay where striking a balance (or not) between using economic power to subdue rivals or sheer military might will set the stage for their cities, regions, and possibly the world.

In Kaiserpunk, players will plan and manage everything for their cities, from layout to citizen morale to organizing supply chains and everything in between. Featuring four different citizen classes, each with their own unique traits and specialties, players will need to weave the intricacies of building, resource management, production chaining, and more into the daily lives of their population to keep up morale and poise themselves for economic and territorial expansion.

Not only will players have to strategize the layouts of their cities, but they’ll also have to keep a keen eye on the worldview. With over 100 regions, players in Kaiserpunk will need to manage their relations with others utilizing diplomacy and trade or, if they so choose, brute force. Players will need to utilize their strategic wit when choosing their commanders as well as dealing with the terrain characteristics of each region. 

Each choice players make will shape the game’s in-depth cause-and-effect system. With hundreds of branching stories and reactive storytelling and gameplay, players will have a fresh experience with every playthrough. As players progress, the game’s evolving chain of events will unfold, directly reflecting the choices they make from the city to the world level.

Independent developer Overseer Games announced a partnership with publisher Elda Entertainment to bring Kaiserpunk to players on March 21, 2025 at $29.99.

Elda Entertainment was founded with the goal of prioritizing the unique needs of management game developers and their communities, offering a bespoke publishing approach that combines expertise, flexibility, community-building, and a long-term vision for the games and their partners.

“We dipped our toes in city builder waters with our previous games, and Kaiserpunk is our next big step, combining city building, management, strategy and a big, open world ready to be conquered. It's been daunting and awesome in equal measure, much like our collaboration with Elda, whose knowledge and experience is exactly what we needed. It's been a blast already and we look forward to working with them for years to come”, Danijel Mihokovic, Lead designer on Kaiserpunk and co-founder of Overseer Games.

“For us, Kaiserpunk is the perfect first step, we're not here to publish just any game—we’re here to champion some of the best management games, ensuring they reach their full potential,” said Sandra Neudinger, CEO and Founder of Elda Entertainment. “Kaiserpunk embodies everything we love about the genre: deep mechanics, creativity, and a world that reacts to the player’s decisions—letting them shape history in their own way. We couldn’t have asked for a better title and developer to launch with.”
