Divine Right

Classic turn based strategy for iOS.
Category Price Seller Device
Games $0.99 Stephen Riviere iPhone, iPad, iPod

The land is in turmoil. Choose one of 4 characters (the Duke, the Prince, the Earl or the Baron) and try to conquer the kingdom. Playing against up to 4 unique computer opponents (including the non aligned Scoundrel) or humans via hot seat: your decisions will determine the fate of the kingdom. Battle across randomly generated hex maps, manage your economy, build and upgrade castles and recruit and level custom units to secure your divine right of kingship the old fashioned way- through force of arms!

Gameplay includes:

- Fog of war with three visibility states- unexplored, explored but out of view and visible
- recruit units by choosing from various armor levels and weapons and if the unit will be mounted or foot
- unit ratings include attack, armor, movement and to hit all of which can be increased as desired when the unit gains levels
- units have a hidden view range value determining visible tiles from their current location, driven by their movement range
- units are purchased with gold, reduce castle population slightly and require ongoing war material each turn
- Castle upgrades can be purchased with gold, which increases their max population as well as their defensive stats, visibility range and focus skills
- Castle focus allows you to customize your kingdom by having castles specialize in food, materials, gold or elite military units for increasing benefits as upgrade the castle
- Castles are the center of the economy, producing population, war material and gold as well as recruiting units and healing nearby friendly units
- Recruiting and healing do not occur if the castle is under siege by having an enemy unit adjacent, and the siege will reduce health of the castle
- Forest and hill terrains provide defensive advantages and increased movement cost
- Attacking from multiple sides increases the chance of an enemy retreat/ surrender

Reviews

Great to see a game of this genre hit the iPad and iPhone
JimTheGuru

It's fantastic to see a game like this on this platform. Looking on the forum this appears to be the first release of any game from RiviSoft and it's not a bad effort at all. Hope to see some UI tweaks and I think it could do with a "getting started" section in updates soon.


Fun

Would like to have the menus be a little larger and be able to zoom in on the map a bit closer. Unit icons on map are a bit small and health can be hard to read.


The U in UI stands for "unusually bad"
Rivkadr

This game has great potential, but the UI is comically bad. Keep it on your radar but only get it when they add buttons bigger than your pinky and any kind of on screen help text.


Terrible game
Jdmcgaz

Worst game I have ever purchased. Instructions are useless, it is slow, boxy, movement is shocking. Pity I have to actually award it a star...


Fun, not unlike hex-based board games

The UI is a little rough around the edges, but the AI is very good, and the game is fun. One has a lot of control between balancing economic power and military strength, and there are also fine-level controls for unit construction.


Not Good
McStorym

The economics are puzzling to say the least. As soon as you build one unit, you immediately begin going negative on gold and materials and can no longer build other units. Even if you slide your economics to just focus on gold, you still go negative each turn. As such, the game is useless.


Waste of money....
Il Bonino

Horrible...


Disappointing.
TheDudeAbided

It's clear some work went into this, but it's just a chore to play. Bland windows fully of numbers, more like working spreadsheets than playing a game, made worse by horribly small icons and fonts. The three games I played, I couldn't do more than build one unit, move it around a bit, then watch as the multiple enemy units poured in and ripped me to shreds. Zero in game help for trying to make sense of things.


Diamond in the rough

This is a great hex based strategy game that has some minor interface issues. The biggest being the way you scroll. Instead of dragging you need to tap which makes viewing the maps a pain. Other than that, it a very deep starting game I would recommend to strategy gamers.


Cool old school strategy
Ender2000

This is a fun game with a solid ai. If you like strategy, get it!
