Reigns: Her Majesty Reviews

Great game! But possible technical issue

Is my screen supposed to flash wildly when the All-Mother appears?

Sure, the game is ok if you have a few minutes of free time but it’s nothing special. Eventually based off your decisions, your reign ends and you die. I wish instead of giving you 2 cards with the same outcome (you die), one of the cards saves you from death. At least it would keep the game from being so redundant.

Too meta for its own good

ElChipoMaldito

This game is fun but misses the mark on a few things - mainly on the pacing of the player experience and on the evolution of the story. The game can be very funny and is at its best when it’s not trying to be cryptic. I just wanted to play the game where I am the queen and am put in interesting situations, but the game kept getting in its own way. When it started getting all meta it lost me. In addition, I wonder how much playtesting was actually done, as I found myself several times in situations that felt like dead ends (they had low probability and/or cryptic solutions). The emphasis seems to have been put in the narrative, at the expense of the actual game/puzzle design, leading to far too many situations where I felt like I was making no progress at all. There is a “fail safe” mechanic that in theory allows you to manipulate your play through to achieve a higher chance of specific events occurring but it is tedious, hard and sloppy to use. I would say the devs missed the mark on making a better Reigns, so I recommend you see this as a weird experiment done with the Reigns system, not as Reigns 2.

Lacking

The game is executed well but it’s not what I expected based off of reviews and category from the App Store. What I want people to know is this game is not an rpg. This is not about making decisions and role playing it is a meter management game where you can basically ignore the story because winning and losing rely completely on managing 4 meters that increase or decrease based on decisions. Te decisions are presented to you through a rng card mechanic that no matter what you decide can end in your death based on how low or high your meters are. It does not reward making decisions that seem “best” but rather what satisfies the meters. All in all I found the game to be disappointing and I didn’t enjoy it past the first hour or so. It’s just a slew of death after death when you follow a role playing play style. This game is definitely a strategy game and a very limited and repetitive one. I’m sure this game has appeal to a lot of people but I have played hundreds of phone games and this just didn’t do it for me.

Doesn’t go anywhere

Game is repetitive and kind of aimless. Some of the objectives I could never seem to accomplish and others I did without knowing what they were. Queen turnover can be accidental and frustrating or you can last as the same queen for a while, balancing all the meters and still not really get anything done. Left me feeling hopeless

Seems a little sexist

I would have preferred a game that was more empowering for women. She has to worry about her philandering husband and court etiquette and whatnot.

Addictive

I got this game after watching a review and getting totally sucked in. It’s even more addictive to play. It’s a lot of fun to try and complete objectives but also actually survive. Would totally recommend this to anyone who likes Choose Your Own Adventure stories.

Amazing Game!

This is one of the best games I have ever played! It’s a little bit difficult to balance the 4 pillars of your kingdom (church, people, defense, money) but that’s what makes the game so interesting to play. You have to be able to make smart choices in order to carry out the different storylines. ⭐️To all of the people out there that think this game is bad because it’s “too complicated” or “Totally random” or “satanic garbage”, why don’t you try using your brains? This game has a wonderfully written storyline, you just have to be smart enough to figure it out. Yes, you may die in the game a lot, but isn’t that the point? It’s a decision based game, so if you aren’t smart enough to make the good decisions in game then you shouldn’t complain. Plenty of other people have figured it out.⭐️ Also, finding out how to upgrade all of your items to get some really cool endings was fun. Other than (probably just me) not being able to figure out the first death (in the top left corner listed in-game), this is overall an amazing game and I would recommend it to everyone who loves a good challenge.
