A fun simple game.

I do like this game, it’s great for a casual experience. The animation is good and the premise very simple. You have four indications and are presented with two choices that can affect them either positively or negatively, drop to low and you die. The goal is to reign for as long as possible. Very straight forward. This game is not an story of character driven experience, it’s basically randomly generated encounters. Basically a card game with new situations and encounters being created each play but no real continuity. That said, it does have some charming humor and light hearted silliness, but it does have one thing that could be improved which could VASTLY IMPROVE GAMEPLAY, plus would make me give it 4-5 stars if they could update it with this. They need to color code or in some way indicate how a decision will impact a section positively or negatively, as it stands now all it tells you is which area will be affected and by how much, not (and very importantly) if it will decrease or increase that section. I’ve lost many times because I couldn’t tell if the decision was going to make an area I was already low on increase or decrease. It’s also not always intuitive so you may think it would logically result in a positive reaction but can just as easily result in a negative reaction that could be enough to make you lose the game. As a result, it prevents you from developing a strategy or at least tactically dealing with things as they come up. That one thing right there makes the game not live up to its potential. There are other mechanics and ideas that they could incorporate as others have suggested but I think one as simple as mine could really improve game play and is a minor tweak. If you made it this far in the review then I think you will know whether this game is for you or not. It’s an “ok” casual iOS game to kill time but could be better with just some minor improvements.


A compelling experience reducible to decision trees

In a simplistic determined model of interactions. The game reign shines as it provides a curious insightful narrative woven in a game mechanic that is essentially commentary on how simple and discriminatory some of our most popular relational (speaking of Tinder) institutions are. In this game the ability to control relationships is turn upside down. The volition and powers the NPC have end up controlling you. Your only chance of survival is routinely memorizing patterns for swiping and prompts to succeed at a certain narrative branch. Once a branch is complete, it only opens up more. Pivotal concepts in this conversation are life, death, control, and legacy.


Great and fun game for history lovers!

I've only had this game for one night and I'm already in love with it! What a neat concept, to effectively play as a dynasty of kings! One that could last for over 1,000 years, as mine did! I could hardly tear myself away. It seems random and a little repetitive, but life can be like that, even for kings. You start in the early 7th century, and I made it past the turn of the 21st century. Every choose you make affects your kingdom, and while there are several ways to lose your throne (and your life), is IS possible to get a good ending! Cool idea, that you can play as all these kings, even if it is a little anachronistic to have a medieval style court long past that era. Try it- you won't regret it!


If I could refund,

Sayint Black

If I could get a refund of this game I would cuz after few hours of playing, I dont feel like playing it again. Sure I had fun for the first two hours but for this price? Not fair.


Oddly satisfying

BlueBlox

I’ve had this game on my phone for several months now, I’ve played through several times, and I’ll be damned if there isn’t something that’s still so oddly gratifying that I still play it. You don’t know me, but in my life that’s some longevity. 2 Thumbs up. Now add more content.

Biggest waste of money

Shouldn’t be able to charge for this. Mad I got suckered in to paying for it. Horrible game.


Good game

Thee game is a good game but becomes repetitive if you play often or in long sessions reducing in appeal over time . I feel this could be helped by adding a slightly different style of cards as time goes for different eras. Not new technologies or historical correspondence but new scenarios as the timeline progresses rather than only adding at the beginning or when you meet new characters.
