Reigns

Honestly, I find this game to be a lot more engaging than Lapse. I’ve only just started, but the cards are a lot more fun overall, and the game is visually more refined and a total pleasure to look at (and Lapse already was refined and pretty).<br/><br/>That being said, although there’s little reason to access the settings menu, doing so locks the game in landscape mode for me, even with rotation lock enabled/disabled. There’s a line in the settings menu that says Portrait Mode. It says so even when the game is locked in Landscape mode. The text doesn’t seem to be something you can interact with, and the game doesn’t return to portrait even once you exit the settings menu.<br/><br/>That aside, the game’s great so far! Worth the $3 for the bundle with this game and its sequel :)

A great fun title with a medieval backdrop where you play as a king and are give choices on how to govern. The way these choices are presented are given to you by a card where you either swipe left or right with choices on either side. You have 4 different meters that represent you kingdom and will need to keep them balanced based on your choices. Give more power to the Church but less to the military and you might a religious overthrow or maybe you run out of gold from spending too much on upkeep and your royal court exile you…the choices are endless and the results are brutal but see how long you can rule and if you die then you move on to a new king and maybe you govern different. This game is a great amount of fun and very to easy to pick up. Def worth checking out if you are a fan of card games with a more casual approach but still engaging nonetheless &lt;3

This is quite fun at first, but after less than an hour of gameplay I found myself cycling through the same choices over and over and over again. There’s not a lot of strategy involved, as the way impacts are decided (and the severity/strength of those impacts) is almost completely opaque. <br/><br/>I want to like this game a lot more than I do.

The choices don’t make sense. There is barely a storyline. Playing at random without reading the choices plays the same as if you tried to think it out.

So many different stories and scenarios with different achievements

Honestly this game should be free

The game is very interesting I just hate it that instead of knowing how your choices effect the game u literally have to take a chance and hope for the best, it’s not a good game design I hope that changes.

wildly tone deaf with regards to slavery, colonization, and other racially charged topics that require handling with care when depicted in media, especially video games that put the player in the position of the perpetrator. i found it distasteful and uncomfortable
