Not a game withtout flaw, still great.

TL;DR If on sale: Good buy. Else: you're probably better off spending your money elsewhere. This game is great. I wouldn't pay the full price though. If you find it on sale for under 10 euro it's a great buy (If you don't mind it being more of a interactive book rather than a game). I liked the story and loved the soundtrack. The spritework is also very nice. It is not without issue however. The game sufferes from being too linear and has occasional minor bugs which do not affect gameplay but are slightly annoying. It is also not well suited for replayability. Another thing which I have found disappointing was the sprites in-game being reused quite commonly. Also, Some of the decisions and general content in-game is quite questionable (mostly regarding your under-age daughters). It's justified by the game being set in a medieval period but it still feels a bit iffy. I don't think it is quite deserving of the 4 star rating I have given it, I would have rather gone for 3.5 stars but that isn't an option here. I therefore I decided to follow the rules of math and rounded the .5 up, hence the rating.

Game of Slavic Thrones, sorta

Got this game on sale (protip: you probably should) and wasn't expecting much aside from some light-hearted kingdom management sim, so I must say that it surpassed my expectations quite well. Without spoiling anywhere near as much as other reviews, be aware that this is the Middle Ages. Dark Medieval Times, quoth Satyricon. Even with a king to enforce the rule of law, life oftentimes remains nasty, brutish and short. In spite of your best efforts and wisest counsel, tragedy is sometimes unavoidable. Keep this in mind before you decide to don the crown, for uneasy hangs the head that wears the crown and this is no flowery, shojo visual novel you're dealing with here. I didn't choose my review's title to be cute. So keeping all that in mind, this game will most likely be an engrossing experience for those willing to embark on the grave task of the monarch. You will have to engage in some tricky resource-juggling on occasion, but nothing too overwhelming if you're prudent and practice some fiscal conservatism (this isn't real life, you don't have the option of running a massive deficit). Gameplay mechanics aside, this is one game that actually managed to get me emotionally involved, so credit where it's due as no game has succeeded at that task since Dragon Age: Origins. The soundtrack also deserves praise as well as the world-building and some clever cultural references sneaked in (Wojtek, you absolute mad lad). If you're not afraid to go on an emotional roller coaster, I'd say give this game a chance. Ruling a medieval kingdom isn't neverending sunshine and rainbows, but the best tales rarely are.

Good game with drawbacks

The game is about choices, I got that when I bought it, but I expected a resource management element to it, not a "choose your preferred type of suffering" kind of deal. Basically, the game enforces hard choices on you by taking away your resources. No, I didn't say by making you choose who to give them, but literally taking it away with red herring quests/ petitioners, upkeep mechanics, and upgrades you straight up need to have a CHANCE at getting a semi-good end. This will result in you needing to straight up send away petitoners because you didn't pay that specific agent's upkeep so you can't use them, or because you got asked to provide resources you literally spent to get the game going. And this would not be a problem, as long as the red herring petitioners WOULDN'T REDUCE HAPPINESS IF TOLD TO BUZZ OFF. Because there is a lot of those, yet somehow a lovers quarell being ignored amidst war reduces the entire populace's happiness the same amount as crop fields getting flooded and ignored by the king... The concept was good, the story is alright, but like with many other games, the execution was faulty. Instead of getting enjoyment from playing king and making choices for my domain, I often got frustrated because an agent wasn't ready or a resource missed 1-3 units to allow for a choice besides sending the petitioner away. Overall, I left with closure to the story, but no interest for it's continuation. I bought this game at a big sale, and I recommend you do the same

Bad Story

The story is so bad and my decisions can't affect it I can't even be bothered to play it after the first hour

Great game

This is a very good well rounded game of resource management. Not only is the story really engaging but it is very fun to manage all the different aspects of being a king.
