    Description
    Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal controller either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!

    An Unpredictable Kingdom: Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch.

    Dynasty Expansion: Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.

    Royal Challenges: Achieve specific goals set before you at the start of your reign to cement your legacy and unlock new cards and content within the kingdom.

    Eclectic Presentation: An inspiring score from Disasterpeace compliment elegant gameplay and a bold art direction for a sublime experience as you rule over your people.

    Just a small warning

    Please keep in mind, that the game has a time-based mechanic, which from time to time forces you to make very rapid decisions. Slowpokes will get frustrated. Also *maybe* the mechanic was introduced by the devs because the decisions are too shallow and have no replay-ability value?

    Nice game, for your cellphone!

    I do play this game on my phone. It is a very nice game for the cellphone. I highly doubt that this game will be fun for a long time if you buy it for your computer.

    Fun and interesting

    This is a very fun little diversion. Yes, also on computers;) Do not expect to get lost for hours on end in it. It is more of a small,little times waster. But it has interesting, unique mechanics, lots of twists and turns and a great sense of humor, so you will want to go back to it every now and then.

    Good for wasting time, not much else.

    Great game... for your phone. At $3, this is a great time-waster - perfect for standing in line at the license bureau. That being said, don't expect much depth. Kind of like 80 Days, but without all the weird "story-telling."

    Bad (in the non-Michael Jackson sense)

    Try this for a laugh: play the game and only click on one side of the screen. Now play again and click only on the other side of the screen. Congratulations you have just experienced cognitive dissonance egregious failure number 4 of video games, also known as, player choice means fuck all because the game dev is nowhere near as schooled in the fundamentals of gameplay as they think they are. Reigns is as crass as the premise it was built on. As a point-making mechanism about the Brexit referendum (or elections, more broadly) it doesn't live up to that goal. In the real world actions have consequences to which there is no undo, or re-do or restart. Once you pick left or right (collectively) then you live with that and said choice reverberates outwards opening and closing other choices later down the road (enriching or shitting on humanity depending on your perspective). In Reigns choices mean nothing because you're going to die quickly anyway and you will play as your heirs who will also die.. ad absurdum. In Reigns choices do not open up or cut off other choices (although the game would dearly love you to believe that) it merely unlocks crapola that you might encounter with your next game but that's it. In Reigns only the you, the Ruler, matter, not your kingdom (the aim is for you to stay alive after all). Vulgar, stupid and in desperate need of an education. That's the electorate in general and coincidentally the game dev of Reigns too.
