Feels like an AI-written mobile port

This is a fun casual game for a few hours - then it feels generic with stereotypical conversations and a "I have seen this already"-vibe. There is not much depth in the game - don't expect a tactical challenge. As is typical for these kind of games the difficulty comes from a lack of a decent savegame-feature. In my experience thats most often a lazy designer trick to make the game feel longer, than it actually is. The sound is decent, as are the graphics - for a game that you would play on your mobile. For a PC game it is subpar. The game mechanics are standard - loot or buy increasingly better equipment - but on a very simple level. The whole game is not really bad per se, but it feels a bit soulless. Enough for a low-priced casualgame - nothing more ,nothing less.

Great Game

I’m quite pleased with Those Who Rule! As a longtime fan of tactical RPGs, I immediately noticed its strong resemblance to the Fire Emblem series — from the grid-based combat to the emphasis on strategy and character relationships. However, what really sets Those Who Rule apart is how it takes positioning to the next level. Being able to choose exactly which direction you character faces after combat adds an extra layer of depth that I absolutely love. The fact that backstabs and flanking attacks actually matter forces you to think several moves ahead and rewards smart play. It’s a refreshing twist that makes every turn feel meaningful and tactical. The game is low-fantasy though, so no magic or monsters. If you enjoy turn-based strategy games with thoughtful mechanics and engaging battles, Those Who Rule is absolutely worth your time.

A great game for lovers of the genre

I have a feeling, that the game was made exactly for me. :-). Great progresion of characters, very good tactical battles and a story that might not be very original, but it's what fits to the game. Later the game gets a little repetetive and lacks side missions that make combat more appealing, but just the fact, that the game was made by just one developer makes it magnificent.
