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?
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.
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.
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."
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.
