2024-09-01	Retti Spaghetti	Fun game with lots of strategizing and a ton of variance based on your choices, which is really cool. Lots of time management, but after one playthrough there's a cheat menu you unlock if you want, which is awesome for people like me who like to replay to find all the different possible stories without having to constantly struggle with strategy. It's not a game for romance, so keep that in mind if that's what you're looking for: you won't find it here. But it's a fun story!
2022-08-07	Abraham B.	Great story (bought the entire game), replaying it for a 3rd time now as the different endings and possible choices ensure interest and excitement. My only issue is that getting certain outcomes are frustratingly difficult if specific skills aren't very high by the time you reach the end (SPOILER, which skill is upgraded the most also may determine which endings one is more likely to get). I, like many others, tip my hat to the Dev/s and look forward to the sequel's release. Amazing job. 👏
2022-01-23	Ethan O Nasworthy	One of my absolute favorite choice games. It has a massive degree of replayability and quite a few endings. It also has a very well developed management system which actually shows results. How you build your character and nation can alter things, including choosing a wife. Alliances can be made, battles fought, etc. Very good. Fully worth the money and I can't wait until the next one.
2021-01-12	Chance Flohrschutz	Honestly this is a fun game but there is a bug that ruins my experience. After about an hour or two the game "updates" and I'm stuck on the stats screen. Even in airplane mode where that is impossible. Not only that but this has happened 3 times. Sadly this not worth the money right now. (Edit I am happy that they have accknowleged the problem and are currently working on it.)
2020-10-30	a non	This is one of the best text games I have ever played, if not the best itself. I'm not sure; I haven't even finished my first run through and honestly I don't want to, because I can't put it down. It feels like Dragon Age: Inquisition in text format with stunningly vivid storytelling skill. I've been moved to tears a couple times already & I think I'm only 4 months in, I've lost track. Absolutely worth the price; the development was obviously a labor of both ambition and love.
2020-07-18	Blas Fuentes	Where to begin this game is just amazing i mean I have played it several times with a lot of different endings your choices seem to hold a lot of weight and i like how court seems to be randomized which means you could discover different things in other playthroughs. The writing is amazing the characters are well made and thier is romance which adds to the entrainment. The only thing is that you have to pay for the whole game but its worth it. I totally recommend getting it cant wait for part 2.
2020-06-21	Star Smasher	Great game with an interesting story. I would recommend this to others. Only problem is a couple of bugs and logic errors. SPOILERS AHEAD For example near the end of the game we were voting who would become the new ruler of a new western kingdom. I got two votes and the others only for one vote each but it said it was a tie??? Another example is when characters who have been killed come back to life. Other than that it's a great game. Worth the money.
2020-05-31	Sean Gaston	The game was pretty good, if a bit short (about two-three hours for my latest playthrough). Writing is pretty good, I look forward to a sequel. Character designs could use some refinement, mostly art wise. Shading and color would help, maybe a bit more stylized art in general. But that's aside from the story. Still occasionally find random new bits, like a certain romance at the end. Overall a good buy.
2020-05-29	Tristin Mccomas	I saved a game not long after a bug made me stuck in the show stats screen and forced me to restart and not only that my save was deleted. Trash. I did the demo and that worked better. This shouldn't even be a problem for how long it was being worked on and then the amount of time since release. BS is what this is and I payed almost 8 dollars. Thanks for that.
2020-05-26	Sienna Oswalt	Very nicely written! So easy to spend hours going through this and trying to get all the different outcomes. Worth the $6 for the hard work of the writers. My only complaint is that some of the outcomes don't seem to match my previous decisions in the same playthrough. Like in one, someone helped me escape a scenario, but then ended up betraying me? When that wasn't a storyline at all in that playthrough? Idk, just seemed like a broken pathway. Overall though, great story! Sequel???
