Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It doesn't have a lot of options and after 15 days it gets incredibly repetitive + the politics aspect is very shallow. About 3 hours of actual good gameplay in this game. Spend your money on something else.”
“Game over simulator. Fun for an hour max. The game tries to hide the lack of content & depth by killing the protagonist randomly and making you replay it over & over again. Sounds fun? Yeah.”
People who play it also play: Yes, Your Grace, The King's Dilemma: Chronicles, The Succession of Changing Kings
