Reigns for Negative User Reviews

Stopped workingGame suddenly froze after a few hours play. Deleted and reinstalled and now wont even started. Not happy. ☹️.Version: 1.13

I like the game, here’s some ideasI really enjoy the game but how about something a little more to it, and maybe ways to like numbers to show how much you’ll lose or gain by each decision, and the in game money could be used to buy like visits with the devil and or things to help keep you from dying. Very good game though..Version: 1.08

Feels like BSI play this and every time I start having fun the game yanks the carpet under my feet so to speak. It’s really annoying having to guess what will increase or decrease the icons is it so damn hard to just specify when a choice will lower the church stat or raise it? So many times I’m having fun and then one choice ends my run for example I just started a crusade and I think oh yeah this is awesome and then I make a choice after that leads to the church maxing out and killing me. It’s not clear what it does? It just shows an icon over the cross but I don’t know if it’ll decrease or increase so I just guess and then die? It just feels like bs and really isn’t fun having to just guess, just give me a red/green arrow over each thing for each choice so I can better balance things and not just guess..Version: 1.13

Expected More From Paid AppThis game has a lot of potential, but it just doesn't get there. - Your choices are meaningless. The narrowness of your stats ensures that you can only select the options that will keep your stats firmly in the middle. There's no opportunity to tell a story as favouring any stat, or allowing one to drop will quickly end your reign. - Very repetitive. Each "life" you face the same handful of scenarios, with little variation and only one or two scenarios of new content each reign. - Very rigid. You cannot name or customise your character. You must follow the path assigned to you. See also: your choices are meaningless. - Simplified and reused art feels cheap and considering the price tag just to get in the door. - Streamlined interface and simple mechanics are nice, but feel under-developed. Depending on your budget, you may find this game a pleasant diversion. Personally, I feel that I wasted my time and my money..Version: 1.01

Fun though confusing story and is too expensiveThere is an interesting principle behind this game but with a flawed storyline and an ending which can spit in your face by ending the game and your progress. You also loss your drive to play by that point..Version: 1.10

Battery hog!!!Quite cool game to play but utterly unacceptable battery drain!!!.Version: 1.01

BoringBoring. Frustrating. Overhyped..Version: 1.14

Repetitive. Pointless.The basic idea is, the game randomly shows you events and gives you two options to choose from, where your choices will affect the status (eg happiness of your people) of your state or trigger a storyline. The randomness and the degree of freedom might seem great but once you start you will find it actually boring in five minutes. The problems are: 1) The supposedly random events get repeated again and again. 2) Your actions have unpredictable consequences which is frustrating because you might get killed no matter how hard you try to make the “right” choice. If you get killed no matter what, why bother thinking before you choose? So you end up just swiping pointlessly. 3) The storylines, like all other events in the game, progress in an unpredictable, unreasonable and meaningless way..Version: 1.10

Got bored after 1 gameI literally got bored after 1 game.. ONE GAME. No wonder you’re selling both games in a bundle...Version: 1.13

Blank screen -no support -can't play - bye bye £3The link to the developers site on here goes nowhere. Searching for a site finds no support. Their Facebook page doesn't seem very active -my message hasn't been read. I'm running on relatively new Apple iOS hardware and the screen is just blank with some corruption. The sounds work and it seems to respond to my touching of the screen -but that's all useless when you can't see anything! So I feel as in-the-dark support-wise as I am trying to play this game I just wasted £3 on..Version: 1.08

Not as Good as Reigns: Her MajestyI played Reigns: Her Majesty before playing this game and was disappointed. The graphics are worse and you can’t use items. Reigns: Her Majesty is a really good game however and I recommend you buy that instead of this one..Version: 1.10

There’s a 4 bucks I’ll never see againNuf said....Version: 1.08

Not what you think...So I got this as a recommendation from a friend, but it was not worth my money! Contrary to popular belief, your choices DO have consequences in this game, and the cards can seem random at times but there is a subtle storyline in it. Would not recommend for kids under 12 as there is some language from some of the characters and several of the characters are... suggestive... in nature. Also, I finished this with about 9 hours of gameplay; it’s too short, and once you’re done, that’s that. Overall, fun game, I enjoyed the challenge, but it should’ve been free 😕.Version: 1.10

Not Much ContentWhile the idea of the game is really quite solid, I find myself wishing there was more to it for the price. I keep getting the pop-ups between kings that advertise the spin off variants of this game which makes me feel like instead of putting more time into updating this game, they might have abandoned making any content for it in favor of creating more variants and reselling the game. Just know this game will become repetitive and isn’t designed to last for many hours. If you are looking for a quick, digestible game and are considering it, this sounds like the game for you..Version: 1.13

Waste of moneyWaste of money.Version: 1.13

StuckI’m in my second kingdom and i just met the barbarian and I’ve entered a loop. No matter what I do It keeps giving me the same options. Everything I do it says it charms the barbarian and I’m not telling the translator guy to leave. It clearly is making me do something that hurts my kingdom in some way which is bs. Clearly why have set it up so you can’t get past a certain amount of years until you have died a certain amount of times. I wish I could get my money back since clearly the decisions you make don’t even matter..Version: 1.10

Fun but issuesExtremely fun game to begin with, love the balancing of the four powers to keep your head and the game gets more fun as you unlock more cards + people and delve further into the story. The only issue which is stopping me from playing is the fact that my save game data has corrupted 4 times in the 2 days of having it, I was extremely close to the end too. Such a shame as it's definitely worth 4-5 stars and the price tag but this issue keeps me from rating it higher..Version: 1.01

Interesting concept, but very repetitiveThis is quite fun at first, but after less than an hour of gameplay I found myself cycling through the same choices over and over and over again. There’s not a lot of strategy involved, as the way impacts are decided (and the severity/strength of those impacts) is almost completely opaque. I want to like this game a lot more than I do..Version: 1.14

Cute but unfinishedWhat is there is fine, but you'll get bored after an hour or two. Cards repeat. As for the storyline and puzzle for many endings-- it's kind of convoluted and the main game is not enjoyable enough to warrant playing through enough times to solve the endings. Wish they'd spent more time on main game content..Version: 1.13

Meh! Why all the fuss?!Got to say, this game is fun for about 10 minutes but wears thin very quickly. I honestly don't get the hype, it's basic, repetitive and boring. Should have been a free download but it only cost a couple of quid so not going to complain too much about that. Maybe I'm just not seeing what everyone else is seeing but it's two stars from me. I'm giving it two because it kept me interested for a brief while, one star would have been if I'd have found it rubbish immediately. The rubbishness grows on you sadly..Version: 1.01

Ripped offIt said the price was $3.99 but it charged me $10.41, don’t buy the game its not worth $10.41.Version: 1.10

Great game, but has performance issuesI think that this game is fantastic. I really enjoy playing it. This would be a five star review, but every time I open the game after at least an hour away from it, my save game corrupts and I have to start from scratch. The one time that this didn't happen, the game collected all my previous kings into one King with a 500 year reign. In summary, great game, but please fix these issues..Version: 1.01

Not for everyoneI tried the game after reading all the amazing reviews. But in the end it’s just not for everyone. You are a king with problems which always end up dying and being reborn. You try to solve the problem as best as you can and that’s it. Problems are always kinda similar and I’m not sure I really see a goal in all this. Stopped playing after a couple hour as I was getting bored..Version: 1.14

Little rhyme or reasonThis is not a pick your own adventure kind of thing. you just pick the response you think will best affect the 4 things (idek what to call them). however, it's so hard to tell if the answer will positively or negatively affect them. I thought maybe once I played it a while I would understand it better but nope it's still just as confusing. its nice visually but that doesn't make up for it's unplayability. huge waste of money..Version: 1.10

Absolute garbageBroken. Possibly the buggiest game i have seen in the app store..Version: 1.14

OverratedSorry to be so harsh but this is a very basic game. The programming required is very basic, it's not brilliantly unique in any way. Yes there are 'choices' but it's mostly for a laugh, nothing plot heavy - it's fun, quirky and has good elements, but the asking price is just arrogant. - this could easily be recreated, nothing spectacular here.Version: 1.03

Nowhere near worth the hypeI buy game to support devs in the vague hope that’s the store wont have so much IAP crap. This one wasn’t particularly cheap, and while its a fun little experience its not worth the price tag. Repetitive and once you figure the mechanics, gets old quick..Version: 1.10

Horrible!I spent all of my pocket money on this game and it glitches out my iPad! I can't even play it! You are an absolutely horrible game, I am disappointed in this and I believe that you should make it work if you charge such a huge amount of money for this!.Version: 1.07

It's just, eh.This is a great game, no doubt. But I have 2 problems. One: It gets boring after a while. This makes it not worth 5 bucks. You can fix this by adding new content every month or so. Two: It's kinda not starting up properly. Reigns is a great game but it has its problems..Version: 1.05

UnfairMy strawberry disappeared randomly, and now I can't get a new one..Version: 1.09

Gets oldWas my favourite game for about 3 days and then every card I got was one I had seen. There was no variety after a while and I new what would happen every decision I made. I would recommend if they decide to add more cards.Version: 1.09

Mildly entertainingNot a terrible game, but not very good, would be worth playing if it were free. Not worth the price.Version: 1.01

BoredNot really enjoying this. A little boring and basic. It’s a lot of reading and after a while not much to grab my attention. Cards repeats and consequences are limited..Version: 1.14

Errr.. okVery simple concept.. played for a good 20 mins and don’t really get it. Doesn’t feel like a story, it’s very shallow; no depth to the narrative. Surprised by the up-rating by the App Store and great reviews as it doesn’t grab me as a must have download on any level. Not for me, but not badly developed either..Version: 1.09

No common sense at all“The population is scared by the terrorists! Please, suspend the payment of taxes this year.” Uh, how do you expect that to solve anything? You don’t ask a kingdom for help, and suddenly, everyone dies. “I saw strange lights in the kingdom last night. Maybe it’s a sign that my destiny is to rule this kingdom.” Yeah, then a monk says scholars are convinced and that it’s a miracle. You don’t adopt a son, and your military gets stronger. The citizens get freaky with each other every time you work with other countries, because the population increases every time. The list goes on and on and on and on. The developers used no common sense in any aspect of this game. Plus, the voices are annoying as can be. A breathy “BLOHCHEWDASKOO” or “BLEEKHEHLEH” for example. Is that a language? Not even close. USE. COMMON. SENSE..Version: 1.10

Corrupt game filesThis is a good game in small sittings but when I come back after getting some food or something, my game goes corrupt. Every time. I am not sure if this is just my device but it is making this game unplayable which is a disappointment because I like this game..Version: 1.01

Overrated!I think for the price tag it's a bit overrated. A lot of the decisions you need to make don't make any sense, so there is little feeling of reward if you do well, and it simply feels unjust if you die quickly - you'll just be left thinking, well, why though? Also, it really is quite boring after a few rounds of the same questions/decisions. The game needs a lot more variety and the graphics should be vastly improved to justify the price tag at least! I think a lot of the great reviews could be from family/friends of the developers..Version: 1.01

Doesn’t loadI dont know why but since I have bought this game it rarely loads, it’s a fun game but if I can’t play it what’s the point. Basically been scammed I wasn’t gonna write this review but it hasn’t been fixed and it’s been happening for months..Version: 1.13

Not worth the high priceThe game is exactly as the pictures and video show it: there is nothing more. This repetitiveness, together with the fact that I didn’t understand the humour, made the game a disappointment for me. It would have been fine if it were given away for free, but it is certainly not worth the steep price even though it is quite sturdy and polished. The historical inaccuracy of the game, of course, goes without saying..Version: 1.08

Was greatWas a perfectly good game but latest update forces horizontal orientation for god knows what reason.Version: 1.04

You can’t be serious!I wonder how this apparently simple game should get a lot of fuss, is it about money? How much have the developers do you think might have paid to be in the spotlight? Practically speaking, the game has its own untold rules, affecting your throne-keeping time in a way that is not revealed unless after making a choice: pretty experimental I’d say. So if you’re bored, I’d say there’s much better choices that can entertain you much better than this, in my view, Game-of-Thrones-heat-exploiter..Version: 1.10

Very fun once throughAnother reviewer said that Reigns isn’t a “game” because it doesn’t have rules. I see his point, but I still enjoyed Reigns if only for the novelty and design of it. It’s more like a silly story meshed with a puzzle. I found the game design interesting - tactile and polished. I definitely had a good time playing it. However, I had two issues. First, the final puzzle is almost impossible and very frustrating. I finally gave up and cheated, and I rarely do that. But, I didn’t feel bad because I would have never observed the solution. Second, and more importantly, there is no replay. Once through, which maybe takes a day or two, you’ll never use it again..Version: 1.08

Don't payReally boring..Version: 1.08

TerribleIt's a great game, but after playing for a while the cards start becoming invisible, and every time I exit the game and re-enter, it says my saved game is "corrupted" and I have to restart the game. Very annoying, especially for the editor's pick! I thought it would be better than this..Version: 1.01

Prepare to dieStrange game. I just die and die and die. Haven't lasted longer than 2 minutes. But I'm not very good at games. The music is atmospheric..Version: 1.08

Good, but has problemsThe game is basically perfect except for a few glaring issues below. Firstly, the game can result in a loop. For example, a situation is offered, but denying a card leads to another card and results in a loss to the affected stat. Denying the next card loops back to the first resulting in another loss to that stat. Repeating ends the game eventually. Secondly, situations are presented that you have no control over. Sometimes you will reign for upwards of 20 years. Sometimes you’ll only manage to get to 5 years at most. These cases happen too frequently. No matter your choices, the scenarios presented to you are inescapable and will end in your demise quickly regardless of your choices. Fixing these 2 issues will improve the game greatly imo..Version: 1.13

Interesting but I must be missing somethingI can't work out how to fight. I can't make it through the dungeon. Is there supposed to be something I unlock that makes the game deeper? It feels like I'm doing something wrong, but it's so easy to die with your choices having little to no effect on the outcome: you die within a minute or so. Really interesting idea, but I've played it a hell of a lot in the hopes that something different happens, but it's mostly the same. So either I'm missing something or this is incredibly shallow for an Editor's Pick at a relatively premium price..Version: 1.01

Really good fun until. ..Played this loads to start with and really enjoyed it. Interesting to work out the mechanics of each card and choice but also to see it fit into the overall story. But! I am now stuck - need to arrange a honey moon, find the blood and loser a limb but no matter how many times I play I don't get a path which takes me to any of these events. I wonder if I got rid of a card earlier in the game which has left me in a dead end. Disappointing as otherwise it would be a five star game..Version: 1.01

MauvaisDécevant, malgré que j’ai payé 4.59$ je l’ai effacé en 5min..Version: 1.10

This is sold as a game about choice, but it's not...It's a game about figuring out how cryptic messages will affect 4 counters at the top of the screen and trying not to let them go too high or too low..Version: 1.10

Initially entertaining, ultimately frustratingReigns is not a choose your own adventure or a story game in any sense. It's a puzzle game - where, Groundhog Day like, you relive events over and over and eventually get more clues to solve what's going on. For the first hour, I found this fun and funny - but once I had an inkling there was a larger puzzle to solve, the randomness of the game became actively frustrating. You can't progress in certain objectives without hitting triggers that may or may not come up, or may come up too late and you die before seeing them through. Also, the puzzle for solving the game is ultimately too clever by far - at least for this player - and ended with me swiping randomly, frustrated and angry, when I was unable to make progress..Version: 1.08

Doesn't make senseI've played and it's not long lasting, when you reach certain parts and decisions it become hard to understand it's almost like you're reading gibberish..Version: 1.08

I like this game, butI want to love this game… But it is to random. Your decisions don’t seem to have a predictable outcome. You have no idea whether the outcome is going to be good or bad it’s pretty ambiguous. Which is quite frustrating. I don’t think I’ve been able to live more than 15 years in this game (which is only 15 decisions which takes about 5 minutes.) That being said it is a fun game. I just can’t seem to get very far in the game sometimes just for decisions and then I’m dead and I didn’t really seem like there was an obvious answer. Note to the developers: When you make a decision-there is a small or large circle above. It would be great to see if that circle was green or red to know how they’re going to handle it. It’s not taking the fun out of the game it’s taking the frustration out. Also it would be nice if you could add a little more variety to the sayings to help distinguish one reign from the next. It would be also neat if you could add a swipe up or down to add choices. Instead of just yes no right or left. Perhaps those choices could be more or less extreme. I.e. swipe up strongly agree swipe right slightly agree swipe left slightly disagree swipe down strongly disagree Or something..Version: 1.13

Editors Choice? What? Really?Cute kinda "choose your own adventure" type play but becomes quite tiresome after a couple of levels and many of the reasons for the character dying are ridiculous. Very over-rated and for $4 plus I would expect something far more advanced. Last time I will take notice of an "Editors Choice" recommendation from Apple..Version: 1.01

Misleading reviewsPlease do not be mislead by reviews comparing Reigns to a choose-your-own adventure game/story. Reigns is not a game or a story. The "choices" in Reigns are a random mishmash that have no continuity, no story, and more times than not lead to consequences that make no sense. Reigns is not a "game" because games have rules, not arbitrary consequences. Let me put it clearly, there is _no_ gaming or strategy here. You make a choice, it affects four "indicators" of your kingdom's health (often in nonsensical ways), then you make another completely disconnected choice, it has its affects, etc. Reigns is also not a story because stories have continuity, character development, a plot, etc., and there is none of that in Reigns. So this is not a game or a story, and certainly not a choose-your-own adventure. So long as you are not expecting an actual game or an actual story, you might be somewhat entertained by Reigns. Some of the choices and characters are supposed to be funny. However, most of the attempts at humor I didn't find very clever..Version: 1.08

Amazing, worth the money, but needs more contentOk, to start this is definitely not a negative review. I really enjoy reigns and play it a lot but I wish there was more content. I highly recommend the download but this game has monumental potential to be something even greater. Reigns is great for any type of gamer wether you are good at games or not. The game will have you hooked with its unique storyline and twists the moment you start. The game has some of the smoothest mechanics in a strategy game that I’ve seen in a long time. Here’s what I think should happen. I would like to have more content in reigns, wether it would be in the form of DLC or in game content. Whichever you prefer would be fine. I hope you have a great development career ahead Long live the developers!.Version: 1.10
