If you are tired of swiping right or left on Tinder, please try Reigns. It might not get you a date, but will definitely entertain you.
Reigns is about running your own kingdom.
In this Tinder-like strategy game, you will meet different characters and interact with them by swiping left or right. Each swipe has a different consequence and will have an impact on the four key metrics for your monarchy: the church, the people, the military, and the treasury.
It is essential to balance these metrics. Make your choice wisely and avoid getting the bar full or empty, or you die.
In fact, you die a lot in the game. There are 29 ways to die, as you can find in the Achievement.
The decision is important, obviously.
What amazes me the most is how Reigns manages to create the roguelike gameplay through its minimalism-designed cards and the swiping right or left mechanism.
You never know what will happen in your next swipe - entering a dungeon or suddenly being cursed. Some decisions have a lasting effect on your next, or maybe more, rounds of monarchy.
The absurdity in Reigns makes the game seem more clever. Like you can save the princess without even fighting the dragon, because the dragon is actually hired by your subjects to amuse you. (What???)
I appreciate the sense of humor in games.
Reigns is available on both mobile and PC. But honestly, it is definitely better on mobile; the swiping option is a 100% fit for mobile devices. No one uses Tinder on their computer right?
