Padge Plays! YOLO Edition - Reigns (2016 - Devolver Digital) Lets Play Reigns Gameplay
2Welcome to Padge Plays! YOLO Edition
In this series I will be playing some well known and less well known games all the way from yesteryear through to the present, sometimes from consoles and sometimes from the thousands of PC games available either through websites such as Steam, Good Old Games (GOG), as abandonware, (Home of the Underdogs) or through emulation software. (Such as WinVice C64)
In this episode we are playing Reigns by Devolver Digital! Reigns is a simple game in premise, all you have to do is swipe left or right whilst trying to help, (or hinder) the kingdom you are ruling BUT... you may have made a pact with the devil at some point in your many, many lives and he plans on collecting the debt you owe.
So, with four different powers of the kingdom to keep in check, (Religion, People, Military and Finance) you need to balance these as best as you can because if any get too low, (or high for that matter) it's the chopping block for you... and I do mean that literally!
I enjoy Reigns a lot and it's the type of game with high replay value along with the many branching storylines available in each playthrough and the many mini-objectives you are tasked with doing in each life there's enough to make this seemingly easy game to pick up and play last long enough for you to get your moneys worth!
-- ABOUT THE GAME --
Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal controller either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!
An Unpredictable Kingdom: Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch.
Dynasty Expansion: Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.
Royal Challenges: Achieve specific goals set before you at the start of your reign to cement your legacy and unlock new cards and content within the kingdom.
Eclectic Presentation: An inspiring score from Disasterpeace compliment elegant gameplay and a bold art direction for a sublime experience as you rule over your people.
