Here sits another game where I'm mostly on the fence about recommending it. Ultimately though, I'd have to say it's a soft pass as the gameplay itself is rather "blah"

In essence, you rule a kingdom in some weird Tinder-style manner of swiping "cards" left or right. It's kind of a stat management game? Yes, that's an intentional question mark. You do have 4 icons across the top of the cards that represent the different factions that you must keep happy in order to be not dead. Your actions (left/right swipes) have positive or negative effects on one or multiple groups. That's basically it. Oh, and when you do die (it happens a lot), you take over as your heir. Not sure why you always HAVE an heir, as there were times I messed up and died within 3 years or so. But whatevs. Either way, you plod along.

At first, it was fairly entertaining and when random events would pop up, I would gain a new "card set" that adds more events and triggers. But after awhile (and many, many ruler's deaths) I felt as though I was recycling the exact same cards in the exact same situations and quickly grew bored.

On the positive side, the minimalistic art style is nice. And the price is about right. But if you subscribe to the thought that each dollar = an hour of play, then I ran out at about $1.50.

If nothing else, it's a good start. But I'd say pass unless you gain this in a bundle or a deep discount (as it's already inexpensive).
