Royals

On: May 4th, 2015

Royals is a fun little strategy game from Asher Vollmer, one of the creators of Threes (iOS). As a peasant seeking to attain royalty, each turn on the game’s randomly-built map takes a year of your life, which you can spend accruing resources in a variety of ways. Saying anything more would spoil the fun of figuring out how everything works. You can download Royals on a “pay what you want” basis.

    Clever little game. Gonna have to spend some time on it to have any clue what I’m doing. Reminds me of the trailer I saw for Hero Generations, but decidedly lo-fi. : D

    An excellent part of the sales pitch you didn’t mention is it’s, I believe, “a game from long ago you can’t find the manual for”. It’s an interesting exercise, and doesn’t take up too much of your time to finish!

    Very true! Reminds me of rifling through my parent’s floppies as a kid (that sounds so wrong) and playing weird DOS games I found on them.

    I’ve been playing for the last hour or so. I enjoy it very much. But I die way too early. How do I get a sustainable method of health income?

    Cheers!

    I’m still trying to figure out what stat to optimize for… Maybe I’ll just become a one man killing machine and win through anarchy. : P

    I wish it didn’t tell you the controls at the beginning…

    Clever little game indeed.
    Found two different strategies for winning (I wonder if there’re others). Had fun.

    My only *suggestion* is that the game shouldn’t ask me if I want to “do it yourself” before there’s an option to do otherwise, i.e. until I get my 1st follower.

    That’s because, while I like the challenge to understand the rules, that part sounded a bit too mysterious at first. It sounded even misleading (and funny): my first understanding was that the peasant I played in the game resented me, the player, for wanting him to work in the fields, and angrily suggested that, if I really wanted it done, I should “do that myself”.
