★★★★☆

Really great story, but there is a clear easiest play style (health, strength, agility), and many of the stats feel nearly useless, that goes for keep decorations and servants too. Though I can't say this doesn't make sense, I can say it restricts your play style. All in all it's a great game though, perhaps I'm splitting hairs. Ps. I've played other games presumably by the same person, and that is what I'm comparing to; if compared to most text based games, this game is above and beyond.

★★☆☆☆

the game was really good... until they decided to make you have to pay to actually enjoy the game (having to wait several minutes just sitting there waiting for the timer to be done) and constantly try to pressure you into buying it on top of also adding ads to the game. Like seriously, I understand and want to support indie devs, but when it comes to monetization you gotta pick one or the other—not both. There's a reason why we don't like EA, and y'all are walking a thin line.

It's a pretty fun game at first. There's a few problems with it though. There are a lot of glitches and coding issues. For instance I once had negative soldiers in my army. each time I advanced to attack the number kept increasing. Then a lot of the events that are supposed to give you cash don't. Some of the purchasable items or personnel don't seem to do anything. Still was a good game for a few days

★★★☆☆

I don't want to complain too much about this game, because I actually enjoy it. That being said, I paid 3 or 4 dollars for the ad free version and I was disappointed in the writing. The misspellings, confusing wording, and other errors, for example using "your" instead of "you're", really take away from the experience. In a game with this much text, I expected higher quality writing. This game could really use some editing. If there were far fewer mistakes, I would've given it 5 stars.
