Reigns 2
Release Date: December 7, 2017
A sequel to the popular multi-genre game, blending elements of logic puzzle, adventure, and strategy games with some roguelike aspects. Like in the first installment, the production was created by Nerial. Reigns 2 is set in a tongue-in-cheek version of the middle ages. The protagonist is a queen, who has just ascended to the throne, and your task is to keep her there for as long as possible.
Reigns: Her Majesty, released on PC, AND and iOS, is an unusual production that combines elements of a logic, adventure and strategy games. It was developed by Nerial studio, the same developer that produced the first part.
We move from Middle Ages, the setting of the first game, to the XVIII century. This time, we do not play as a king, but as a queen who has just assumed the power over the state. Our task is to stay on the throne for as long as possible, which is not easy, because everyone wants to dethrone us.
The authors did not try to realistically recreate the reality of the XVIII century and instead presented a highly humorous version of the period. Compared to the first part, the developers decided to put more emphasis on political and diplomatic gameplay, not just brutal murders.
Reigns: Her Majesty, released on PC, AND and iOS, is a very unusual production. While playing, the player must take care of their kingdom, satisfy the needs of the people, wage wars, make judgments on important matters, develop the economy and play political and diplomatic games. However, all this was realized in a style resembling Tinder dating application. During the game, cards with events are drawn from the deck. You can swipe left or right with your finger on the screen, select one of two options, and these include raising taxes, declaring war, marrying or ordering silent murder of enemies.
The game's engine remembers our every decision and takes it into account in the further course of our history. The game is fully non-linear and the consequences of our choices quickly start to accumulate. Sooner or later, we will make one mistake too much - the result is the death of our queen. The game is about trying to stay on the throne as long as possible.
Just like in a roguelike, every death in Reigns: Her Majesty is permanent and forces the game to restart from scratch. However, we begin as the successor to the previous queen, so the decisions made earlier also affect the reign of the next monarch.

Game Ratings for Reigns: Her Majesty Video Game.
New Game Network: 68 / 100 by Alex Varankou
Reigns: Her Majesty is a solid sequel if you enjoyed the original, but it suffers from many of the same issues such as repetition, being at the mercy of the deck, and not really offering role playing choice but rather making you micromanage happiness meters. The low price point helps offset some of the annoyances, though.
PC Gamer: 82 / 100 by Samuel Roberts
At last: royalty I feel emotionally invested in! Reigns: Her Majesty is a smart and surprising extension of the original swipe-'em narrative game.
Quillstreak: 84 / 100 by Nick Hanchet
Tinder-esque swiping meets an infinite timeline of royalty? I'm in.
