What players say
A fun game with a unique concept that you can put a lot of hours into, if you have the patience. Since the latest update months ago, however, the game is buggy and several achievements are broken, and the devs don't seem to be taking action to fix it. It's still nice to play casually, but this is unacceptable to me.
2 more reviews, 2 not recommended
Reigns is a really fun idea, that's based on pure RNG and feels like it should've been a mobile game. It is frustrating how repetitive it feels as you just try to find something new and, just when I was making progress, they dropped an update that wiped the save. Can't recommend, I'm afraid.
Almost got to the end, anniversary update occurs, hop on game, have to start from the start. What a waste of my time.
