Technical aspects

Game of Thrones is the subtitle of the fourth game under the Reigns sign, developed by Nerial studio and released by Devolver Digital. The production was created in cooperation with HBO channel and is based on the license of a popular series.

Plot

Reigns: Game of Thrones presents the players with visions of the Melisandre priestess, in which various characters of the series sit on the iron throne. These include Cersei Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow. Players can therefore check out the various scenarios and see for themselves the consequences.

Mechanics

The game in Reigns: Game of Thrones is based on a scheme known from earlier games in the series. Production combines elements of logical game, adventure, strategy and roguelike. Playing is about making a variety of decisions affecting the fate of the Seven Kingdoms; we wage wars, hand down judgments and play political games, as well as satisfying the needs of our subjects and developing the economy. All this is presented in the form of cards - by moving them to the left or right, we make a negative or positive decision in individual cases. As before, the game remembers the choices we made and their consequences quickly start to accumulate.

Technical aspects

Two-dimensional graphics of Reigns: Game of Thrones are maintained in the characteristic style known from previous editions of the cycle.

Nintendo Times: 8 / 10 by Alex Knight

GREAT - Reigns: Game of Thrones is a clever choose your own adventure-styled title with highly accessible mechanics and a very robust dynamic narrative experience. Fans of the series will find a lot of canon to play around with and forge their own paths not seen before. Although not part of our typical rating system, I’ve given a higher total score also primarily due to the staggeringly low price point of $3.99, making it the perfect companion game to enjoy the last season with.

Swords take second place to statecraft as you employ your Tinder-honed swiping skills to keep your favorite GoT characters on the Iron Throne.

Destructoid: 7.5 / 10 by CJ Andriessen

Reigns: Game of Thrones doesn't reinvent the Reigns formula but it certainly gets more out of it than either of the last two games. With clever writing and a deductive approach to ruling from the Iron Throne, it's a great way to revisit the world of Westeros as we await the final season of the show. Just don't stay around for too long or you might find yourself growing bored fighting against the Dornishmen for the umpteenth time.
