  1. [R1] King's Choice 1/5 · US Bullying and Pay to play driven.: I stopped playing this game after several months. I tried on two different servers and I just can’t stand. You are bullied, or just told what to do in general. If the server has a hole has an agreement you have to abide by it. It would seem it’s more player run than company run. And yes, unless you have the money you are not helped. That’s all these games are abou
  2. [R3] King's Choice 3/5 · US Pay to win: i loved this game but to actually progress and get titles and win events it makes you pay for the ingame items. ive done it. got ranked #1 in an event just for some guy who had to pay like 100 bucks just to beat me i bet this game wouldnt be a thing if the guy quits the game he’s been playing since 2023.
  3. [R4] King's Choice 2/5 · US Sometimes P2P, just cash grab.: This game can be a real pain sometimes for several reasons. The fact that others can basically harass others because they’re stronger and have deeper pockets is insane. I’m not talking about winning events because money. I’m talking about targeting and suppressing other players because the person is trash and has no common decency. That said, there are also a lot
  4. [R16] King's Choice 2/5 · US Take it or leave it: I’ve been playing for 3 years, I’ve spent 23 thousand dollars on this game, I’m not even ranked in the top 100 in my block of servers. That should tell you enough. Why do I stay? The people I’ve met and the relationships I’ve formed. I’m in one of the top alliances in the game. Most of us have backed off spending and it’s getting harder and harder to compete and win. This is g
  5. [R5] King's Choice 4/5 · US Best Game Ever: This is a great RPG game with each server creating their own rules. It is social and competitive at the same time. One thing I hate about Kings Choice is having minors trying to tell every adult what to do. It would be fine if it made sense. I would like to see the game 21+ only. The “lovers” are not appropriate for children under 18 There are little changes that could make it a
  6. [R7] King's Choice 1/5 · US Devs never listen to players - don’t care about stalking: Don’t play this game. I’ve been playing since 2021. The devs don’t listen to players, they don’t care there is BLATANT bullying and stalking using “normal “ game mechanisms. I’ve been stalked during events, in cross kingdom chat, on DI DAILY for over a year and of course on discord which OneMT encourages everyone to participate in. I have
  7. [R2] King's Choice 4/5 · US Good but be wary of in app purchases: I've been playing this game for years, I love it. It has fun event games and rankings. However, if you accidentally click on something purchasable, there is no confirmation and it just took money out of my Apple Pay. I explained to them and they just responded no refunds.
  8. [R28] King's Choice 1/5 · US Frustrated: Doesn’t take player feedback seriously or even listen to player concerns. Takes away core aspects of the game because it doesn’t make enough money. Won’t refund packages for events that have not shown up in over a year.
  9. [R37] King's Choice 2/5 · US Bait and switch: I’ve been playing this game for almost 3 years and while it is fun and addictive at times the developers are so focused on making events that force players to spend more that they are losing the essence of the game. What draws you in is the knight building and strategy of using the knights to win early events but the longer you play they take the events away that are important for
  10. [R12] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Three good years, then it became a chore: Played Kings Choice for three years, so this isn’t a quick rage-review, there was a lot to genuinely enjoy here. The core loop is solid, the alliance system gave it a real sense of investment and community, especially if you get yourself in a good alliance on a good server. I don’t mind a grind; I went in knowing what kind of game this was. What eventuall
  11. [R24] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Good game but gets boring: I enjoyed it for a while. It’s a good idle game and the story’s great. But, after a while you drift away from the game as it starts to get boring. Sorry, not my style of game. Best of luck to your game, Arimaybee.
  12. [R41] King's Choice 4/5 · US King’s Choice…🤔: I played it for a while, but I lost interest in it after a while. It felt like more of a chore than anything else.
  13. [R15] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Ads: Yeah look the ads are nothing like this game so if you came here from an ad- its not like them.
  14. [R22] King's Choice 2/5 · US It sucked not like ads at at: The ads were sooo much better the game itself is overwhelming with too many things going on but not like the ad at all change the ad
  15. [R27] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Not what adds say.: This may seem like a good game (which it is) yet it’s not what adds say. Still fun thou.
  16. [R34] King's Choice 1/5 · US Not the same: I was looking forward to the game being exactly like the ads. the game is nothing like it.
  17. [R6] King's Choice 3/5 · US One shade of skin tone: Will you guys ever update the game to have more skin tones? Or is it set to pale only
  18. [R43] King's Choice 1/5 · US Extreme lacking in diversity: 98% of the games characters are white. Severely lacking in diversity. 1 point for allowing swapping of genders for love interests, but overall, 0/10 would not recommend.
  19. [R30] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Started well but now game won’t open: Been playing the last few days it’s a good game the ads are not the best representation but still a good game I enjoy the gameplay but now the game crashes and won’t open. If it game loads it just cuts out so I can’t play
  20. [R33] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Issues: I absolutely love this game but there are times it can start to lag. Then today it keeps crashing on me and won’t let me onto the game at all!
  21. [R39] King's Choice 3/5 · GB Lovely game but...: I've only played this today and it looks really good but everytime I go onto another part of the story it tells me that I don't have enough space. I've deleted over 40 photos yet it still says so. Please fix this I really want to play this game.
  22. [R52] Royal Match 5/5 · US I love this game so much: I can play for hours
  23. [R53] Royal Match 2/5 · US It’s okay: The game is a good game to pass time, rewards are garbage, so you will end paying money to play. The one good thing is you can play with out service.
  24. [R54] Royal Match 5/5 · US Review: The best game ever!!!! Thank you ❤️!!!
  25. [R56] Royal Match 5/5 · US Best Game: I love this game it helps me relax and keeps me entertained. 5/5
  26. [R65] Royal Kingdom 2/5 · US Royal Kingdom Review: So they don’t give you enough opportunity to get coins and you end up spending money.
  27. [R66] Royal Kingdom 5/5 · US Fun game: No ads! That’s the best
  28. [R67] Royal Kingdom 3/5 · US Royal Match with Twist: I’m on level 5333 in Royal Match and was excited to see they made Royal Kingdom, which seemed to be like it was actually like the ads for Royal Match (where the king is being crushed and you have to make matches to let the room leak out). This game has those levels but it’s only a minor part of the game, the rest of the game actually is exactly Royal Match. I’m not going to
  29. [R68] Royal Kingdom 2/5 · US Fake: The game is nothing like the ad. I am very disappointed in this game.
  30. [R79] King's Throne 2/5 · US Potential, but malfunctions: It has potential. I was starting to have fun with it. But then it would start to show ads at random times, which I am okay with for a free game. But the ads would go on and on, and literally there was no way to get out of them and back to the game without quitting. It became unplayable and I am deleting it.
  31. [R80] King's Throne 5/5 · US Bom muito bom: 10
  32. [R81] King's Throne 3/5 · US Its igh: Weird
  33. [R82] King's Throne 1/5 · US A slog: Very dated gameplay, been playing for a few years and it just becomes tiring with the same few events and bugs and glitches that never get patched. Been trying to get support for some event problems…i’m vip7 and only get useless chatbot responses. They then asked me to submit a review, so here it is. Time to quit, no more money from me!
  34. [R93] Game of Sultans 1/5 · US Disgusting game that condones bullying: To preface: I have been playing this game for YEARS and have spent so much money on it. I get bullied on my server for absolutely no reason and no one from this game cares or will do anything at all. they care about is if someone makes them money right? Disgusting. I got kicked out from coalitions because about SEVEN people decided to gang up on me. I asked
  35. [R94] Game of Sultans 4/5 · US Love the game not the ppl: I’ve been on this game forever and I always just played and not interacted with other players and now I see why. This is an insane group of bored people. Some have like 12 profiles they run in one union! They will be one person acting like different people like gaming catfish. And they get verrryyyy intense over those badges.
  36. [R95] Game of Sultans 3/5 · US Money dump: It used to be a game about a sultan, but now it's a money dump with a bunch of unnecessary functions
  37. [R96] Game of Sultans 1/5 · US Mayhem aka Jamie Myers aka POS: The game is a money grab POS
  38. [R107] Fate of the Empress 1/5 · US …: TERRIBLE the thing to put in the name didint let me, I tried everything
  39. [R108] Fate of the Empress 4/5 · US I love it but it's missing something: I love this game. I played it for a couple of months ago and deleted it for storage, but I got it again and really enjoy it. However, it’s really sad to me that you can’t have a kid or a relationship with an NPC. I don’t really like having to interact with other players in any way. The main reason I installed it was because I was told they allowed LGBTQ relati
  40. [R109] Fate of the Empress 3/5 · US Too Much Server Crashes: A very fun game, but too much server verifications.
  41. [R110] Fate of the Empress 2/5 · US Would rate higher if i was able to play: i have played this game before and recommend it. Now that i've redownloaded it, i cannot play. i have logged in with game center, and are playing with an iphone 16 with lots of extra storage. I have tried switching servers but it keeps just saying "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden."
  42. [R51] Royal Match 1/5 · US ITS JUST WHATEVER ATP: I download this game a long time ago. I redownloaded it again good thing my account was there there! Anyways back to why I rate it a 1. This game is so much fun. WELL IT USED TO🙄. I had so many money and I keep on messing a round up but I used all my money now I have 100 smth. It’s so unfair because if you don’t want to pay to get more moves you lose some stuff like that’s a
  43. [R55] Royal Match 1/5 · US Cheating: This game cheats and makes you spend money over and over if you want to win. My 30 minute free time gets used up trying to beat ONE LEVEL!! It happens too often. I’m just not going to play anymore.
  44. [R100] Game of Sultans 4/5 · US Fun game but..: The game is really fun I enjoy it but I just wish they could add some things I’m not to far into the game I played it a while ago and I’m just now picking it up again and some things had obviously changed but I just wish the game had more of a story line like in the beginning it has a story but I wish it kept on going with that, like it makes the game more interesting to me. I also
  45. [R103] Game of Sultans 5/5 · US A message from an Alexander fan: I started playing this game when I started college when it was an ad on tumblr, and made friends with the other players on a discord dedicated to the game. I don’t remember my first play through but I decided to play it again along with those friends, I love that there’s a story aspect in the form of a visual novel, but my only request as of right now, is to be abl
