- [R8] King's Choice Not my usual game type…..: I gotta say, this isn’t the type of game that I normally play -to be completely honest, I don’t really have a clue what I’m doing or what I’m supposed to be doing, there are soooo many different aspects… but even so I find myself poking around in hopes I’m making some sort of progress and so far I seem to be🤷🏼♀️
- [R9] King's Choice Pros & Cons: So most of the mini games are fun. A few just take too long and no good instructions. Can be hard going for a title when being at work 5 days per week. Brings together team work! 1 major negative is inactive players NEVER get removed. No way of booting a bad player from a server either.
- [R11] King's Choice Sir Alexander: I usually don’t write reviews but this game is to awesome not to. I like the large variety of task and missions to complete. I also like the team effort it takes for some missions along with the historical significance of the game. All and all, I would recommend this game to others.
- [R14] King's Choice Good game once you learn: Took me awhile to figure this game out but it’s basically a bunch of mini games and leveling up your knights. It’s really addicting and I like it a lot.
- [R12] King's Choice Fun if you have plenty of time and money: I found this game enjoyable to play, but it demands a lot of time and attention. Also, if you want to be competitive, you need to spend money lots of it.
- [R30] King's Choice 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
- [R31] King's Choice So much: I’ve tried playing this game three times because the ads make it look fun. The tutorial alone is so much information. Its leads you though nose and doesn’t allow you to explore anything at first. Can’t restart. Very overwhelming.
- [R18] King's Choice Dies after a while: The game was pretty fun when I played it, obviously I have my griefs with it like the lack of skin variability for the Kings and Queens, there was absolutely 0 real chat moderation, it was easy to get into spats with other players, and it is pay to win. For the most part it was fun, I played it consistently for almost a year. Unfortunately, your server does die after a while. P
- [R48] King's Choice 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
- [R51] King's Choice 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!
- [R63] Fate of the Empress Too Much Server Crashes: A very fun game, but too much server verifications.
- [R1] King's Choice 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
- [R2] King's Choice 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.
- [R3] King's Choice 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.
- [R4] King's Choice 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
- [R5] King's Choice 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
- [R7] King's Choice 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
- [R19] King's Choice Pay to Play Only: If you’re looking for a casual game for fun. Don’t bother. The game is full of toxic people who shell out hundreds of dollars for events. If you don’t spend, you can’t ever win.
- [R27] King's Choice Money hungry: If you’re a lawyer or a doctor and you have money to just throw around then definitely get this game because it’s gonna require it just to get anywhere. The items that you buy in game don’t actually give what they say they could give they give the lowest amount possible every single time. They do events back to back so you’re forced to spend money like everyone else just to stay rele
- [R22] King's Choice 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
- [R33] King's Choice Ads: Yeah look the ads are nothing like this game so if you came here from an ad- its not like them.
- [R34] King's Choice Not the same: I was looking forward to the game being exactly like the ads. the game is nothing like it.
- [R45] King's Choice Not what adds say.: This may seem like a good game (which it is) yet it’s not what adds say. Still fun thou.
- [R10] King's Choice Fun game ruined by hive mind players: It’s a fun game, but it gets taken over by overbearing players who have multiple accounts on multiple servers who blacklist you if you don’t play the game exactly how they want you to. You need to participate in an Alliance to progress, and if you get blacklisted, you are stuck and cannot move forward. I played in good faith and was friendly with everyone. W
- [R15] King's Choice The good and the bad: The game over all is very fun to play and one of my absolute favourites. The multitude of events is nice and the teamwork makes it so much fun. However there is unfortunately a very toxic environment amongst players in some aspects of the game. With every competitive game comes very competitive people. This game is fun to play but stay safe.
- [R53] King's Choice Best game/community: This mobile game has turned out to be more than passing the time. The people I play with have become a community and fun times and great conversations!
