  1. [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
  2. [R9] King's Choice 3/5 · US 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.
  3. [R11] King's Choice 5/5 · US 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.
  4. [R14] King's Choice 5/5 · US 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.
  5. [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
  6. [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.
  7. [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
  8. [R12] King's Choice 3/5 · US 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.
  9. [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
  10. [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
  11. [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.
  12. [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.
  13. [R48] 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
  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. [R31] King's Choice 1/5 · US 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.
  16. [R33] 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.
  17. [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.
  18. [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
  19. [R19] King's Choice 1/5 · US 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.
  20. [R46] King's Choice 1/5 · US Nothing like the ads at all: Downloading this was like seeing an ad for an iPhone 17 then getting handed a flip phone from 2004. I deleted it.
  21. [R64] 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!
  22. [R67] King's Throne 1/5 · US Game lags and unfair practices poor support: Not only games have lags but also a poor support. When you report a bug or issue either your ticket gets closed without resolution or explanation or never get answered. When you pay in game there are not only hidden charges but also issue in top up Quantities. I will say Don’t waste time playing this game even if you do enjoy playing free don’t waste a
