Reigns Gets Release Date For PC, iOS & Android
Majestic developer Nerial and its humble servants at Devolver Digital have announced that regal card game Reigns is set to release on the App Store, Google Play, and Steam on August 11. Swipe left, swipe right, and rule your kingdom as you see fit while appeasing the most influential factions of the kingdom and avoiding usurpers at every turn.
Aspiring monarchs will need to survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from their advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk! Over 750 unique cards, interconnected story paths, and surprise events assure that no two reigns are ever the same.
Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker spoke about Reigns, saying:
“Pretty hyped to also announce that your good buddy Fork makes an appearance in Reigns. If you find my elusive card you become the legal owner of Devolver Digital, straight up Willy Wonka style. Just kidding, you’re going to be poor forever.”
Reigns is set to have a number of key features, including:
- An Unpredictable Kingdom: Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch.
- Dynasty Expansion: Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.
- Royal Challenges: Achieve specific goals set before you at the start of your reign to cement your legacy and unlock new cards and content within the kingdom.
- Eclectic Presentation: An inspiring score from Disasterpeace compliment elegant gameplay and a bold art direction for a sublime experience as you rule over your people.
The most skilled rulers will carefully track their dynasty as they find new and more inventive ways to die at the hands of those they rule over. Royal challenges like marriage, alliances, and simply living to see 30 or fathering an heir give short-term goals and long-term rewards in new cards and content.
