### 1/5 — No asynchronous?!!

*2022-10-22*

U mean it???

### 4/5 — Sehr gutes Spiel!

*2021-12-25*

Leider nur zwei Karten und zu wenige Online-Spieler.

### 1/5 — Where is everyone?

*2021-04-22*

Bought the game but there is never anyone online to play against. So no point in having the game

### 4/5 — Пошаговая игрушка

*2021-03-18*

В целом неплохо. Но две карты для игры - это очень мало. Добавьте новых локаций

### 2/5 — Nice game, but the AI cheats.

*2020-12-08*

This is a well-designed game. It looks good and plays smoothly. So why only two stars from me? I’m quite certain that the AI cheats. When I played as the king, sometimes I had to leave one townsperson unguarded. And that person usually turned into an assassin.

Was that coincidence? So I played many more games. And I would deliberately leave one random townsperson unguarded, and in range of the king. And that person almost always turned into an assassin. So yes, the AI cheats. It’s so obvious it’s almost comical.

I’ve also played many games as the assassins where a knight will push through a crowd just to arrest an unexposed assassin. The whole thing is very weird.

### 2/5 — tolles spiel aber niemand ist online...

*2019-07-14*

es kann doch nicht sein dass ich der einzige mensch auf der ganzen erde bin der in der zeit in dem spielt nach einem einzigen partner sucht? entweder ist die multiplayerfunktion verbuggt/stark asubaufähig oder es spielt wirklich niemand das spiel

### 2/5 — Décevant

*2019-07-03*

Le jeu est intéressant tant du point de vue gameplay que graphisme mais l’expérience est vite gâchée par de trop nombreux bugs et l’absence totale de mise à jour. Vraiment dommage...

### 3/5 — Not badly done, jus not my thing

*2019-04-18*

It’s ok. Not badly done, just not my thing. There really isn’t much you can do to save the king. Handcuffs are random and pushing people out of the way doesn’t really help as Assassins can kill 2 guards as a time. Assassins really seem overpowered

There would be more to it in my view if the assassins could only bump off one guard at a time... then there could be more strategy with positioning of units to protect the king

### 4/5 — More maps

*2019-03-01*

Good game but it got old quickly it would be great if you guys made more maps

### 4/5 — Top Spiel mit zu wenig Spielern

*2019-02-08*

Tolles Spiel aber leider sind immer 0 Spieler online.
