## What is KR 1?

Kievan Rus’ is a strategy game with a focus on political maneuvering. Here war is just a tool of the trade.
 
This game enables you to play as the ruler of Kievan Rus’, one of the mightiest states of the world of that time. The Middle Ages is a setting that is truly a treasure for any strategy game fan. In the game, there are 35 states, and Barbarians, who have their own territory and resources. 

However, the ruler’s way to domination is not going to be a walk in the park. Get ready for deadly wars and backstairs politics – you will be confronted by the most powerful states of the game world, including England that dominates seas, Balkan states (Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia), and the Arab state of Syria, with a huge army at its disposal. So you think the Roman Empire has made great progress? Perhaps, you prefer European states, such as France and Scotland? Or it is Byzantium that you consider to be a good example? Let them know you are ready to fight head-to-head and build your own empire, and that you are a dictator and a strategist. Their aim is to advance their own civilization while preventing yours from doing so. Put your political foresight to the test and find out whether you are good at strategy and diplomacy – lead your country through ages.

To succeed, engage in wars with your rivals. Raise your own army and fleet, declare wars or start fighting in them when they are in full swing. Deploy spies and send saboteurs to your enemy country to find out what they are going to do. Invade states, conquer lands and capture rare resources.

A sagacious dictator is key to state policy success. Manage foreign affairs, conclude non-aggression pacts, and make suggestions to be considered by other states. Remember that diplomacy and well-thought-out policy are often more effective options than war. 

Don’t forget about state economic activities: produce food, and manufacture weapons for your army. Use researches to increase the amount of manufactured goods and military capability. However, a single civilization cannot produce everything, so you will have to trade with other states and buy rare resources and goods. 

Introduce new laws and make your citizens abide by them. You can establish the civilization religion of your choice. Appoint army and fleet commanders, and tax, trade, economy and construction chiefs. Separatism will not be tolerated: quell riots occurring in your state. Your empire will be mightiest, and diplomacy, weapons and economy will help you achieve it. 

The game uses real-life states that existed at that time, with real historic events. The large and detailed map will enable you to see information about your own territory and that of other countries. These are just the game basics: you can find out how much it offers only by playing it. 

The game does not require Internet connection, and you can play it anywhere you like. There is no set time limit for turns: you can choose the game pace to your liking. The geopolitical strategy set in the Middle Ages with a special focus on the Slavs is available on smartphones and tablets. It is a good way to spend time, as it combines entertainment and brain exercise.

### 3/5 — Игра очень нравится но к сожалению с большими минусами

*2026-03-06*

Здравствуйте дорогие разработчики! Игра очень зашла играю уже не 1 год но есть очень очень большие минусы: 1. Когда начинаешь игру у тебя такой дефицит товаров и всего в стране что его практически не возможно покрыть без доната в игру!!! 2. Очень Хотелось  бы что бы за просмотр рекламы доход в день был не + 30 а хотя бы + 100 то  и еще, чтобы когда смотришь рекламу на кристаллы было как минимум 50 за 1 рекламный ролик и вообще это реально очень мало 3. Когда ты начинаешь игру хотелось бы чтобы у тебя были хоть какие-нибудь стартовые ресурсы которые не за рекламу и донат а тебе изначально ( кристаллы которые выдаются я не считаю ну кроме кристаллов я имею в виду там пищу, снаряжение, ресурсы железо, алюминий медь, и т д ) бесплатно выдавались!! Я бы хотел бы чтобы обновили полностью систему религии для твоей страны, чтобы добавили больше баффов для религии, например если твоя страна изначально язычник то один дебафф на шанс нападения варваров и все! Одного нападения варваров явно очень мало!  4. Пожалуйста Дорогие Разработчики Усильте Мощь Византии на начало игры потому что я считаю что в реальной истории она была в году начала игры  наиболее сильной чем является в игре!! 5. Я ставлю этой игре 3 звезды потому что я смогу поставить этой игре 5 звезд только тогда когда разработчики добавят в обновлении игры все выше перечисленное спасибо разработчики за эту игру она мне честно нравится но я бы хотел бы видеть все выше перечисленное в игре. Спасибо за понимание!

### 2/5 — Good game but some of the worst ads!

*2025-10-12*

Ads that you have to click out of 4 times, ads that have a fake X pop up, and then when you exit out of those ads, the game gives you it's own fifth pop up advertising it's own premium version. Some of the worse/most annoying ads I've ever seen on an app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment! Free-to-play games take a lot of time and effort to make. Ads help us keep the game free, or you can get the Premium version to support us. Every bit of support means a lot, and we hope you’ll give the game a second chance!

### 5/5 — من الافضل التعديل على الدبلوماسية

*2025-09-16, version 1.0.23*

اللعبه جميله لاكن من الافضل اضافه بعض التعديل عليها من الافضل ان يوجد زر لدعم جميع سياسات الدول الأخرى و اذا اعلنت الحرب على دوله الدول البعيده لا تنقص علاقاتي معها  كل شي مكتمل بل لعبه الا الدبلوماسية

### 2/5 — доступность

*2025-09-15*

пожалуйста, сделайте игру доступной для незрячих на айфон.

**Developer response:** Благодарим за Ваш комментарий! Мы передали все пожелания для дальнейшего рассмотрения и надеемся Вы дадите игре второй шанс

### 5/5 — Крута гра

*2025-09-01, version 1.0.21*

Крута гра дуже сподобалось

### 4/5 — Es ist gut! Hier sind meine Verbesserungsvorschläge:

*2025-07-29*

1. Kredite
Es wäre gut, könnte man Kredite aufnehmen.
2.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment! We have forwarded all your suggestions for further consideration and hope you give the game second chance

### 1/5 — Нае*** завлекалово

*2025-07-24*

Жаль было потратить столько времени на эту игру и ее вторую версию. Как только начинаешь играть - сразу дефицит товаров, который покрыть невозможно. И ты почти сразу медленно катишься к проигрышу. Около суток убила на рекламу, которая так ничего и не дала. Донатить принципиально не буду. 

Адекватного вхождения не ждите. Его нет.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за комментарий! Есть много способов получить золото и ресурсы. Вы можете изучать исследования Экономики, нанимать специалистов, строить шахты, принимать экономические законы, менять религию, торговать товарами, вводить налоги, просить о помощи. Надеемся, Вы дадите игре второй шанс

### 5/5 — キエフルーシ

*2025-07-06*

とても楽しいです国民の不満が起きたら反乱があったり戦争があったりしてとても楽しかったです

**Developer response:** Thanks! We appreciate you liked our game 😊

### 5/5 — Ocena

*2025-07-04, version 1.0.12*

Gra super fajną jest aneksja oraz wygląd jednostek wojskowych

### 2/5 — Great
