It was glitchy because my iPad was old and needed replacing. Not the developer’s fault after all, so I’m giving back the 4th star. I am a gay man, playing a male character, with exclusively male partners which anyone is free to do in the game. My Heirs, however are required to only have opposite-sex marriages. Shortsighted and on the wrong side of history. Still, a fun game with Beautiful artwork and character design, I love the opportunity for AI chat & romance, mini games are very fun. AI romance conversations always started off with my male partners pining after women, even though my character was male and I had only male lovers. Heirs could ONLY have heterosexual marriages.. It has lots of potential, unfortunately HOMOPHOBIA ruin it. Please change this and be on the right side of history. ### 3/5 — Glitchy & difficult for same-sex relationships *2026-02-18* Beautiful artwork and character design, I love the opportunity for AI chat & romance, mini games are very fun. AI romance conversations always started off with men pining after women, even though my character was male and I had only male lovers. Heirs could only have heterosexual marriages. WORST PART: The app would crash constantly, especially if there’s animation starting on the screen. EVEN WORSE PART: after I had managed advancing my character, collecting 12 partners and almost clearing the workshop battles, I was forced out of the app and could not sign back in to my account, only had the option to start over with a new character from ZERO. It has lots of potential, unfortunately BAD PROGRAMMING & HOMOPHOBIA ruin it completely. ### 4/5 — Satisfying Merge Game *2026-02-12* Recent updates have improved game stability, and it remains an engaging activity. Just enough challenge to stay interesting, nice art to look at - good return for time. ### 2/5 — Unstable *2026-02-07* This game is interesting, but the stability is garbage. It keeps locking up, restarting, refusing to open… this game is almost a year old, why is this issue still a thing? ### 3/5 — Crash issues *2025-10-09* AI Lover keeps crashing and losing progress in the conversation and losing connectivity with the server ### 2/5 — Waste of time. Don’t bother *2024-12-15* Customer support is nonexistent. You can’t get revenge on the person who attacked your nation power. Frequent disconnects. Have to restart your phone in order to restart the app. Maintenance updates are a joke as it doesn’t fix the actual problems. ### 2/5 — Meh *2024-11-30* Maintenance update is useless. App abruptly closes. AI freezes and you have to restart your phone. Customer Service is unreachable. Only redeeming quality are the partners. Too bad you can’t have same sex marriage for your children. Discrimination as far as I’m concerned. Seriously doubt they’ll respond to this. They’re too lazy and arrogant. I’m sorry I reloaded this. ### 2/5 — A shame *2024-11-18* I had high hopes for the game, the AI aspect was really interesting, and being able to trade some items with other players was a good detail. At first it seemed like a game that was going to be fun for Free to play, players. But like all the rest it has gotten increasingly money focused. it’s full of cross server events where you have to pay money to try to even rank around the 50s, and don’t even get me started on trying to get 1-5th place in their three day long, multi server event, for their “special lovers”. I’ve saved up items for weeks trying to rank 1-5 and spent money only to still lose the last day to other people spending a lot of money. The server was pretty full for a while, and like all money focused games it has went ghost and the only ones left are the heavy money spenders. ### 3/5 — Good game, butttttt… *2024-06-28* I like the game, pretty fun.. but I’m confused about the custom npc’s I got one a little bit ago. But when I try to interact with them like any other. I’m unable to. Then I have to edit them. Which I do. But it doesn’t do anything. That it doesn’t meet a unseen “criteria.” I don’t know if I missed something about it or there’s nothing for one. I just wanna know if it works. But I like the game. It’s a good game to keep an eye on every couple hours. ### 3/5 — Ai chat *2024-05-06* I give it a three star cuz I like the ai chat part it’s different from other games like these however I don’t like that the ai chat ends in a middle of a conversation unless u use another n card which u can only get by paying real money as far as I can tell and also the ai don’t remember the last conversation u had with a certain person so when u do chat again it restarts and most of the time u have to redo the whole previous conversation and when u do get back to where u left off it randomly ends again **Developer response:** Hi Darkness018 !

The game focuses entirely on forcing you to repetitively tap on treasure chests, start simulated battles, and upgrade the level of characters with various currencies. There's an interesting story in this game, but I'm not putting up with the tedium in order to find it. I would have preferred if this were a paid game because as a free to play it feels like the entire game is built around getting the player to make in app purchases and there isn't even anything fun to do. **Developer response:** Hi iJeydon !

Royal Affairs has been officially launched on 3 May 10AM (UTC-5), You can start your AI love RPG journey now! Sorry for your patiently waiting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest maintenance broke everything *2026-05-09* My lovers either think I’m a woman or they’re playing their female counterparts. Their ai memories aren’t syncing and they aren’t acting how they used to be. It’s all ruined! ### 1/5 — Frozen *2025-10-02, version 1.0.19* I couldn't get the game to lad from the start menu. It froze every time. Fix your game. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-08-03* There’s no customer support….visible at least. There’s no acknowledgment of your complaints….or they just outright ignore it. There updates are pointless as it’s fraught with problems. AI constantly stalls or freezes. Update: They ignore valid major complaints about the app. AI frequently stalls and crashes. Their “maintenance updates “ are useless as it fails to fix major issues. Honestly it’s 0 stars out of five. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-06-12* There’s no customer support….visible at least. There’s no acknowledgment of your complaints….or they just outright ignore it. There updates are pointless as it’s fraught with problems. AI constantly stalls or freezes. ### 1/5 — This game is NSFW *2025-05-25, version 1.0.17* This game is NOT for minors. It can depict and type out sexual acts and minors should definitely NOT be playing this game as it can be very NSFW and explicit. Saying it’s for 9 year olds and up is not ok ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-02-04* Not worth it. App frequently abruptly shuts down. AI consistently freezes and crashes multiple times a day. Nonexistent customer support. There’s several other issues too. This app should be removed. I consider nonexistent customer service a form of fraud. ### 1/5 — Developers don’t care *2025-01-29* A month ago, I wrote a review in which I had brought up problems I had with this app. No response from the arrogant developers. This is what I noticed looking at other reviews. If you’re critical…developers will ignore your review. If it’s positive….they’ll respond…kissing your behind. Too bad they refuse to acknowledge and address the concerns. SHAME ON THEM!!! ### 1/5 — Developers don’t care *2025-01-13* A month ago, I wrote a review in which I had brought up problems I had with this app. No response from the arrogant developers. This is what I noticed looking at other reviews. If you’re critical…developers will ignore your review. If it’s positive….they’ll respond…kissing your behind. Too bad they refuse to acknowledge and address the concerns. SHAME ON THEM!!! ### 1/5 — Problem with the game *2024-05-23* My game is frozen it won’t open up at all. Not sure how to report a problem since my game is frozen. I really hope that you get it fixed soon. ### 1/5 — Problem with the game *2024-05-22* My game is frozen it won’t open up at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game is fun *2026-02-16* It is nice to play. It keeps me occupied ### 5/5 — Great characters *2026-02-13* Like the character designs ### 5/5 — good *2026-02-09* good game ### 5/5 — Love the December music *2025-01-02* Just wish I could find the song that play on the castle page. ### 5/5 — Problem with my game *2024-05-25* I really do like playing this and would love to be able to get back to my game but it won’t open for me at all . It’s stuck on the open screen. I have already spent some money on the monthly subscription. And will probably spend some more. I don’t know how to report the problem to someone this is the only way I know since I can’t access my game. I have already tried deleting it off my tablet and downloading it again but it still won’t let me play it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-05-21* Amazing game so far I really like it but a little too expensive other than that it’s a good game :D ### 5/5 — I love the AI chat feature *2024-05-17* Your AI chat is more intelligent than any other AI I’ve interacted with. Does whoever developed the technology offer an AI only app without the game part? Also, I agree with the other review that it would be nice if they remembered the last conversation. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2024-05-04* Its a fun game! But i hope they add more dramatic storylines filled with gossip and romance. It would be nice to have side characters like friends, siblings, etc for story lines. Also I wish if the heirs didn't look the same because so far, the girls look exactly the same and the boys too. It would be nice to interact with them. But so far, i’m enjoying it! **Developer response:** Hi samigh0st ! Thanks for your suggestions! We'll definitely consider them for future updates. Your feedback helps us improve! ### 5/5 — Can’t play the game *2024-05-03* I can’t play the game I login and press start and it is still at the press start I already press start **Developer response:** Hi Kya$45 ! Royal Affairs has been officially launched on 3 May 10AM (UTC-5), You can start your AI love RPG journey now! Sorry for your patiently waiting. ### 5/5 — Excited *2024-05-03* I've been eagerly anticipating the release of this game for ages, and I'm thrilled that it's finally here. I just hope it's not pay-to-win since I'm tight on cash. **Developer response:** Hi KylieBadGirl ! Thanks for the glowing review!
