### 2/5 — Major Performance Issues

*2026-08-27, version 1.03*

The game just freezes after playing for like 20 minutes on mobile. I love Reigns but this game unfortunately just doesn't function on my phone. It worked fine on my MacBook luckily, just a shame mobile is so buggy.

### 2/5 — Great premise but bugged

*2026-08-04, version 1.03*

Consistent crashes after swiping through a few cards. Disappointed. Hope there is a patch soon.

### 3/5 — Love the theme; wait for an update

*2026-08-02, version 1.03*

Always love Witcher themed games but it’s so buggy. Can only get through a couple cards before a crash or freeze.

### 3/5 — Glitchy and minigame isn’t fun

*2026-07-15, version 1.03*

I love the Witcher and I’ve enjoyed other Reigns games but this one is kind of a mess.

### 3/5 — Good Game too many bugs

*2026-07-14, version 1.03*

Currently too many bugs to be playable, shuts down or freezes whole (new) iphone often

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2026-07-09, version 1.03*

Game crashes on my iPhone 16 Pro.  Uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix anything. Freezes then game flickers till app is force closed.

### 2/5 — Unfortunately Doesn’t Work

*2026-07-06, version 1.03*

I’ve loved every single other Reigns game - also a huge Witcher fan, so this seemed like the perfect combination. The framework for the game is great. There’s a lot of variety and so much to do; however, that makes it all the more frustrating that the game is unplayable.

While it worked initially, the farther I’ve progressed, the more it’s been freezing and crashing. Not only that, but it locks up and freezes my entire phone for a couple of minutes. I really hope this gets fixed soon so I can give it another try since this game has so much potential. Please patch this asap! Thank you 🙏

### 1/5 — Game keeps locking up

*2026-06-26, version 1.03*

The game is very good but it keeps locking up. I cannot figure out why. I’ve reinstalled and started a new save and still happens. If it worked it would be 5 stars but when it happens it’s very disruptive. 

To fix I have to hold the lock and volume up button to show the shutdown screen and then exit that and force quit the app. Sometimes progress is saved sometimes not. It’s extremely frustrating. Will update review if this gets fixed

### 4/5 — A Cool Twist on a Great Game

*2026-06-26, version 1.03*

Reign’s had a spot in my heart since I played the first one ages ago. I’ve also loved the Witcher 3 since I also played it ages ago. Combined, it’s a fantastic blend of great references and fun new mechanics. Will say, only criticism I have is that the, “scoring” system (it’ll make sense when you start playing) takes a long time to tally. Other than that though, phenomenal game

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE

*2026-06-07, version 1.03*

The performance and stability are absolutely terrible! I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro, and I’ve never been able to play this game continuously for more than 3 minutes. It constantly freezes, crashes, and flickers… I have no idea where all these positive reviews are coming from. It’s awful!
