### 3/5 — multiplayer mode broken

*2025-11-24, version 1.0.3834*

redownloaded this to use the multiplayer mode but the game just glitches out whenever I try

### 1/5 — You need A Netflix account to play.

*2025-11-13, version 1.0.3834*

Can't play

### 1/5 — Great game, game breaking glitch

*2025-11-11*

I’m so sad, I would play this game every night before bed and one day I selected an option when you’re made to travel called “travel anywhere” or something and now my game is just a white screen when I try to continue. I just want a new game option, that’s all. For game breaking bugs like this.

It’s unfortunate, I don’t want to lose all of my data so I’m just hoping for an update. It wouldn’t be too difficult to just allow for a new game like that.

### 4/5 — Games is fun

*2025-10-20*

Crazy to me that’s it locked in Netflix should be it’s own game cus it has great playability long term. Only thing I’d complain abt is sometime u get locked into region and just have to give up on that life to get new cards in the next one but that might just be purposeful game design. Anyway I’d recommend to anyone reading this to play the game.

### 2/5 — Broken when traveling

*2025-08-30, version 1.0.3834*

Game is okay, but I got the option to “travel anywhere” and when I swiped to accept it, it froze. Nothing worked. Not even exiting the app fixes it. It is stuck like that.

### 3/5 — Really really fun when it works

*2025-07-17*

This game is very fun and addictive and has good mechanics despite sometimes scoring cards in terms of you getting closer to dying or not being weird, but its bugs have made me delete and redownload the game twice.

The first being the traveling bug which another reviewer spoke about which wouldn’t let you play the game after you picked the travel option.

The second was when a key character who died kept interacting with us and the emperor who resigned kept getting  gifts. I also stopped being able to complete quests and got stuck doing the same battle.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-07-15, version 1.0.3834*

I like the game, and for some reason people just rate this 1 star because they don’t got a Netflix subscription. So just letting u guys know, u need a subscription for Netflix to use this game.

### 3/5 — Repetitive

*2025-06-20, version 1.0.3834*

Exciting at first, but horribly repetitive and wasn’t able to keep me motivated to finish. Love the storyline and added aspects to make it different from the other reigns, but doesn’t particularly stand out. Gameplay is very odd, but simple, and I appreciate that.

### 5/5 — Fun, great storytelling

*2025-04-27, version 1.0.3834*

Reminds me of the late 1980s turn-based Nintendo game Nobunaga’s Ambition, but way better. Great premise (with some tech satire thrown in), excellent game mechanics. Some “storylines” might be buggy, and others are cut too short, but overall the best mobile game I’ve played in years.

### 1/5 — Cannot launch game

*2025-04-24, version 1.0.3834*

Requires Netflix account to play.
