## What is Royal Roads Chapter 3?

The kingdom Laina has led in recent years has not known trouble, and all life has been peaceful and quiet. But Laina knew that magic was closely intertwined with reality, and sooner or later the days of trouble would come, and evil would reoccur.
The queen had received word that the elders of the other kingdoms needed her help. It was not in the Queen's spirit to refuse friends who were counting on her, and she advanced to the palace to negotiate, taking her faithful helper Atia with her.
The elders met Laina and her friend, but decided to tell them of their impending disaster, for they had enough information that no time should be wasted.
The head of the elders told about the existence of an evil mage, who is strong, but he does not have enough power to take over the kingdoms alone, at the same time he is so sick with lust for power, and is ready to go to any lengths for it, even to bring warriors from other worlds. But the fate of the kingdoms is not sealed - as long as it is possible to destroy the portal, through which the sorcerer would like to implement his plan. The Council agrees that Laina has had much experience in dealing with evil spells, feel in her strength and the light necessary to fight evil and restore harmony in the world.

### 3/5 — Teil 1 ist deutlich besser

*2026-02-11, version 1.0.0*

Das Spiel ist als Kaufversion für (momentan) 11,99 € zu haben, man kann es aber auch in der Gratisversion mit Werbung spielen. Was mich ärgert: ziemlich am Anfang bekommt man das Angebot, das Spiel für 17,99 € zu kaufen, verbunden mit der „Drohung“: „Kaufen Sie jetzt. Es wird nicht billiger.“ Ein Level später kann man das Spiel mit einem Sonderrabatt für 11,99 € (der Normalpreis) kaufen und ab und zu gibt es ein einminütiges Kaufangebot von 9,99 €. Warum diese ganzen Irreführungen? 
Auf den ersten Blick hat dieser Teil 50 Levels, aber auf dem Hauptschirm findet sich eine kleine Karte mit einem Plus, wenn man darauf drückt, bekommt man die Level 51 bis 60. 

Ärgerlich ist der Energiebalken, der links so weit ins Spielfeld ragt, dass er zu sammelnde Objekte verdeckt oder gern auch mal mitten durch ein Gebäude geht. Man kann dann kaum erkennen, was man für ein Update braucht, ob das Gebäude für ein Update bereit ist oder Rohstoffe zum Einsammeln bereit sind. Manchmal sind Gebäude auch so nah am Rand, dass sie nur zu einem Viertel zu sehen und deshalb schwer zu bespielen sind. Anscheinend ist das aber nicht bei allen Geräten der Fall, ich spiele auf einem iPad.

Das größte Manko ist allerdings, dass man beim Antippen eines Gebäudes oder Hindernisses nur sieht, welche Rohstoffe fehlen, nicht, was die benötigte Gesamtmenge ist. Ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht, wird beim Antippen sofort gebaut, bzw abgebaut. Man erfährt auch nicht, wieviele Rohstoffe in den einzelnen Stufen ausgegeben werden, das darf man sich selbst ausrechnen. Somit lässt sich das eigene Vorgehen überhaupt nicht planen. 

Dieser Teil lässt im Vergleich zum ersten stark nach. Die Level sind sich alle sehr ähnlich, hauptsächlich müssen einfach Rohstoffe gesammelt werden, ohne dass man sie wirklich braucht, und es gibt nicht wirklich eine Geschichte dazu. Nach Level 60 ist einfach Schluss. Ich hätte zumindest hier einen kurzen Text erwartet. Es fehlen die üblichen Boni für Schnelligkeit, Produktion und Zeit. Es geht alles furchtbar langsam. Zwerge und Elfen spielen im Gegensatz zum ersten Teil keine Rolle. Ich habe sogar die nervigen Diebe vermisst, die sorgten immerhin für etwas Abwechslung.

Und noch etwas: wenn man zu einem früheren Level zurückgeht, beispielsweise, um sein Ergebnis zu verbessern, ist der Fortschritt weg. Dann muss man alle folgenden Level nochmal spielen. Sein Ergebnis zu verbessern ist im Nachhinein aber sowieso schwierig, weil man nicht sehen kann, wieviel Sterne man erzielt hat. Es gibt nur Level geschafft oder nicht.
Irgendwie kommt es mir so vor, als hätten die Entwickler nicht viel Lust gehabt, ein abwechslungsreiches und herausforderndes Spiel zu gestalten. Hier wurde sehr viel Potenzial verschenkt.

### 4/5 — Bien mais …

*2025-07-23, version 1.0.0*

Bloqué au niveau 50 après avoir terminé les quêtes 
Je joue sur iPad

### 1/5 — Royal Roads 3:  Portals

*2024-12-14, version 1.0.0*

I had no trouble purchasing this game, played all levels with no problem.  Level 50 cannot be completed or the portal destroyed.  The game was fun.  5 stars if level 50 is fixed.    Dec. 2024..Just was notified by Apple that the problem with level 50 was solved.   I reinstalled the game and now cannot get Restore Purchase  button to work.  I’m not paying twice for your games!

### 3/5 — This is fun but easy

*2024-01-25*

The difficulty level of this game is moderate. It would be better if there was a “normal” and “hard” mode to choose from. Also, letting us play separate games under new “player” names would improve this. Unfortunately, the last level had an internal error that made the final task impossible to finish (character just runs endlessly), so I never could finish the game.

### 3/5 — Some levels don’t work

*2023-11-03, version 1.2*

A good game but it skipped levels 12, 14, 17 and 19 and level 50 does not work properly so cannot be completed.

### 4/5 — Still worth the money

*2023-10-31, version 1.2*

Great game even though the last level is broken and can’t be completed.

### 1/5 — Can’t finish

*2023-09-06, version 1.2*

You can’t finish level 50. I saw a review from a year ago and figured you would have fixed it. It is not fixed.

### 4/5 — Good with on e annoying glitch

*2023-06-12, version 1.2*

I’m enjoying the game… however… the whole playing screen does not show on an iPad.  The edges are cutoff often making it impossible to see a resource on the far sides of the playing field.

### 3/5 — Good

*2023-05-07, version 1.2*

The game is good, however I am on level 50 and completed all tasks with appropriate resources but the elf can’t seem to destroy the portal. What can I do

### 3/5 — Bad UX, but Game is Good Once You Know

*2023-03-25, version 1.0*

I'd give it 3 stars because Level 3 was impossible without the meta buildings upgrades, which was introduced too late and was impossible to find. Without the upgrades, Level 3 and beyond literally could NOT be completed with ANY stars. I had to dig and dig online to find an answer. Finally I discovered upgrading meta buildings. The game itself doesn't tell you about the buildings until well AFTER level 3!! Even then, it's in such a bizarre place:  buried under the gear, and called "meta buildings"!! No normal gameplayer would think that means upgrades. 
Also, a gear is a universal icon for settings. Burying upgrades there that are necessary to enjoy -- let alone complete -- the game makes no sense. It's all a terrible UX choice that I believe will cost the game good reviews. 
There's even a review in the Apple App store that doesn't say this directly, but the author is so frustrated with certain elements of gameplay that point directly to them not having upgraded anything. I assume they probably missed the directions on how to upgrade meta buildings. Or they were stuck on a level before it was even introduced. Given that it's nearly impossible to discover how to do it on one's own if you missed the direction, I will again reiterate that it came faaaar too late into gameplay. Extremely frustrating.
