What Makes Monarchia Stand Out
Your decisions will determine how long you will be on the throne.
You're the only one who can rule in the monarchy! As long as you are on the throne, everyone will have their wishes, each election will affect another power of your empire. You have to keep the balance, so you don't lose the throne.
You will need to make decisions to protect your land with your throne. With simplified versions of true war tactics in history such as the conquest of Constantinople, the Battle of Thermopia, the Battle of Nigbolu, the Battle of Deligrad, and the siege of Alaşehir, you will make the conquests as commander.
Every month you reign, you face a different challenge. Your elections will have consequences for the state treasury, the people, the army, and your authority. Your tactics in battles will determine whether you can conquer more territory besides the problems of your kingdom. You'll have to deal with wars, assassins, and mysterious guests. At the same time, the demands of your clergy, people, palace dynasty will offer you difficult choices.
As a ruler, you must make impulsive, tolerant, cruel, or loving decisions to avoid losing power. You must make choices by considering the intrigues of the palace and prolonging your stay on the throne because there are many suitors on the throne.
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Great game love it just wish that if you lose from one of the four bars you have like your kids keep going for you but if you die/lose from battle its game over.
You notice games like this but most of them are quite often the same. This game adds features that are different from other games that use the slide feature to make your choices, with consequences and rewards. Instrad of boring you to death by being repetitive, there is a chance of randomness and it is unique because you also get to conquer land, and manage your nation. For people who just ordered in their new iPhone, this game runs perfectly on it.
Not to mention this is a blatant copy of the Reigns franchise. It is full of poor grammar which makes decision-making difficult at times. Military tactics do not make sense.
For a story type of game, we would have expected way better grammar and story lines that actually made sense. Waste of money.
100% a ripoff of Reigns. Still fun though.
Im having a lot of fun in this game, however we find it quite annoying how when we go over in a certain category, the next turn we have a card that can get us back down but it just ends that current game. We also think you should be able to start in other places, but besides that Its a good game.
So we recently bought this game and its very good for what it is we play a lot of reigns so its fun to see a game like this with different battle strategies and we think it expands a lot on the original Reigns game we know this is a different game from reigns but still expands in our opinion but we would like to recommend some features number 1 being knowing what effects choices will have in reigns their was a little dot on top of the different icons and what not that would tell you if it would be effected we think a feature like that would make the game even better also you should add more historical figures since their a good amount already another thing is being able to place different countries other than turkey and maybe you could add different time periods over all great game.
This game is the better Reigns. The choices and how things play out are amazing. If the devs added a family tree and a way to see your relatives and heirs it would be double amazing. Other than that, game is perfect.
We beg for this. We saw a suggestion and we really want it. Your empire should stay until all your family members are gone and there are no successors to the throne. Then its game over. That would be so cool.
Very great concept. The game could just use a little more customization and allow for more visible rewards for good decisions made for your empire.
This game comes from a cool design and idea, but a rather poor implementation. There is no action, which we expected from the reviews and pictures. Most of it is swiping right or left, which we think most people prefer to leave with their dating apps.
This is basically a crummy standalone sequel to Reigns. Its entertaining for about 20 minutes until you realize the monotony of the game itself. This game just feels unfinished and mundane with a fraction of the decision making that Reigns has. To be fair we havent completed this game so maybe there is some charm hidden away somewhere. Otherwise Im disappointed that it didnt live up to the quality of its predecessor, Reigns.
We really like the game. Ive been playing non-stop for two days. We definitely recommend you to buy.
Overall it is a very good game. We just wish there was more choices and decisions to make. We feel as if it goes by too fast because too many wrong choices or the wrong tactic can take you out quickly. It should also have save states to save data and expand more on the treasury, army and etc.
We saw it on an ad and we decided to try it. It feels nice and its like a game we played a while ago called reign except its better. This game has a map and battles and we feel like Im in game of thrones. But in real life.
Ive learned all the right military tactics, so winning every battle became too easy too fast, more complex battle mechanics would be cool! Also some of them dont make sense from a strategic point, for example its always better to fight in the field then in a city, in a city you can lose the whole army fast! Also some kind of dynasty system would be cool! You could build a family tree, and if all of them die, you need to start over, instead of when each sultan dies.
We like the game. Our only issue thus far is that a lot of the grammar is incorrect and it can sometimes be a bit difficult to decode exactly what a character is saying. This is by no means a dealbreaker for us, and we still like it a lot, just a small gripe we hope to see worked on in the future.
We love this game! It is very fun and engaging. We think the balance mechanic makes the game so entertaining. While it is fun to try to get further with every new monarch, we think the game would be more fun if there was a different game type that allowed for advancement with conquest. When a monarch dies, the next monarch should inherit most if not all of the land.
This is literally the game we have been looking for, for ages. We love the concept of making choices for a empire and watching it grow. Although the game is in early development, we have a feeling that without a doubt everyone sees a great, and we mean great potential in this game. Also, one question, when is the next update.
The game was fun at first but we soon got very bored because we were doing the same old things. You get the same cards over and over again and the cutscenes are too long and most arent skip able. We hate that the assassin can come at any time and its a literal dice roll if you live or not. Basically its a 50/50 if youll live or not.
We played for a couple of hours and the game is kinda confusing and has a lot flaws, we hate to say this but Id like a refund if possible.
We dont know whats going on with the grammar in this game, and we could let it go normally, but this is a Text Based game for the most part… And its not small grammar mistakes either, its like mind numbing huh? Type of run on and backwards sentences Such as Disaster! Disaster! An earthquake has happened, chaos, mess, death is walking around, the army must enter the city. To which your choices are yes and no The game structure is good, its #6 on ITunes RPG list for some odd reason, it has opportunity, but you REALLY need to get someone to edit your dialogue, it would take a day or two and cost you nothing as a dev, because in a text based game thats super important.
It makes no sense that being over loved can cause you to die what kind of logic is that? Also why cant he inherit the land from the next Monarch, the map is also terrible and is not historical accurate at all, this game is terrible we want our money back.
The game does not allow you to see whats your choices will do.
Once a ruler dies, we think when the new election comes that the new monarch should inherit the lands the previous one conquered rather than reset the whole kingdom/empire to the beginning. Also please improve on the battle choices, it's not really fun at the moment, also could you add a time? There is no time and we can be from anywhere from 1453 to like 2053. Also improve on the affairs system, not much going on with that. Also you guys should add a faction to play as, we know the game is in the early stages so for now there should be 3-4 playable factions, the Byzantine Empire, Mamluk Sultanate, Empire of Trebizond, and the Ottoman Empire being the default empire like in the game already.
We saw this.. And honestly thought it was bootleg reigns, but there is a lot of refreshing aspects of it, still needs some work. Such as grammar issues and Im having trouble understanding the battles. Either way. It is unique.
It deserves its price Ive been playing for hours.
