Reigns: Her Majesty – Adventure Game Review
Reigns: Her Majesty is a Adventure/Card game from Devolver Digital, Inc., first launched in 7th December 2017.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 15,355+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Reigns: Her Majesty Stand Out
Reigns: Her Majesty is the revolutionary follow-up to the smash swipe ‘em up hit Reigns. A cultural renaissance has bestowed the world with a new era of knowledge and enlightenment but greed and jealousy still conspire against the benevolent queen. Outwit and outlast those that would seek to depose you and your husband by swiping left or right, making just (or unjust) decisions on all manner of royal matters. Maintain the balance between the kingdom’s most powerful factions, use mystical items from your inventory, and navigate the increasingly complex politics and personal relationships of your dynasty.
New Kingdom, New Drama: Your royal decrees and unpredictable requests of the people will shape both your time on the throne and the future of your dynasty. Carefully navigate the foolish politics and emotional pleas of the kingdom’s eccentric subjects to find balance between the most powerful factions of the land.
Mystical Inventory: Find and upgrade five special items in a new inventory system. Use your powerful items on character cards and unlock special paths in the ever more complex narrative of your kingdom.
Royal Challenges: Reach specific goals set before each new monarch’s reign to unlock new sets of cards and new directions to take the story of your dynasty.
Nerial and Friends: Reigns: Her Majesty is a collaboration between François Alliot (design/programming), Arnaud de Bock (art), Jim Guthrie (music), and Leigh Alexander (narrative director).

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We are so bad at this but its so much fun.
The game is set up for the players to go on short runs. The end of the run can be a good break point if you need to step away. The game is also surprisingly deep. Its well worth the amount of money that you can find in your couch cushions for hours of fun.
We love the level of difficulty in this game; is not so hard that we cant understand it, its just difficult enough to keep us consistently engaged. So fun.
We had played the original reigns, using the Apple Arcade version. We decided to get this one after completing an ending many, many times. This, so far, pushes all the right buttons. Very different, yet similar. New characters, better romance, interesting plot, and even a few callbacks. The mechanical owl makes us want to give this game six stars.
Always so fun and never disappointed.
After finishing the first reigns, we were sad there wasnt another now there is.
We love reigns! We always have, and we liked to spend time playing on the original, so we were ecstatic when we learned there was a Queen version! Needless to say, this game met expectation. Its pretty accurate when it comes to politics on the side of the queen, having to settle agreements and earn favor instead of bargaining and starting wars, like in the 1st game. As soon as we learned of the all mother, we immediately became obsessed! Great job.
Im not very big on games in general, but the design of this game is so enchanting. Its hard to put it down even after three years.
We've been playing this game for years. It's so fun to figure out and play through until you "beat" it, and keep going to get different outcomes.
A lot of wit and charm for a swipe and tap card game! The lore and strategy to this game are both very accessible and wonderfully deep, while every run builds on the next, punishments are very forgiving, and you have plenty of time to figure out how you'd like to play it. Got a lot of queer subtext, so you're in luck if you're into that :).
We get skeptical when we have to pay for apps, this was definitely money well spent. If you like their other cards games, youll like this one.
The reigns games are amazing and we would definitely recommend giving them a try.
What a wonderful game. Could you by chance name one of the queens Jaclyn.
We love this game right!!! Ok, so when we were playing it we thought there was a scary glitch in it so we deleted it…. And then a hour later we downloaded it again and then when it got to the glitch part we calmed down and then when we almost finished the game, the glitch part wasnt a glitch!!! It was part game! But yea good game though 5 s and also we kinda like that that shows feminine mythology and of course we are a fan of it especially when colored feminine mythology ! But even though we kind of hated one thing is that the cook that was accused of being witch was Dark skinned and we are too so thats one thing we dont really like tho.. But you guys are awesome.
A fun strategy game with an interesting focus on balance of powers. Plus the differences from the previous game make the game even more interesting.
Ok so we just downloaded the game and we went on it and all that came up was credits. So, we tapped on it, we held down, and we waited for at least 2 minutes but still nothing happened. So what should we do? This is what came up: LEIGH ALEXANDER @leighalexander FRANCOIS ALLIOT @nerial ARNAUD DE BOCK @arnaud_debock JIM GUTHRIE @jampants J.J. IPSEN @JJipsen ERIC VAN AMERONGEN @evasoundz.
Okay first off this game is so complicated and once we try and figure it out it sends us to that crazy lady and the we start swiping stuff at her and then it GLIITYCHESS AND THIS CREEPY THING POPS UP TALKING ABOUT THIS APP IS SOME EXPERIMENT UNT UHH PEACE.
Honestly, this is a great game and even tho it frustrates us dearly at times, it still humors us and is a very surprisingly fun way to pass time. 10/10 would recommend and we honest to God Hope the developers drop more games like it soon. If yall come across this make more ASAP please Ill buy it bro Get at us dawg.
Although new parts of the game can be difficult to get to (or we may just be stupid That is also completely possible-) It is overall very fun to play and has a lot of funny moments One of our favorites we dont even think was intentional- the pirate looks exactly like a character from a game called Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney And its funnier because she says in the game that she was raised by lawyers- we still cant tell if this was intentional or if its just a funny coincidence but its really fun to us- Pls lmk.
This game is a lot of fun! We just beat the game so we figured we should leave a review :). It didnt take us very long to beat (a little under a week) but we had it a couple years ago and never beat it. Initially we got bored and deleted it, but Im glad we redownloaded it. Its a lot of fun and a great idle game. Definitely worth it to download.
Its has so much replay value and never gets old.
We consider this to be one of the (if not the) best mobile game out there. It is fun to just balance you kingdom as queen, but realizing that the whole game is a huge puzzle makes this game very fun. FIVE STARS.
This is an amazingly immersive game. We cant find another game like it (besides reigns) we love this game and cant think of anything to add besides that.
Played all the others but this is the best.
The game has a super fun art style with plenty of characters and so much story line that you will have a hard time getting bored of this super entertaining game. So well executed and very fun if you like decision making and good storylines.
At first its hard to understand but after a while you realize that youre supposed to keep everyone in check and happy. Its really addictive and Ill be playing it for a while. Great game overall definitely worth it.
An interesting dynamic for an amazing game! The creativity and effort that went into this game is astounding, and appreciate this games existence.
This game is very addictive! It is worth the money.
This app is revolutionary in design and much fun.
Excellent game. Requires a lot of strategy, but able to keep your interest.
We saw someone play the regular Reigns with being the King but we are a woman and we want to be Queen! This is so fun and there are so many different choices you can do. Even if we die we dont get mad because this game is so much fun. We recommend this.
This game is a great time killer. It is very dynamic too.
Amazing system not much like it especially the other games by this developer get the game if you got the money.
This is by far the dopest trial and error game we have ever played on a phone the theam is funny the decisions are even more hilarious and the plot it thick.
Great replay value, addictive, and even eerie at times. Much more worth than the $3 bucks we spent to buy it.
We love this game. The voices and the ambient sounds are funny, haunting and cool. It is engaging and peaceful(even when Im stressing a choice!) our only gripe is that you cant save your game and come back later. We will be on a 20 year hot streak and then have something to do so we have to put our phone down and then when we go back we lose all our progress. Its frustrating. Is there any way you guys can fix this.
A wonderful, clever, original game just like the original Reigns, albeit a bit more difficult at times.
Literally the best game. In our opinion its better than the king one.
We also have this game on steam and this game is bomb on the phone.
Seriously. We were EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised to find that we could get a cute hippy gf.
We seldom buy games on our phone, just mostly get freebies and save our money for pc games, but luckily we had seen this game on steam and decided it might be fun on mobile (having never played it before). A well-made, polished $3 gem.
Okay this is not what we expected and in a good way! The only bad thing is that it kills your battery like phone battery otherwise its so much fun to play we highly recommend that and the GOT version.
Beyond addictive, worth every penny.
Its a pretty good game we were tempted to buy it and we dont regret buying it its totally worth the money and you should buy it too this game is about like mysteries and its soo good Im hooked with this game anyway thats it for now.
Never have we played a game who killed us for being to reputable.
We love this game, everything is so good! We love the maze and all the puzzles you have to figure out. Great job.
Recently Ive been playing Reigns more than usual and we cant seem to like it. Every time we play the game its so hypocritical. For example, if we are mean to the barbarians the people hate us, but if Im nice to the barbarians the people also hate us! Wonderful game design!!!! We would rate 0 stars but we cant. DONT buy this garbage trash unless you love wasting your time and being angry at this P.O.S.
Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty are unique, funny, and eminently repayable. We couldnt ask for more.
We would give it five stars but it asked us to rate it in game.
Honestly the best medium to play the game. Fun experience that lasts as long or short as you want it to, but still goes deep and intricate. Highly recommend, whether its still on sale or not.
