Reigns is a videogame marked by its accessibility to all audiences, inviting the player to occupy the throne of a medieval monarch in his transition to the Modern Age, making relevant decisions about certain events that take place in his territory. Through a simple but innovative mechanic, decisions are resolved by sliding left or right according to whether the player seeks to accept the game’s proposal, or whether they want to opt for a more personal way of imposing authority in the kingdom.
The system is based on continuous requests from advisors, villagers and even enemies, which must be answered in order to keep the family dynasty in control of the throne for several generations. The most relevant events present in the game are based on historical and social contexts that occurred in real life, and you can continue the story as we know it, or try to progress through time with more personal and far-fetched choices. The solutions to these unforeseen events can either improve the quality of life of the society or lead to a popular revolt if they do not agree, as it is ultimately the subjects who are in control.
