Yes, Your Grace

Reading the reviews for this game is bizarre. The only logical explanation is that when you buy it, there’s a 50/50 chance of getting one of two completely different games. Either you get the one all the “Recommended” folks are raving about, or you get the one all the “Not Recommended” folks are stuck with. And boy, I definitely didn’t get the “choice-driven gameplay with rich medieval storytelling, a brilliant experience where the weight of ruling Davern is palpable and every decision carries real significance.” I got the “linear story that isn’t all that great” version.

Very frustrating. I would like to do other things than the options allow. I should have expected this from this game. However, i only got it for 2.99. I would like to sell fine items for more money and fight people personally. Sword of the Samurai did it better, because there were some skill based aspects to it. If you lost the war that was on you. If you failed to take out all of the bandits because you didn't kill everyone... that was on you. If you lost a sword fight that was also on you. In other words: There are no skill based games that allow for decisions to be good or bad. It is already decided and you have 0 agency.

At first, the game seems charming and interesting, leading you to believe that your “decisions” actually influence the course of the game. However, once you look behind the facade, it quickly becomes clear that the game has a preset story that you cannot escape and must follow. The only real difference you can make in the story is whether or not you have an heir at the end. The story is interesting the first time you play through it, but if you want to complete all the achievements, you have to complete at least two full playthroughs. That doesn't seem so bad at first, but it quickly becomes boring because the story/game is not influenced by you and you cannot skip certain events [spoiler] (e.g., the wars, you are forced to do everything and cannot just skip to the end result) [/spoiler] to speed up the game. At this pace, it takes at least two to three hours to complete a playthrough. Overall, it's a cute game, but it's definitely not what it's described as, and it has no repla...

A really fun narrative game, I felt very invested in the story and characters (especially my daughters!!). My biggest complaint is that the battle scenes feel extremely drawn out and boring on replays considering the choices/outcome. Otherwise, great game especially the first play.

As usual, people are way too harsh on the developer for not making a game as good as it could have been. Choices matter? Oh lets get super mad about that shall we? No. I get that you might think it should mean many different outcomes to all your decisions, but overall it mainly means you get to decide things and that changes certain elements of your gameplay. Overall the story runs through as a story does, but you DO influence things as they happen and its darn good fun to do! I went into this game after reading reviews that told me it didn't matter what you chose to do, and I still had a great time playing it. It is a fun little game and for gods sake this appears to be the first game this developer has made, the critical nature of people within the gaming industry is over the top. If a game is fun, thats all that matters to me, and if you agree, give this one a shot, cause it do be of the fun nature. I appreciate the little sounds that all the characters be de bobbity at me as I l...

its a good game, sadly i cant have lorsulia back :'(

This is a visual novel, not an actual RPG where your choices matter. You are railroaded the entire time.

Spoilers. I was somewhat enjoying the game, though the inability to trade supplies for gold and vice versa was pretty annoying, the railroading of poor choices, and the inability to back out of any decision to go talk to someone else ('you don't have a witch available' SHE'S RIGHT THERE) And then the cat was killed, skinned, and sown into a scarf for me to present to the youngest daughter. That's completely gone and ruined any last bit of enjoyment in the game for me. The constant minor pet deaths like snail and rooster were bad enough - a rooster I bought as a lie detector and got to use once by the way, IDK why it couldn't live in the throne room and the daughter play with it there. I went and looked up a lets-play of the bad king getting beheaded and I'm uninstalling the game. Overall a frustrating lack of logical choices throughout the whole game. (why wouldn't the king assume the scarf from his mortal enemy was poisoned or something?)

The main plot is pretty stupid, any good king would know that he would have to honor his promise and give his daughter the Barbarian as was agreed.

Loved the story. My only wish is that they would hire voice actors for games like these. I know it would it more expensive to develop, but I'd pay extra to have it. Great game overall.
