Such a wonderful story

I have played/read it by now several times and have enjoyed every version and decision. I have a faint hope that maybe, one day, the story of the twin sons of the 5th will be told as well.

The best text based game!

Very good

Lots of typos

A bit boring concentrating on clothes/interior/traditions more than on the personal affairs of the character. +a bad difference from all other games of choice I played are lots of typos

One of the Best

I have played almost the entire hosted games catalogue as well as many of their parent/partner publisher choice of games and I can honestly say this game was brilliant. I love it and still replay it just for the story. I always feel bitter sweet regret at every ending knowing a sequel isnt out. For comparison, Id compare this game to the simply brilliant Sabres of Infinity, the marvelous Choice of Broadsides, and the stunning Choice of Romance. Truly a superior piece of art. In fact I think I will run through it again right now.

B+

It is a little slow, but later the story gets very game of thrones.

Jolly good

Not the next "Once and Future King" but still enjoyable from start to finish.

One of the best games released honestly I was fantastic I noticed some very minor grammar and spelling errors but it was a problem this game is a must play for anyone interested in chose you own adventures

Nice historical flavor, but proofreading problems & lack of interactivity

This was clearly deeply researched and thoughtfully made, with a detailed, immersive historical flavor, but there were near-constant random tense changes, from past to present to past to present, often within the same paragraph. It was distracting. Tense would often change six or seven times within the same scene--and I mean actions that were happening in the "present" of the story sometimes got present tense and sometimes past tense, at random. The other issue was that there was very little interactivity for long stretches of the story. Id frequently have to flip through 10 or more pages of story before getting any kind of involvement in making a choice, even a minor one. This is a creative decision, I guess, but it makes the story very dry and isnt what I expect from a choice game. But please fix at least one of these two problems (I guess the tense might be easier)! I enjoyed the story otherwise. If it were more of a choice-driven game, the tense issue would be forgivable because Id be more involved in the narrative, and if the tenses were fixed, the lack of choice would be more forgivable, but these two major problems in combination meant that I was forced to sit and read long tracts of a novel that hadnt been carefully proofread, which... isnt that fun.

Great Game

This game is definitely worth the money, and it kinda reminds me of A Game Of Thrones! The characters were a bit flat and under devolved, and there wasnt any real romance as far as I can tell, but I suppose that fits the theme.

Great game

I dont often do reviews, but when I do, its because the game deserves it. This game is one such example. There were instances that I think could have been better, however the length and story made up for it in my opinion.

Good but with room for improvement

I found this game to be very entertaining. The setting was good, the story was engaging and there is a fair amount of replay, enough for at least 2-3 play throughout in one sitting. My only complaints are that for such a long story there is relatively little interaction on the readers part and I think the author would have greatly benefited from a proof reader as there is a fair amount of spelling and grammatical errors. Overall though I would recommend this game.

Amazing

This is my first review so sorry if its sloppy My only con about this game is that it can take a couple of pages to make a decision but other than that this is by far one of the greatest RPG/simulation games Ive ever played on the AppStore As soon as you open up the app and see some of the options such as being able to see what countrys there are and there geography and being able to find out more of the concepts of the game and can clearly see theyve done there research but the best part is as soon as you start the game you feel so immersed in the world and every division you make matter. It has multiple options and different outcomes for everything which is why this game is one of my favorites and this game is long so but extremely fleshed out and they really did an amazing job so one again an amazing game. 10/10 One of the best

Good, but needs proof-reading

The game has good historical flavor and sense of agency when playing the protagonist. However, it needs some proof-reading and, what was more frustrating for me, had a few instances of looped gameplay. For example, when I am choosing my constable in Chapter IV, the game describes for me a great veteran option to choose. When I try to choose the option, however, I loop back to the prior scene. Very frustrating.

Boring

First and foremost, I will give credit to the author for the detail of the research invested into this story. However, that is where my praise ends. Overall it lacked intensity, fervor; it felt like a complacent story of a knight lacking any combat. I have invested approximately 3 hours into the game this far and find it taxing to continue. The story has only a focus on the politics and I feel there is some ambiguity as to what this game actually is on first glance, so allow me to enlighten: It is droll work of a Knights story lacking any combat scenes what-so-ever. The only good thing about it is the amount of research wasted on such a futile endeavor.

Immersive, but somewhat tedious

As a devoted customer of text-based game studios (especially Hosted and Choice of), this new offering by Hosted was by far the most descriptive piece of work Ive ever played. Although vivid imagery is all well and good, there is a line where it interferes with the pace of the story. Honestly, I was a little disappointed in the weakness of interaction as compared to that of the Tin Star per se. Overall, still a nice effort.

Good but linear

Overall I enjoyed the story and writing style, however it gets repetitive after three or four Playthroughs. I would still recommend this game to anyone because of the lengthy story. However do not expect much in terms of replay value

Woah

Ok this is by far the longest textpost game I have ever played. I really liked the story and what you could do it but the interaction felt a little weak. Story You start out as a squire to sir Roderick you then get options to chose your skills and become a knight. After becoming a knight it is quite linear. I wish you couldve became a hedge knight or killed the king secretly or something but nope. This is definitely one of my favorite textpost games Ever. If you are a fan of textpost you would throughly enjoy this!

One of the better text games

Lengthy game. Not as many decisions to be made but I felt like they were more important. One of my favorites.

So much POTENTIAL!

I love this game, ive played it over probably more then ten times because I am just crazy like that. The detail, the politics, the ability to (SPOILER) choose your own banner? Awesome! It shows so much promise and potential. And though I mean promise in the most positive of lights, potential means in this context it is not as correct or upstanding as it definitely could be. I am part of a Future Soldier Club and what our captain always says is that [we] have to aim to have no potential meaning we have to be perfect every time, without fail. So if you could update this- and SCREW the potential... And make it so there was more impact to your choices, this Game would be the most intricate work of art you could imagine to create with words

Great game!

Love the long descriptive paragraphs; they really add to the style and value of the game! Even though the choices dont really affect the story, I still enjoyed playing it. I could see why you didnt put in both genders and I was a little disappointed about it. Though in the time that the game is set in, being a boy gives opportunities than being a girl. Thanks for creating such an amazing game!
