Reigns: Game of Thrones Download PC

Reigns: Game of Thrones is a strategy video game developed by Nerial in partnership with HBO and published by Devolver Digital. As the third entry in and a spin-off from the Reigns series, after Reigns (2016) and Reigns: Her Majesty (2017), the game is based on characters from the Game of Thrones franchise. Reigns: Game of Thrones was released in October 2018 for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows. A version for Nintendo Switch was released in April 2019.

Gameplay

Reigns: Game of Thrones plays similarly to its predecessors. Described as a "swipe 'em up", the game allows the player to be one of the principals from the Game of Thrones universe, including Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark. In the game, the player is continually presented with questions regarding the ruling of their kingdom, where each has a binary choice: swipe left to accept or right to decline the proposal in question. Every choice can have an impact on four factors: military strength, religious favour, domestic popularity, and state wealth. Each card indicates which factors would be affected by either decision, but not how strongly or whether the effect would be positive or negative. If either factor rises to its maximum or falls to its minimum, the player's character dies and is succeeded by another character. The player begins the game as Daenerys Targaryen and progressively unlocks other characters throughout the gameplay. With each character, the player encounters different challenges based on that character's story arc. The game also includes minigames, such as jousting and tavern brawling.

Development

Before he created Reigns: Game of Thrones, François Alliot, the founder of London-based video game developer Nerial, had been a fan of Game of Thrones ever since he read the original books by George R. R. Martin, and had also enjoyed the eponymous TV series. When he pitched the original Reigns to publisher Devolver Digital, Alliot described the game as "Tinder meets Game of Thrones"; Devolver Digital later passed this idea on to HBO, the company behind the Game of Thrones TV series, to agree on a licensing deal.
