Publisher Devolver Digital is at it again, once again bringing in another indie hit to the Nintendo Switch fold. This time it's the turn of Nerial's Reigns, a strategy game where you must impose your royal will upon a seemingly never-ending stream of requests. From peasants to foreign courtiers, you'll need to swipe right and left to make your decision, shaping the kingdom and thrashing plots to usurp you.
Reigns: Kings & Queens, will combine the original Reigns with sequel Reigns: Her Majesty in the same package for the very first time. It'll also feature local co-op, a feature exclusive to Nintendo Switch. It's due to arrive on the Switch eShop this spring.
Does the seemingly simple (yet devilishly complex) world of Reigns meet your approval? Or is it a case of off with its head? Sound off below, peasants...

This is always what I hear when I read about this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r16NjjDPLlc
@TheOpponent LOL!
Meh. Tinder mechanics?
People always rave about the iOS version. And maaaaybe this is better on phones anyway. Hmmm. I’m definitely getting one of the two versions at some point.
Played this on android. It's fine. Funny and clever at times but much more suited to a phone. Would never play for longer than 5 minutes at a time.
I need a review because I have no idea what I'm looking at lol.
Used to have this on iOS. It's pretty interesting for a while and unless you can pick up on subtle clues, it's pretty hard and frustrating. It's still enjoyable, though! Never actually played the sequel, so I'll get this.
I bought the Steam version of this a while back, at a relatively low price - even when not on sale.
It was pretty addictive, and a lot deeper than it seems on the surface.
If the Switch pricing is low enough, it's pretty good for short bursts of play.
I might pick this up on sale if it reviews well. I might pick it up at full price if it's $5 or less.
Reigns is a wonderful game; funny, unique, wholly engaging and with a clever end goal that most people won't even notice is there on their first playthrough. I got all three endings on iOS, and enjoyed it enormously. Haven't played the sequel, but can only assume it's every bit as good. However, I really don't get why this is coming to Switch. I can't see how it brings anything to the mobile version apart from a heavier tablet and the need to play with both hands.
