Royal Idle: Medieval Quest

I like how the rate of progress doesn’t dramatically slow down after a while like a lot of games. I enjoy the art style and diverse selection of character cards. I enjoy how what type of building u get for that town changes every level. I’m still confused on how some of the events work and how I a brain stars. Something I would love to see it that as you upgrade the building it visually upgrades it too. I love it when games do that. But over all my favorite game by kongregate.

The main game is a true idle game. Just like you’d expect, with great graphics and a good loop. 5 stars if that was all this game was. I was really enjoying it until the events started showing up. The events are not idle in any way shape or form unless you’re ready to spend cash. In order for your village to run while you’re offline, you need to collect cards to unlock villagers to manage the buildings. In the main game you get plenty of those and it’s never an issue, but In the event, the cards are few and far between, and the 3 main villagers you need (to collect, ship, and create event currency) are extremely rare in my experience from two events. So to participate in the event, you need to be active and clicking the whole time since you don’t have the managers, or spend a bunch of money on chests and hope you get the main 3 villagers (but that’s kind of a waste since those cards all disappear at the end of the event a few days later). I personally don’t play idle games so I can keep the game open all day and click, and I won’t pay for cards that lasts me 2 to 4 days. One thing to be careful about - a lesson I learned the hard way. If you spend money on the main game to unlock chests, be aware that as you get further in the game, those expensive villagers you unlock end up not being used on most of the later cities. Each new city, one type of building goes away and a new one takes its place. I bought one expensive chest early on and got the legendary farmer, but then 3 maps later I couldn’t use it anymore. A waste. 😕

I do enjoy the main gameplay but, the events leave something to be desired. I have to wait for the characters that are going to be used for the events to appear as level one characters before I can actually automate them. All characters should already be at level one so I can automate them immediately. Then, I have to wait every four hours to get a free chest. For events, it should only be every two hours before getting a free chest. Also, during the event, when I finish the first level and move on to the second most characters have to be level four or five before they can be automated again. It would be much easier if the characters had to be at least a level two or three to instead. Finally, more cards should be given for characters. Ex. I'm given only one card for a character that needs to be at a certain level but, itvwould simplify things if at least four or five cards were always dealt instead to make leveling up easier. In fact, the first time I did an event, it actually took me the entire four days just to finally automate all of the characters for the event.
