”The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War
When you’ve only just downloaded this game, you start out with raiding castles to learn the basics of the combat system. You are thrust into the shoes of a king, leading your forces in a spearheaded attack against the walls of an enemy fortress. Your character has 3 main actions at his disposal: movement, the basic Stormhammer ability, and the power to call forth knights at will (provided you have enough “energy” in the bottom indicator on your screen). When you aren’t using one of your abilities, the default action of your king is to attack whatever is closest to you at the time; your basic melee attack is very weak as a standalone attack, so it is crucial to capitalize on your other abilities to the fullest extent. Here are some quick pointers to make it past your first few minutes into the game:
Make sure to continually summon knights whenever the energy is available; you don’t win battles by saving resources, but rather by using them to crush your opponents.
Use Stormhammer to vanquish larger groups of enemies or to topple strong defenses, rather than using it to defeat a single enemy in the field. There is a long recharge time on your abilities, so you may as well use them at optimal times.
Make sure to utilize your “Heal” spell, but keep in mind that the healing buff stays in the place you’ve summoned it, and doesn’t follow your character!
When facing a defensive tower and an obstacle of some sort that are close together, try to take out the tower first to reduce the total damage taken by your knights.
Once you manage to complete the tutorial mission, you gain access to the most important part of the game: the town within the walls of your castle. It’s OK to ignore the town and simply go on raids all the time, but only if you’re content with being an average player at best. That being said, the biggest secret to your future success in Royal Revolt 2 will be your knowledge of the layout of your town, and the efficiency at which it is thriving. Here are some strategic secrets for optimizing your town efficiency:
Memorize the physical locations of separate buildings in your town (taverns, farms, workshops, etc). If you know exactly where every building is, you will be able to utilize your builders more efficiently, upgrade units and defensive structures faster, and spend less time in town that could be spent in battle!
Taverns earn gold for you while you’re idle or away on a mission; make sure to build them all, and upgrade them as much as you can. You have to spend money to make money, so starting sooner rather than later will earn you some massive payouts in the long term.
Make sure to look out for tasks that earn you rewards upon completion. Gems earned from these tasks are very valuable if you don’t want to spend money, so keep an eye on the rewards icon.
The best place to build defensive towers would be both behind and just in front of barriers, and on either side of your castle gates. With this placement, enemy knights will become distracted, lose time, and also take damage.
While building defensive structures outside of your castle, you can always test your setup by scrolling to the tent at the bottom of the path to your castle; there is an option to play through your path of defensive structures to personally test the integrity of your defenses.
Once again, I would like to emphasize that you will lose battles before you even begin them if you don’t have an efficient town. Another downside to neglecting your town would be a lack of “food” which is necessary to go on raids in the first place.
Royal Revolt 2 is a fun little game that is perfect for whenever you have time to kill, but it’s an online game, so turn on that 3G if you plan on playing in the dentist’s waiting room, for example. At first, this game seemed slightly confusing and kind of “over the top” as far as the extra little animations go, but now, I’ve become a fiend for the game, looking to earn every extra gem, and smack down every castle gate, all for the glint of gold.
The individual buttons on the GUI were hard to press at times (larger device owners may have an easier time with this), but this wasn’t problematic enough to turn me off from the game. I enjoy the fact that I can upgrade my units or spells, and I think the concept of a quick, one-minute raid is a quite refreshing idea, and definitely new to my experience in mobile gaming. Because of this interesting take on combat mechanics, users now have the option to pick up and play this game any time, and will be able to ‘leave it for later” at any time, all without worrying about leaving the game at a crucial time without saving. As far as I’ve seen, this game is ad-free, but it does have IAP (in-app purchases) for extra gems, which gives speed to construction and purchases gold.
Artwork- The artwork has obviously been perfected and polished until it looked exactly how the developers wanted it to look, but a little more definition would be nice. I would rate the artwork as a 8/10.
Music/SFX- While the soundtrack is somewhat enjoyable and the SFX aren’t overly annoying, the auditory experience from this game is lackluster. There’s nothing to set apart this game’s sound effects and soundtrack from other games, so I will give it a 5/10.
Story/Originality– There is not much story involved in the backstory to this game, which I think is a shame; I think there was plenty of opportunity to make a storyline that would fit with this game. I do like the idea of quick, one minute castle raids as I mentioned earlier, and this idea is very novel to me. While this game lacks a story, I think it deserves a 7/10 for originality.
General Game-play– While this game is fairly enjoyable, it tends to get slightly boring after playing it for hours on end (Royal Revolt 2 is best enjoyed for an hour or so every day). Apart from that minor complaint, the game is a good time-waster, and it runs as smooth as butter. The combat system is exciting, and earning gold is always rewarding. I will rate the general game-play as a 7.5/10.
Addictiveness- While this game was challenging to pick up and master, I’m completely hooked on Royal Revolt 2. The glint of gold is all that drives me, and the insatiable drive to keep grinding and raiding those castles. In summary, it’s addictive as heck: 9/10.
Royal Revolt 2 has been a pretty fun experience so far; it’s by no means a long game, but it’s perfect for those times when you have ten minutes or so to fill. Upgrading my buildings and earning gems feels like itching a scratch, and it’s fun to see myself conquer stronger and stronger enemies as time goes on. I dislike the fact that it’s solely an online game, but I think it’s worth it to experience the sequel to this awesome series.
Overall, I will give this app an 7.5/10, and I will definitely recommend this app to my family and friends. If you haven’t picked this game up already, what are you waiting for? It’s available on Android, Apple, and the Windows Phone store, so whatever device you have, you’re covered.
