What is Royal Kingdom?
Royal Kingdom is Dream Games' second match-3 game after Royal Match, with a new kingdom and story.
Gameplay
Levels are short and clear: each one shows a goal and a move limit. Matching four or five pieces creates boosters, and combining boosters is where the game shines. New obstacles keep later levels interesting. Hard levels can take several attempts, which is where extra-move offers appear.
Graphics and performance
Bright, detailed and smooth. The castle-building scenes and characters are well made.
Monetisation
Free to play with lives, boosters and extra moves for sale. Patient players can progress without paying.
What we liked
Royal Kingdom has the polish Dream Games is known for: smooth animations, clear goals and boosters that feel powerful. Combining two boosters is especially satisfying. The story scenes between levels are short and funny, and most levels can be played offline, which makes it a good travel game.
What could be better
Some levels are much harder than the ones around them, and that is where offers for extra moves and boosters appear. Players who do not want to spend may need several attempts on these levels. Joining a team for extra lives helps.
Who is it for?
Fans of Royal Match and anyone who enjoys a polished match-3 game.
Tips if you start playing
- Look for matches at the bottom of the board; they cause more cascades
- Combine two boosters for a much bigger effect
- Focus on the level goal, not on making as many matches as possible
Verdict
Royal Kingdom is Royal Match's polish with a darker, more playful story. Our score: 8.3/10.
