this game is fun, and i’m enjoying it, but the english translation is so poor that i can’t recommend it in its current state, especially not for the price it’s at.
i could forgive the frequent misspellings and grammatical errors, but what’s harder to look past is some of the sentences being so lost in translation that you can’t even figure out what is trying to be said. there are parts of the game i simply do not understand because the explanations make no sense in english. the translations are incredibly literal and read like they were done by google translate.
again, it’s a fun game, but until a human is hired to do the translations it’s not worth the price it’s at. if translation errors don’t bother you then consider getting it when it’s on sale
¡¡¡RUN AWAY!!!
***That this is a Chinese version of SWEET BABY ruining a good game. And the extreme pro-h0mo community and childless cat ladies will attack anyone who has even the slightest opinion about it***
Original reviews:
Forced gay storyline and NTR storyline, your best friend in the game will try to fxk you and your wife.
And the disgusting community and dev team make it even worse.
Great game 10/10. The game review is mixed because it’s been bombarded by homophobic Chinese reviewers. Apparently you can romance Faris in the game but the Chinese gamers don’t like that. Avoid the Chinese community and just enjoy the game.
No female protagonist :( All these narrative possibilities, but none of them contain protagonist to be a woman.
A male-centric game that mandates player identification with a male protagonist, enforcing the trope of women as inferior and hypersexualized.
The game starts with a short, easy to understand tutorial, then opens up into the real game, which shares none of the mechanics and has no instructions.
The gameplay goes as follows:
You're given a number of character and item pieces that fit into slots in the games board, the number of slots is very limited so you just do what you can with what you have. A turn passes and the game spits some Engrish flavor text at you. Your turn ends and either you die or more slots open. Repeat.
My first game I drew a conquest card and the game kept urging me to use it immediately or I would die. The only place I could slot the card was the Sultan's chamber, which causes you to die.
My second game I drew Extravgance, and I had 7 turns to use it. I couldn't find any slot to use it, so on the final day I asked the game's "help advisor" and it for some reason opened up a place for me to slot the card, but it would cost me 20 gold, which I did not have so I died.
So over all, ¯\(ツ)/¯
If this game makes sense to you, cool.
你现在要做的删除炼铜和虐童行为，没人在乎你喜欢干男人还是干女人，但是你不能夹带私货，我demo玩了30多小时，也算是全结局通关过。但是你正式版加了一些虐童炼铜事件，我不知道是私货还是什么个人兴趣，有的底线你能碰吗？这不是你自称混沌邪恶这种遮羞布能挡的。
2编：官方说会加敏感内容提示器, 更新完我再看看。另外我说的恋童和虐童是指与法哲德（那个监狱里的贪官）女儿有关的一段剧情，并不是你们想的的对爱读书的少女用纵欲卡之类的事件。玩过那段剧情的自然懂我为什么觉得碰底线了。
If you don't want to see any bad reviews, the only possibility is not to open the comments section. Most games can't hurt the child NPCs in them, what do you think? Creators should avoid sensitive content, it's their obligation. When they make a mistake, I give a bad review
Don't believe the review percentage, there's an ongoing review-bombing campaign by some Chinese guys. This game deserves 90% positive if not more.
The art is great, the cycle of tension as you draw a challenge and try to solve it in 7 days makes for a good gameplay loop. The writing is not exceptional but solid, with bonus points for it being a translation from Chinese. The music is nice.
The primary gameplay is a turn-based time/resource management. I saw it being compared to Cultist Simulator, but Citizen Sleeper might be closer for those familiar - the game bears resemblance to both. Every day you have some problems and opportunities popping up, and you need to solve them before they expire, potentially bringing adverse consequences. With the main one - the Sultan Card, demanding you Kill, Fuck, Conquer or Waste Riches On someone or something matching the required rank of difficulty and importance. You have 7 days to do that, or it's Game Over.
The game plays as a meta-progression rogue-like, where you're almost guaranteed to lose sooner or even sooner, with special currency used to buy upgrades like higher starting stats, more followers, some quality-of-life improvements, etc.
Overall, I'm still only starting with it, 5 hours barely scratches the story lines you can follow, not even talking about winning the game.
It's very pretty, and which makes it a pity that they forgot to include a game. In short, it's more visual storytelling and not enough puzzle and challenge for me. But you may feel differently - try it. It's cheap and you can refund it if you hate it.
I love the game's art style, and clearly someone spent some time on creating a unified artistic vision, which is something I appreciate in any game. The art is also undeniably sexy without tipping into the prurient. There are art pieces in this game that would go well on a wall for someone with that sort of taste.
But the gameplay is more of a storytelling prosthesis than any sort of typical challenge. While I don't think a game has to be a standard fare of objective, puzzle/problem, and reward, games that don't have any challenge in them are very difficult for me to enjoy.
I’ve been looking forward to this game ever since the demo I spent over 20 hours playing – so I was surprised about the amount of negative reviews. Turns out it's review-bombing by a group of homophobic Chinese gamers who are raging about an optional(!) same-sex relationship. Which is frankly absurd – not only because the story branch is completely avoidable and very minor, but because this game is full of dark themes and making morally complex/grey choices, including but not limited to murder (even family members), slavery, general cruelty, exploitation and so on. So a minor same-sex relationship shouldn't be the reason to get on a moral high horse.
The game itself is 10/10 and I don't say that often. It improved massively since the demo and is well worth the price. The devs have added new mechanics, improved the UI (the cards are still a bit chotic tho) and the English translation is much smoother. Do mind the description, the game is dark and blood-minded and probably not for everyone but for those of us who enjoy these themes, it's extremely gripping and really makes you ask the question how far you are willing to go.
The gameplay of Sultan's Game is unique - the only game it reminds me of is Cultist Simulator but both of these games have different strengths - Cultist Simulator has amazing prose but Sultan's Game has a deeper narrative where all your decisions have consequences and you can shape who your protagonist is. The loop is genuinely addictive and the random generation as well as the scale of the game (1.000.000 words) provides a massive amount of replayablity.
PS: Props to the devs for following their creative vision and wording their decision so respectfully!
The English in this game makes the game unplayable. Sometimes you're referred to as the Sultan. Sometimes the Sultan is a 3rd party. Sometimes there are multiple Sultan's. From one sentence to the other, you're trying to juggle who is who and what the the heck it's trying to tell you.
I tried turning my brain off and just progressing through the game, but it's too annoying, because this game is 99% about reading a block of text and making a decision of how to progress. So you can just die in a few turns because the game will literally tell you -"Hey you have to do this thing" and then you assign your cards to do that thing and instantly die. And you wonder if you maybe you read that weird text wrong. Even the text when you die will sometimes say something like "This is not a bad choice" lol ... What? I just walked into the snow and died. You're asking if I want to quit the the main menu. How is that not bad?
Also, idk because I am putting this game down, but the theme was way more gross than I expected. You kill people for fun in this game. Your force people to have s3x for fun in this game. You perform sacrifices. Everyone in the game seems to be a sick psychopath who only cares about blood, sex, or gold- no reason why. When you progress, you see a bloody screen and hear depressing music. Youll find yourself asking "Should I sacrifice this slave or have him/her r#p3d?" I like dark games, but this just gave me a bad vibe. Demonic kinda energy coming from this game that I don't like .... lol. Maybe if the text was written better I could understand why Im playing as such a sick F'er,
I spent like 3 days playing this game, and I'm just now getting winning runs. I'm recommending this purely so more English players can play this game and upload guides. I'm not figuring this out on my own.
Strangely addictive if you can't tell.
I courted my political opponent then killed him and then proceeded to buy a sick ass crocodile pond and then stare into the abyss sprinkled by stars which lead to my cult of darkness engulfing the world.
