Royal Envoy

Save the wonderful world of Islandshire, rebuilt it and restore its former beauty after a devastating natural disaster, create and build up in Royal Envoy by Playrix Entertainment. These are the tritest words about this new time management game devoted to building theme. As for the goal and its plot it is quite clear but what about its gameplay. Is it as ordinary as its mechanic? Maybe we are able to see there something ordinal or at least something not so boring.

As with other building game, Royal Envoy focuses mainly on building towns. Do not think that it is a game where you can relax; on the contrary, each level has a quite stiff timer and beating level before the time is up lets you get a helpful trophy. Except timer, this really adds on title’s challenge, the difficulty of tasks increases with each new level. As you progress further into the game, you are to create and take care of different types of buildings.

But Royal Envoy adds a lot of nice twists that make it absolutely outstanding in comparison with other similar games though. For one thing, the presence of such elements as working men and lackeys are rather similar to the famous Warcraft style. The way the plot is narrated is also interesting and pretty. Rather than just reaching the goal of each level, it looks like the story is more important for this title. There a lot of unexpected spins of the story that will distract you from the building activities and take you on thrilling adventures. So, get ready to be attacked by the cruel pirates, for example. There you can observe the portion of well-made cutscenes that have managed to convey the captivating atmosphere of the game and made you feel like a real participant of the events. Moreover, the game is complimented be the good choice of music background and top-notch value production. Let’s build!
