TV commercials for Royal Kingdom proudly advertise that the game is completely free to play and does not require a WiFi connection. While it is true that no WiFi is needed to enjoy the game, the assertion that it is free to play is misleading. After spending a significant amount of time on a particular board, players often encounter obstacles that prevent them from advancing. This can lead to frustration and anxiety as you brace the desire to progress to the next level.Eventually, the game creates a sense of urgency that compels players to spend their own money on package deals just to move forward in the game. Many players, myself included, find it hard to resist purchasing these deals after investing so much time and effort, fearing that all that dedication would go to waste if they don't advance. This pattern of spending inevitably leads to a cycle of addiction, where players feel pressured to keep purchasing in order to see their progress continue.I am personally disheartened by this experience, especially considering that I have enjoyed many other games over the years without feeling compelled to buy expensive packages. As someone living on a fixed income, I find the tactics used in Royal Kingdom particularly disappointing. The game’s design and marketing seem intentionally misleading, creating barriers for players who simply want to enjoy the game without the pressure of constant monetary investment.
