Reigns: Three Kingdoms is the fifth entry in Nerial & Devolver's Tinder-inspired royalty management games – and it's one of three Devolver games coming free for Netflix subscribers.
Announced during Netflix Geeked Week, Reigns: Three Kingdoms will bring the card-based binary choices of the series into a medieval Chinese setting, setting its latest adventures in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms period (familiar to Dynasty Warriors players, among many other games).
"Reigns: Three Kingdoms thrusts players into the turbulent final years of the Han dynasty," reads a press release. "There, they will encounter the many factions, wars, and heroes of the saga as they swipe their way through negotiations, marry to strengthen alliances, and convert to gain more power. Discover new ways to enjoy Reigns’ unique swiping mechanic as you uncover the many secrets of a vast storyline and a host of unexpected mini-games."
Devolver also announced that it will bring climate-crisis strategy game Terra Nil, and Poinpy – a new game from Downwell creator Moppin – to Netflix as well. Where Downwell had you guiding a pixel-art hero down dangerous vertical levels, Poinpy takes an oppposite (and much cuter) approach – you guide the bird-like Poinpy up levels, collecting food for a giant blue monster chasing you. Poinpy is out now for subscribers.
Partnering with Devolver is another big step for Netflix as a gaming service, offering games from the beloved publisher for no extra charge in your subscription. It follows the company buying Oxenfree developer Night School as it aims to build "the absolute best" gaming service in the industry.
