What's It About?
Royal Envoy HD puts players in the unenviable task of rebuilding island after island, after they were completely decimated by a huge storm. This game isn't just about setting up buildings on every corner of the island. Rather, players need to be judicious with their money and ensure that every structural change they make to the land will not upset the residents. This game is unique in that this isn't about building something from scratch; it's about re-building, so the underlying storylines across the different gameplay missions are each different and interesting. All in all, there are nine different islands to rebuild, with a total of 63 individual levels.
Is It Any Good?
The best part about ROYAL ENVOY HD is that it can appeal to gamers of all strides. This kind of game usually attracts a crowd of more seasoned players and as such can be riddled with complex game mechanics and confusing gameplay controls. This game, however, has an intuitive style, with rich and colorful graphics that allows anyone to enjoy it. However, there are nuances and challenges that will present a worthwhile experience for even the most hardcore players as well. The story also does a great job of drawing players in and giving them a true sense of accomplishment after they complete each task. In short, it is a game that can captivate any type of gamer.
