Kievan Rus is a strategy based game that invites you to delve deep into your everyday life inside your kingdom during the Middle Ages. The decisions you make will shape your kingdom's destiny. You can either expand all over the continent or fail miserably.
The gameplay in Kievan Rus is similar to other videogames such as Crusader Kings, although the details aren't as exaggerated. Nevertheless, it's not common to see a videogame with these characteristics that's especially geared for smartphones. You can actually develop a bunch of different phases for your government, army, trading market, resource production, laws, religion, external and internal policies, and a long etc.
Unlike other strategy-based videogames, you have to be very careful and plan ahead: every aspect of your kingdom has to be addressed thoughtfully since war is not the only way to prosper. Diplomacy is fundamental to succeed since trading is one of the most important sources of income to have a successful round.
Kievan Rus is a strategy-based game that's packed full of details that's closer to PC games such as Civilization. This game doesn't really stand out because of its visuals but keep in mind that your land's statistics are more important than ever.
