Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 30 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (66 of 80 positive).

Players praise the game as a strong entry in the series with a fun sci-fi rock band twist. [1][2][3] Some reviewers find it overly complex compared to earlier Reigns games. [4][5][6] The soundtrack and charm are widely highlighted as standout features. [1][7][8]

  • Too complex and loses original simplicity. [4][5][6]
  • Some quests and achievements are cryptic. [7][16]
  • Bugs and glitches reported. [17][18]
  • Controller recommendation feels unnecessary. [8][19]

    It's not a bad game I guess. It just feels like it's tried to do too much compared to the original two games... and yet not enough. The originals were simple and punchy. Pick choices, try balance the stats and try not to die. This one has that, but it's weird, sometimes one of the categories will break, but you can still rescue the ship and not die. I haven't actually failed yet, I'm guessing you need multiple …

    Genuinely one of the strongest Reigns games in the series. It's a nice spin on the usual mechanics with the guitars and leading an indie rock band into glory! The soundtrack is great, the characters are charming (especially Lord Shark.), and it's a neat detail that different planets like different guitars. Would absolutely recommend to people who enjoy sci-fi comedies. (And who don't mind dying lots. It's a Reigns …

    I beat the game, got all the endings and thoroughly enjoyed my experience with it! Its my first experience with a Reigns game too. Sam Webster's soundtrack for this game really MAKES this game something special, its such a good vibe through and from--I found it hard to put down! I only wish that the game was a touch more explicit at times. Some quest-lines and achievements are cryptic and hard to piece together, a …

    honestly, this may be the best one yet, they really went all out on this game and it's semi easy than all of the reigns games, you can play guitars, amazing soundtrack and more! I highly recommend this! (if you know how to run a ship properly) Reigns Beyond (8/10)

80% of the 30 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Reigns Beyond. The complaint that keeps coming up: too complex and loses original simplicity. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

    even by the standards of someone who played all of the Reigns games, this is TRIPPY! And it ROCKS! Some stuff like items wont make sense at first but you'll find to enjoy this game's whacky ass charm and silly characters. Follows the same principle as the other Reigns games except it uses different tabs and menus to add deeper functions to the game. not a 10/10 tho cuz u cant romance De Souza

    Like some other negative reviews said, it's just too much compared to the other games. It tried to be like a complex RPG with minigames while Reigns is known to be loved by it's simplicity. Personally I think that this game could've been better if they ditch this "3D thinking" it was really frustrating, and hard to navigate, while also being uninteresting. I would only recommend you to play this game if you have played and loved ALL of the Reigns games, and your favourite movie of all time is…

    https://youtu.be/cGcrHjHAGQY Putting more features and modes into a game does not always continue to add value as the core Reigns formula beings to feel lost under all the other elements.

    Reigns: Beyond, developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital, expands on the distinctive swipe-based decision-making gameplay that the Reigns series is known for, transporting players into a fresh and imaginative sci-fi setting. Instead of the traditional medieval kingdom backdrop, this installment places you at the helm of an interstellar indie rock band, navigating a quirky and often chaotic universe filled with bizarre characters, cosmic adventures, and plenty of humor. The game…

    played this first on apple arcade and fell in love with it so hard. if you love the reigns series this is a must need. the atmosphere is so much better on pc now that you can get a better view of the backgrounds and great sound rather then on a phone. Def one of my favorite pick your on adventures with a amazing cast to discover.

    "Grab a controller". We are on a PC. We want to be able to properly use our keyboards and mouse. Besides, not for me.

    Imagine my surprise when I randomly decide to look at the Reigns games on steam and I find two new ones I hadn't heard of at all! I'm honestly in awe, the series has really developed from the first game. I've just started but with such a huge universe to explore and guitar minigames I know I'll be captivated for awhile! Full price is a STEAL.

    We did a lot of Reigns after that, exploring all we could do with that concept with brilliant writers and background. Reigns Her Majesty with Leigh Alexander, Reigns Game of Thrones with HBO, Reigns Beyond with Xalavier, Reigns Three Kingdoms with Yoyu.

    REIGNS games are fun to play. A game of skill and chance with an interactive fantasy narrative. REIGNS Beyond is my favorite because, like the idea of space travel, it establishes a sense of wonder.

    I think King Doge said it best: "The last games were trippy, but this one is mega trippy" note: a controller is absolutely not necessary even though the game heavily recommends one. The game is so much easier if you use a mouse (the guitar mini games especially) I didn't expect much from the PC ports (I bought the original on Android eons ago) but not only is Beyond a well done sequel to the OG games, its minimalist retro art style is beautiful and the soundtrack needs, nay, begs to be…
