About the Story

The War of Three Brothers, which took place ten years ago, changed the unknown fate of Rhivenia. The Sword chose Prince Charles to rule; however, his brothers dared to go against its choice. Prince Charles gained victory over his brothers, who were the victims of their greed. Executing all the traitors, he strengthened his reign and became the rightful king of three kingdoms. He's been living a peaceful life with his two wives and four children, until an unexpected enemy shows up.

You play as one of the heirs, who may be chosen by the Sword once King Charles dies. Are you worthy of the throne? Or do your siblings deserve it more than you do? What kind of heir will you be?

The Sword of Rhivenia is a 750,000-word interactive medieval fantasy novel by Ayan Mammadli, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

- Play as prince or princess.
- Customize your appearance and personality.
- Build friendships and make enemies.
- Be chosen by the Sword or stay as prince/princess.
- Betray your kingdom or be loyal.
- Get married and start a family.

Life As a Royal in Rhivenia, October 31, 2022
by reyryan
Related reviews: Hosted Games

A Hosted Games interactive fiction where the main character,the youngest of the four heirs to the Rhivenian throne, lives in an almost dysfunctional royal family.With a distant father who plays favourites with his children+wives and a mother who is loving to her youngest, with siblings and a half-sibling,the heir has the opportunity to forge familial relationships and form friendships with other characters. Later on,based on their conviction and some stats,the main character might be chosen by the Sword as the next Monarch. Either way,the heir or new monarch will have to deal with the new threat looming over Rhivenia along with keeping the population happy.

Only the first Book was published earlier this year with the book 2 demo yet to be publically released. Being a fantasy, medieval-themed "navigating through MC's life" story, it was highly anticipated and I mostly enjoyed the story. The lore is interesting to think about,but you should always keep in mind that there are elements of fantasy to it. The sibling relationships are the scenes I enjoyed the most in this book.

Now let's go to the stats system in the book.There were unnecessary stats in this book where as a player I waste my time on them,but they aren't used at all. The author says that this stats are going to be used on book 2, but either way,it irked a lot of the players. The stats could be put there only if both book 1 and 2 were released in one go. There is also a need to add some more scenes with the romantic options for some of them to feel satisfying.

All things considered,I would recommend other players to give the game a try to form an opinion for it,otherwise they should wait for book 2 to be released and play both the book one after another.
