Our Expert Score

90/100

Choice of Life: Middle Ages is a dark, funny, and brilliantly minimalist card-based RPG. If you enjoyed games like 'Reigns', this is an absolute must-play. You navigate your life from a peasant to (potentially) a king by swiping cards left or right to make choices. The consequences are often absurd and frequently lethal, which is part of the game's undeniable charm.

The writing is the real star here. It manages to balance historical grimness with a modern sense of irony. Every choice feels like a gamble—will eating this mysterious mushroom lead to a vision or just an early grave? The hand-drawn art style is expressive and perfectly complements the quirky tone. It’s a short but highly replayable experience that rewards experimentation and a good sense of humor.
