Our Expert Score

79/100

Monarchia is a deep, historically-flavored 4X strategy game that manages to cram a surprising amount of depth into a mobile interface. It focuses heavily on the 'Civilization' style of progression, starting from a small settlement and researching your way into a global empire. The tech tree is the star of the show here, offering genuine choices that affect your empire's identity.

While the graphics are a bit more functional than flashy, the strategic depth is undeniable. Managing diplomacy with neighboring AI while balancing your internal economy is a constant, engaging puzzle. It’s a slower-paced game that rewards long-term planning rather than quick reflexes, making it perfect for strategy purists who want a 'proper' grand strategy experience on their phone.
