Our Expert Score

83/100

Fate of the Empress is a visually breathtaking RPG that transports players into a meticulously recreated world of ancient Chinese imperial life. The 3D graphics and animated cutscenes are top-tier for mobile, bringing the palace intrigue and romantic drama to life with incredible elegance. The gameplay is a diverse blend of turn-based combat, social simulation, and deep customization. Building and decorating your own mansion provides a relaxing counterpoint to the high-stakes political maneuvering of the court.

However, it's a game that demands significant investment—both in time and potentially money. The gacha mechanics for recruiting historical heroes are prominent, and staying competitive in the upper ranks often requires a financial commitment. Despite some translation quirks, the story is genuinely engaging, and the 'Royal Heir' system adds a unique layer of legacy-building that isn't common in other mobile RPGs. If you enjoy stylized anime-esque aesthetics and complex social narratives, this imperial journey is well worth the download.

The game graphics are amazing! The game is so much fun but it can be boring and frustrating when you get demoted all the time because other players spend tons of money to get their might up and your actually building up your might on your own. I like the game but for most of the events you need to spend money to participate, this is very frustrating because I don’t want to have to spend money on every single event. The rides are fun but most people are stuck with the regular horse because most of the rides are from events, and again you need to spend money to be able to get them. I think it’s nice that you don’t have to have a lover for an heir but it’s hard finding a lover, and a lot of the outfits are op events. I just think the game could have more options in events then just having to spend money to get stuff. The game is fun but time consuming, there is an auto mode for explore but nothing else. I think it would make the game that much greater if you could leave everything running on auto at night. Ingots are kinda hard to get and most of the outfit materials are ingots, if you could get the items by doing gameplay and tasks it would make it a lot easier for people to create costumes. Sometimes when I’m doing the regular game play it says I have to get to a certain level to continue and that gets frustrating when I have to keep on farming for xp. The game is just like the adds say it is so extra points for that lol.

Fantastic game

Really was not expecting much from this game—I saw it on a FB ad and thought it was just another generic mobile Chinese game. I was looking for something to fill the downtime from playing Genshin Impact. I tried this game and was instantly hooked—graphics are gorgeous, loads of character customization, enjoyable story. and gameplay is definitely more complex/interesting than expected. I am having fun collecting costumes and building up my team. This is very similar to Royal Chaos which I played years ago, but has better graphics and more depth to the gameplay. I find myself playing this even more than Genshin nowadays because there are more events and more social interaction with other players. Only thing I might critique is that the translations, while good, are a little off. As a fluent Chinese speaker, the translations do get the meaning across but they could definitely use some improvement. The English translation is very simplified/shortened compared to the Chinese version and you miss many of the nuances in the story. There are also grammatical errors throughout the game (which I expected) that make the instructions hard to understand sometimes. The game also has many small glitches (e.g. sometimes sound randomly turns off). If they could just improve the translation, polish up their grammar, and fix the glitches/make the game run more smoothly, this game would definitely be solid. Highly recommend!

To Be or Not To Be

When I first saw the add for this, I thought it was going to be one of those stupid games you see. I downloaded to see if I was correct, but no. This is such a fun game to play! The art style is fantastic and I love how you can customize your character! This a game that shows what it’s actually going to be. I’m so glad I even saw the add because I’m hooked! However, every game has its problems. I honestly had a lot of trouble figuring out the tools of the app and especially in the beginning. In the first fight scene I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I awkwardly just sat there clicking buttons. Eventually I figured it out but I wish there was more explanation. The other thing is, I love the cut scenes and it’s really entertaining, however, I wish you could make the monologue go faster. It’s kind of hard to keep up with it and I keep reading the same thing over and over again because I thinks it’s something new. Overall, based on the qualifications of the game, I really like it. I definitely think you should consider downloading it. It has its pros and cons and that’s why I giving it 4 stars for all the qualities I’ve listed above. Take what you can from this and I hope you’ve found this review helpful.

Love hate relationship but mostly hate
Thu Oct 17 2024 Rinakami1

Honestly hate this game so much. I’m only still playing it for the people on there. This is a very greedy company. They have updates at the most inconvenient times. So many bugs. They make so much money from in game purchases and can’t remove all the bugs? The game has been crashing so much lately and it chooses to kick you from the game at big events. The more I play it, the more I hate it. If my peeps quit, I’m quitting as well. It’s not worth it. It’s so obvious they wanna take up as much of your time as possible by spreading out events the way they do. There’s a lot of Chinese players too, and I’m not talking Chinese Americans or Canadians/euro. I feel like they’re actually Chinese people from China. Probably put in every server to moderate us. Like literally every server has a Chinese person who doesn’t talk but is able to participate in every event? I don’t believe they’re really dropping all that money. I think it’s a way to generate competition to make others spend more to beat them. I honestly don’t think they even use their own money. They’re probably friends with the devs or devs themselves. This game is a scam. Every event is like gambling. The graphics are nice and the fits are cute but you gotta spend money to get them. Every server ends up dead because of how many people quit so in some events, you’ll be capped at what you can do depending on how many people are left in your server.

Great but don’t understand something

I’m only going to talk about the not to big of a problem thing but yeah this is an amazing game it has everything. So I was going to Fond Dream to try and beat everyone and I see someone who has lower might than me so I battle her and I was about to beat her I knocked out all of her heroes but then she knocked out my last hero and I lost I thought maybe clicked surrender accidentally so I try again, also why is the surrender button so close to rage that is not very efficient for the player. I try again and same thing happens this time I made sure not to press surrender maybe I did press it but I sure I didn’t. I got rid of all her heroes and she’s still in shouldn’t I be in to? I looked shortly at the guide for the Fond Dream and it said nothing about that happening I didn’t read all maybe I missed stuff but I’m sure it said nothing about that. To be honest don’t really care about this if you want to know about if you should download the app or not it’s a great game and you should totally try it! Now finally I would like you to know not everyone in China so could be more mindful of the time zone people are in? Anyways thanks for making this amazing game!

I like it pretty well so far. I have a few issues with it though.

Nothing that’s not too easily fixed. Mostly that I wish it would start on Manuel progression through the dialogue, and not switch back to auto randomly. Pretty much anything with timed reading is difficult for me with dyslexia. Another thing which is probably because of my modern upbringing.... I can’t get over how the main love interest so far is her cousin, and their chemistry is so good I’m rooting for them, even though it's also setting off alarms in my head. It’s probably pretty normal for the time though.. they are so cute together. Also it’s really fun making your character super pretty in this. Though I accidentally made her look too western for the game aesthetic the first time (looked odd having someone who was pretty much a white girl in ancient Chinese garb) Luckily you get two presets you can switch between whenever, and edit them too. Wish I could choose the hair color instead of relying on wigs though... Didn’t see anything for skin tone if that’s important to you, but it’s suppose to be a native Chinese person. I wonder how the plot changes if your character is male. Might do a play through of that if I’m still into this at the end. Just till I get bored. Couldn’t be identical could it?

I love it! But…

The game is really fun and I love it and it’s just like the add’s say it is so it’s so much better but I don’t really like or love the way the game literally tries to get you to buy something in the game like it’s in your face type of stuff and I don’t really love how you have to level up your character just to go to the next story. I like the idea of leveling up your characters just to defeat your enemies or to do a side quest. Another thing I don’t really like about this game is the fact that you can have a love interest that your literal cousin. I don’t really know if this happens to other people but it happened to me when I started to play the game and I don’t really know if you can change this but either way I don’t really like the idea of a love interest that your cousin, I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a platonic relationship or a romantic relationship and if it’s a romantic relationship with the character cousin I would love for the developers to remove that:) besides that I still think it’s a really good game and it’s got me addicted to it and despite the probably romantic relationship between the characters cousin I still love this game besides that part.

Ok so I want to say that someone broke a promise to me if you want the name there name is: jaylyn esz so it said that she added and removed lots and lots of players but tbh I don’t think that’s what’s going on… because I asked her did you not have enough space for more but I don’t actually think there is a limit lol until one day I woke up I play everyday and then I was in my pjs 🤣🐬🐬🤣🐬 I was major laughing right now so I went to go see if she was online and for some reason I’m always in the same server as her but it said “could not send message because you are not friends” so I was like jaylyn and she was like leave me alone and I was like what is going on so she didn’t reply so I was pretty sure she’s like a mad hacker or scammer because before she removed me I said you will never remove me right? And she was like no I would never so I put :) and she put :) so I’m not sure what happened but we were like only friends for like 2-6 days and if you could do something about it like send her a message on her screen or do anything you can so she can just stop because I’m confused 😕 and I’m also really sad because we had really good friendship
