Not For Me
Too much pressure. The info box for Tutorial and Objectives takes up too much room, distracting you from the actual gameplay. The time limit for receiving trophies is too short in the early "learning" levels, and you have to choose which resources are needed to accomplish the objective. The Tutorial does not give enough advice on how to do this, but I couldn't see a way to turn it off either. The only option is to replay each level several times to learn how to win a trophy. I found it very stressful.

Challenging but fun :)
If you are a fan of previous Be a King games you will like this one very much. The game is a bit of a challenge, but that is what we like about them :) There is a "casual" mode added to this one that was not included in the previous games in the series. I enjoyed this, but I was familiar with the game.
Give it a try, you might also enjoy it.

Be a Peasant?
The game goals seem scattered and don't make much sense.
The "days" timer runs very quickly. You can easily waste a day just taking the time to read what your advisor has to say.
The tutorial doesn't explain to you how to buy construction materials.
Lots of fast clicking, not a lot of fun.

wouldn't bother!
I've played the other versions of this game, and have really enjoyed them, this game however, is really awful, due to the game cursor. You have very little control over it, espescially when needed, its slow/jerky/useless and ruins a good game. You don't even have the option to turn it off, as this option usually helps, but alas!! no good here. If the option was given, then this could be a decent game.

Excellent strategy sequel
Great game that requires lots of planning and attention to detail to defeat the raiders and meet the objectives. If you liked the originals, you'll love this one.

Cursor a real 'drag'
There was no option to change the cursor to 'system' cursor. The game cursor dragged all over the screen, slowing the game down.

Tower Defense Game
Disappointed. There is no challenge to this game, although I played in "normal" gameplay. It didn't matter whether my buildings were attacked, they still could be advanced to a higher level and once you figure out how to accumulate money, the game is really easy. I love tower defense games but this game was a piece of cake.

Too quick
I finished the entire game in a few short hours, that was really disappointing. The tutorial was a joke and you had no option to skip it. The day timer ran way too fast, and once you had the system figured out you can easily finish levels without feeling like you actually did anything. I love tower defense games and have played the previous ones from this series, but this one was midling.

No buy for me
I liked the first game but this one is a no go for me. The time limit for getting gold is too short, being able to distinguish between building types is difficult, in one level I had to upgrade a building to finish the level but it wasn't available even though I had all the resources to do so. I don't need this kind of frustration.

Not Up to Snuff
I purchased both Be A King and Be A King 2 so I was greatly looking forward to playing this latest one. It was disappointing.
First, at 31 levels it is far too short.
Second, it supposedly offers three modes of play but I tried playing the game on all three modes and saw very little difference.
Third, adds nothing new to the series.
Still it is fun and so I will recommend it but do not expect to be wowed.
