I Love This Game (Updated Review)

I absolutely love this game, I couldn’t put it down. I finished my story in less than two days! It was so much fun to play, I wish I was able to continue the story of my character in her married life. Updated Review: I absolutely love this game! I feel like I am a character in Jane Austen’s world, and it’s like I’m in a regency movie. The nicknames don’t work, but I had an idea about the player’s character features. You know how you can choose the first name and last name before you start the story, maybe the player could also choose their character’s hair color and eye color as well. It could give the player’s character more of a description. I really hope that there’s more updates for the game in the near future, it’s too much of a good interactive app to give up on. There’s no other game like it! Especially one that is set in the Regency era. I mean look at all the fantastic reviews this app has! I must have played it over a hundred times with each suitor. As much as I love it, it’s beginning to get too repetitive. We should also have Lord Sutton as a potential suitor option as well, and perhaps other new characters. What about the main character’s estranged brother, and her aunt that lives in London? Everybody that I know who played this game have been patiently (starting to get frustrated) waiting for YEARS for new updates. Please do it for the fans, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

My Most Played Game

A ton of fun!!!! A fabulous setting with interesting era trivia. My first goal was to get the happiest ending with each suitor so I played and played until I got as many kisses as I could (Ashcroft was the only actual kiss on the lips I could procure, the rest bestowed gentlemanly kisses on the hand. Sniff. I reaaaaallly wanted a kiss from Graham, but only my hand was so blessed LOL). Once I finished that, I played to unlock as many badges I could (which required me to respond in ways I NEVER would—rude, overly flirtatious, or extremely independent, etc. That was hilarious). I still have about a third of the badges to unlock, so lots of play time left. I do want a Lord Sutton option. I keep checking this developer, but on my device there aren’t any other games available by them. For shame! Lol. Haha. I hope they put out more for the Apple store soon. Great fun. Worth the money for Graham’s route for sure!!! Graham is a complete doll and Ashcroft makes a girl swoon. I was entertained by the wacky conversations of Digby and the older gentleman suitor (I forgot his name already..eek...guess he wasn’t my type lol). I wish to help or at least see Mary’s love story. That is perhaps one of the badges I haven’t unlocked yet? I’ll keep trying.... Thanks to the developers! You have a winning game here.

I still return to this

This game gave me life. And I guess my old review never posted so here goes: A gentle and surprisingly lengthy look at a six-month courtship with one of three bachelors (though I'm starting to suspect there's a hidden one as well!), alongside other daily interactions: old friends, family connections, town gossips, schoolchildren, the neighborhood cat. Personality and hobbies defined by *actual* role playing and by winning points in trivia and hangman challenges pertaining to period quotes and tidbits. Questions are repeated here and there, but not as frequently as in version 1.0. Personality traits can also run repetitive; there are many options for 'witty' and 'amiable,' but not as much as for others. Even so, there several different results and they add embellishments to the epilogues (which can be saved to the Memoirs menu). A tremendous amount of time has been given to this love project; play if you're curious, a fan of fine language, a romantic, and/or would like a gentle interactive story with replayability. One or two glitches; the nickname system has never seemed to work and one of Graham's scenes is cut short. Mild concerns. Support these lovely ladies!

Absolutely captivating!

I’ve been in a regency mood for the past month, and caved when I saw the premise of the game. I’ve never purchased an app before, but I am very glad that I purchased this one. Beautifully beautifully done. Lots of trivia for the Austen and/or history buffs (like me), with well thought out romances. Just finished playing it once through, Mr. Ashcroft made me swoon! I think if I get to know him more, Mr. Curtis will be good too. Personally really love Digby’s clumsy self. I do hope new bachelors will be added soon. I want to try my hand at Graham, but $6 is a bit pricey—maybe the next paycheck, haha. I also wish maybe there could be some customization of the main character, so we can have a face to connect to? As well as a chance to decline activities. I found myself avoiding certain places often so I wouldn’t have to have a conversation with Curtis. Highly recommend. Beautiful artwork and beautiful music. Beautiful storylines. A lot of emotional investment that leaves my heart all fluttery. I’m excited for the future updates! This was well worth the $5!

The Best Game Ever!! 💕

I have never written a review before, but this game touched me so much that I felt compelled to. I love Pride and Prejudice, and this game has an amazing Jane Austen feel to it. It was so easy for me to get lost in this world and in the role of my character. Speaking of characters, all of the ones in this game are amazing. They felt real, and I was so genuinely involved in the story. It was a tremendously wonderful experience. I’ve played other dating sims before, but this is the best. There are so many scenes and so many possibilities—I can’t keep repeating myself, but, seriously, I highly recommend this game to anyone who has ever wanted to get lost in a Jane Austen novel or control the protagonist in a romantic novel. The price is definitely worth it too. Most dating sims are $4 per character and don’t have nearly as much content. This game is a hidden gem among ALL apps. And it is replay-able, so you will get your money’s worth, I promise ;) Also, I recommend Mr. Ashcroft if you are head-over-heels for Mr. Darcy.

Amazing

I usually find that when I buy an app, it’s not actually worth the money. That is not the case with Regency Love. I love this app. I find myself constantly replaying it. Three men are included: Mr Curtis loosely based on Severus Snape. There is an Easter egg response if you say the right thing to him. He may be older and more aloof but I love that he’s a bookworm and he’s my favorite. Mr Ashcroft who looks after his sister and has a family secret. Mr Digby is kinda boring but clearly has a crush on you. He’s the last resort if you turn down the others Mr Graham is the IAP. He’s not cheap but well worth the money. He’s charming and sensitive and clearly falls in love with you. His storyline seems to be the longest and most involved making it worth the price tag of $5.99. The replay value is great. There are so many ways you can play your character. Witty, sensible compassionate etc all based on how you respond in the game. The epilogues can differ based on your characteristics and preferred activities. There are also lots of achievements and cutscenes to unlock. You can also swipe right on the screen during a conversation to see the reaction before making a final decision. I recommend this app if you love Jane Austen novels and even if you don’t but still love romance

Lord Sutton Needs a Story!!

I love the game I find all in all amazing however I have played through Graham's story many times and no matter I still can not find a way to be with Lord Sutton. I believe Lord Sutton needs his own story and that you can chose whom to spend more time with are Graham invites you to go see art with him and you decide to spend time with Lord Sutton. That you can spend time and run into Lord Sutton which will lead to a romance. That at the park when you notice Lord Sutton and Graham leaves you, Sutton leaves who he is with and talks to you. Sending you expensive art that you enjoyed when you were with him. A few more chapters pass and he confesses that he is in love with you.I think the game needs a Darcy sort of romance cause who doesn't love Darcy and Elizabeth!!!!!!

Deserves more credit

I went into this game half heartedly, purchasing it on a whim. But I love it so much! Yes, I too am an Ashcroft fangirl now. What I love is that it's set in the very era I love the most, and how much depth each character had. I found myself holding my breath at dramatic scenes with the Ashcrofts, puzzled over what response could satisfy Mr Carter, and smiling silly to myself of everyone's favorite Lord Fat Cat. There were moments that were kind of moment ruining. I wanted my motivation credits so in the middle of a romantic or dramatic scene I would be waiting for the hint bar to load with intense music playing in the background for some Jane Austen hangman. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 is the price. Lovely game, but should be cheaper. I believe it would be $5 worth of they had a better choice of bachelors. Sorry Mr Digby. Looking forward to what these creators will put out next! :D
