About Yes, Your Grace
Yes Your Grace is a kingdom management RPG where you act as a medieval ruler balancing petitioners' demands and limited resources. Developed by Brave At Night and published by No More Robots, it launched on March 6, 2020, for PC, consoles, and mobile. Each turn, characters in your court ask for help with personal issues or kingdom matters. You must decide which requests to prioritize, as food, money, and political support dwindle over time. The game’s charm lies in its absurd humor and moral dilemmas, like whether to fund a baker’s bread or a knight’s quest. With single-player only mode and a minimalist art style, it’s a bite-sized strategy game that feels both satirical and satisfying.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around a grid-based throne room. Petitioners appear in set intervals, each with a unique problem that costs time, gold, or resources to resolve. You issue orders via a menu system, assigning actions like “Grant Audience” or “Ignore.” Managing three key resources, Food, Gold, and Loyalty, is critical. If you neglect one, the kingdom crumbles: starve your people, and they revolt; ignore loyalty, and nobles betray you. The turn-based pace allows careful planning, but late-game chaos forces tough choices. Minigames for resolving conflicts add variety, though the controls on mobile or consoles can feel clunky. Sessions last 20, 40 minutes, perfect for quick bursts of decision-making.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Yes Your Grace 88%, praising its “wacky scenarios and tight resource management.” Community moods skew mostly cheerful, with 62% labeling it “relaxing” and 28% “addictive.” Average playtime is 14 hours, with 92% completing the main story. Critics on Steam note the game’s simplicity as both a strength and a limitation, some call it “a clever parable for governance,” while others say it “repeats itself after 10 hours.” Twitch ranks it #52, though its cult following remains steady. Achievement completion sits at 84%, with 73% earning the “Starving Court” milestone for failing to feed everyone.
PlayPile's Take
Yes Your Grace is a solid pick for fans of light strategy and dark humor. At $19.99 (if still priced similarly), it’s a low-risk buy with high replayability thanks to randomized petitioners. The achievements are easy to unlock, but the real reward is the satisfaction of balancing impossible choices. It won’t replace deeper kingdom simulators like Crusader Kings, but as a 10, 15 hour diversion, it hits its mark. Skip if you prefer grind-heavy systems, this is all about quick, punchy decisions and absurd character interactions.
