To Be A King - Volume 1

Editorial Worth it

To Be A King Volume 1 is a story-driven harem AVN set in a Roman-inspired court, where your choices genuinely shape alliances and political intrigue. The writing and character development are sophisticated—most reviewers praise the plot, world-building, and the depth of female characters, each with distinct personalities and story arcs. The static CG artwork is high-quality, though the lack of animations and relatively brief intimate scenes disappoint some. However, the game's real problem is abandonment: the developer has been silent on Steam for over a year despite claiming ongoing work, posting only to Patreon. A finished Volume 1 exists and is playable, but the future of the series is in serious doubt, and many feel misled by the radio silence. For players who value narrative and harem-building over visual spectacle, this is engaging and worth playing as a complete story arc—just don't expect Volume 2 anytime soon, if ever. The game runs smoothly and has no technical bugs to report, but the dev's abandonment of the community sours the experience for many.
