What tablet players say

• I’ve always loved the Kingdom franchise and own the game on multiple platforms. However, there is a big problem. I’ve been playing this game in coop mode on iPad using two DualSense controllers for a few weeks now, and I’ve experienced several significant glitches that have resulted in an extremely frustrating experience. First of all, when I connect the two controllers to my device via bluetooth, the game recognizes the first controller I use to control the menu as the primary controller and the second controller wouldn’t work at all, forcing me to make my device forget the second controller and reconnect it in order for it to work properly. Secondly, every time we travel to a new island, the second player’s money pouch appears as empty while having practically infinite capacity. This can be helpful; however, if they pick up a gem or any special item, it will not show visually and it will be a mystery as to whether it was even picked up. Thirdly, the assignment of archers to armies was already a conundrum, but on top of that, the operation of the armies also leaves me scratching my head. There was one case where we defeated the last portal before the cave portal, and we built the bomb in preparation for beating the island; however, there was no army to accompany the bomb (where there should usually be two), instead there was one single army general walking on the river! The last glitch that finally forced us to abandon our coop campaign was when after beating an island, the second player became unable to pay for anything. They could still drop coins, but the little circles that would pop up above things you could pay for, would no longer pop up, essentially halting progress. I tried everything: going to new islands, switching between singles and coop mode, reconnecting controllers, reloading the game. Nothing worked. I figured this problem might be tied to the campaign and sure enough, when we switched to different campaign, everything was fine. Fundamentally, this game is a fantastic game with stunning visuals, intuitive mechanics, and satisfying progression, it’s just a shame all of that is tainted by the countless glitches and bugs, particularly in coop mode (which I assume is the selling point of Kingdom “Two” Crowns). I understand that this game has not received an update in a minute but I hope the devs see this message and consider revisiting the game to ensure the coop experience is smoother.

• On my M1 IPad Air the display does not feel centered. This is strange because I played this game on Apple Arcade before deciding to purchase it so I was familiar with how the game was supposed to look. If you could please fix the sizing on the screen that would be great
