King's Orders is a simplified historical strategy game with an important innovation. You command your armies by sending letters with orders. Messengers with these letters travel the land and can be lost or intercepted. Generals execute orders upon receipt and send you reports the same dangerous way.

Although the base concept is great, the game itself is extremely boring due to AI not recruiting troops at a comparable level to the player. I played as Al Andalus in reconquista and England in hundred years war, you start with 5k as Al Andalus and 8k as England, which is enough to recruit thousands of troops of all kinds and build up your country, when two starting armies number several hundred. With income you can recruit a thousand spearmen or archers, or lower amounts of heavy cav. I am not sure if the AI even recruits any troops. Enemy army sizes largely stayed the same. Biggest challenge was rebels in reconquista scenario which started with around 3000 in total in each city. Once I dealt with them, Castile-Leon rolled over. There is a difficulty setting but hard mode only reduces your units attack and gives more funds to the enemy, which is numbers based difficulty that I don't think will make the ai better. Many actions such as sending units or diplomacy are poorly implemented and should require less clicks. edit: The game seems more balanced in the Norman conquest scenario which has the tutorial. So it is the other scenarios that need balancing.
The game isn't worth playing. All you get are pictures of whatever some AI has botched. The whole thing is a scam—you don't control anything, you don't give orders, you don't send soldiers anywhere, and you don't even fight. DLC with its drawings does nothing but draw a few lines for you. I was looking forward to a strategy game where I’d lead a battle, but instead, you don’t do anything at all. There’s no battle, and you don’t control anything.
