iPhone App Review: The Sims™ Medieval

The Sims™ Medieval
by Electronic Arts



Thy Sim adventures not enough for thyself? Rejoice, there is a Sim Medieval app cometh down from EA forged especially for thy iPhone and other Apple devices.




Lo and behold! Sate yourself with a Sims game based on Medieval times fit nicely into your pocket. Although noticeably a more simplified version from its PC counterpart, Medieval offers all one could expect from any Sims games such as filling your basic needs, interacting with other Sims and drown your Sim with Medieval... nectar?

Anyways you start by creating your Sim, then you control him as you progress through your kingdom by completing a variety of quests in the world. It's a fun way to pass your time however watch out for the battery as you might get occupied with the game. Here's some screenshot of my Sim looking like a typical medieval Asian dude with a hammer.

The world or kingdom where your Sim can roam is fairly big enough and acceptable for a 62.5MB game. I'm not sure though if you can progress long enough and discover more of the world.

Meet other Sims of the medieval times and listen to their tales of the yore. Help them complete quests and you'll unlock more "Occupations" and Sim abilities like Taunt or Preach other Sims to repentant.

Why not plant vegetables and sell them at the market to earn Simoles (gold). Cabbages seems to be the main thing Sims eat during the medieval times.

Meet even more Sims and experience their love hate relationships. Intervening is optional but it's noticeably easy to make friends with anyone. Once you befriended them, as the Sims tradition dictates, you unlock more interactions with them from hugging to some ye olde medieval debaucheries.

 Oh there's fishing.

And there's also some medieval street brawling, with tangerine-glowing hammers.
