Fit For A King
A downloadable reformation for Windows
Reform the church to divorce and marry as you please, from foreign princesses to your favourite bookshelf. Or both. Jail your steward. Execute everyone. Ordain your horse as a priest. Knight your bed. Who’s going to stop you? God? Nope. You're Pope now.
This is no game of thrones. This is real life, as Henry VIII would have lived it. If only he had the imagination.
England, 1520. As the king or queen of this nation, you've been challenged to out-spend your rival, King Frank, at the Field of the Cloth of Gold. With the help of your staff and sycophants, you might be able to do it. Except you've misplaced your gold all over the castle... time to find all those chests and collect all those taxes!
Maybe you'll bankrupt the country, but at least you'll have a good time doing it.
- 26 royal commands, including (M)arry, e(X)ecute, (C)ollect taxes, (B)less, (K)night, (P)lay Lute and (R)eform Church.
- Play as King or Queen and rewrite the laws to suit your whim.
- Non-linear adventure sandbox simulation. Rule your kingdom or wreak havoc in it, as you prefer.
- Meet Machiavelli, Suleiman the Magnificent, and more, in incredible historical realism.
- Original music tracks by Visager Music, as well as an adaptation of Henry VIII's masterwork, Pastime in Good Company.
- A bear. Beware.
Humiliate King Frank with your wealth and excess, or die trying.
You can alsobuy the original soundtrack by Visager Music here!

I got this in a bundle, I think actual years ago? Just randomly downloaded it today while trying to take my mind off some stuff and it really hit the spot. Very silly no pressure fun, lots to explore, and there wasn't anything TOO difficult here but it still required some amount of thinking.
I got a near perfect ending, Dogg matched evenly with his rival Shitt. I think I was only lacking costumes for the monkeys, but it was late and I wanted to sleep so I just ended the game then rather than scouring for more gold.
Only one taxpayer eluded me, that is one lucky ass little serf.
....I really do need to go back and try out some of the sillier options later though, I played it pretty straight this time around.
I embarked on a one man crusade to clean up the streets, executing the piles of stinking refuse.
Later I was accused of tyranny by pro-poo sympathizers, and assassinated by the families of the 'victims'. I don't know if this means I was smothered by a manure cart or assaulted by a hog anus, but I challenge anyone to find a better King who has personally done more for the people. (I mercifully pardoned the one that had gold hidden inside it of course, nothing about my rule was unjust!)
Any tips on what to do when this happens? I really enjoyed the game, but now I can't play TwT

I felt I should leave my review here too as it deserves it:
5/5
I really really really - enjoyed this game. From start to finish. I did not expect it to be a collect them all type of game. It was a delight. The story was good too despite how it was a sandbox. Thank you for adding multiple flavour text depending on if you married+divorced an object.
I actually thought this was a NEW Ultima. Im so shocked, it brings me back to the old Ultima II and III days. Work very well done!!! Game is amazing!!! When OSI made Ultima into a doom like game, they lost me forever. I thought work like this would never be seen again! I actually passed this by when my mouseover quickly showed a brief glimpse of the game. It was enough to make me actually look at the video, to be flooded with past memories of RGs Ultima series. Movement, predefined graphics, boat battles, I quickly clicked the pay and download button in fear that this game would vanish and Id wake up to garbage games of these days. Final fantasy went the doom look as well and lost me as well. Whoever the author is of this game, dont ever change!!! This masterpiece is what so many have been striving to relive, and you did a beautiful job!
