The PC version of ''Sultan's Game
received generally favorable reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In a demo review, PC Gamer
noted its completeness and how it forces you to do "evil things" to survive, which it avoided feeling overly gratutious or merely doing it for shock value. GamerSky
complimented how it encourages multiple playthroughs with out of game progression elements akin to roguelikes. Softpedia'' appreciated its "dark and beautiful" visual elements, but noted that some veer close to
NSFW, which could offend players. Chinese fans of ''Sultan's Game'' adored the political rival to the Sultan, Nawfal. This is expressed via players agreeing to help overthrow the Sultan and through mediums such as
fan art. Writer Chen Silin stated that this is because of how he evoked figures of feudal China that overthrew corrupt regimes, which some Chinese fans appeared aware of. ==References==
