Our take on Vive le Roi
The focus on compact, move-focused puzzles gives the game a defined structure, but leaves less room for broad exploration or varied adventure systems. Its historical premise frames the action, while progress remains centered on solving individual levels efficiently.
What is Vive le Roi?
Set during the French Revolution, this puzzle platform game follows an attempt to save King Louis XVI from execution on January 21, 1793.
The adventure contains 30 levels built around puzzles and movement through guarded areas. Players can open gates, move objects, and use other actions to trick guards. Each level challenges players to find a solution using the minimum number of moves. The story presents the king's survival as a way to change France's history and prevent the country's destiny from being shaped by the revolutionaries and the elite. Progress combines platforming, guard-related obstacles, object manipulation, and move-focused puzzle solving across the game's levels.
