Sultan’s Game, a card-based narrative strategy title developed by Flying Sheep Studios and published by 2P Games, has reached an impressive peak of 34,659 concurrent players on Steam shortly after its Early Access launch, according to SteamDB data from this Saturday.
Inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, the game blends strategy RPG mechanics with resource management and choose-your-own-adventure storytelling. You take on the role of a royal advisor serving a ruthless Sultan, forced to participate in a deadly weekly card-drawing ritual.
Each card presents a grim challenge: Carnality, Extravagance, Conquer, or Bloodshed that must be resolved within seven in-game days. Failure means execution, while success brings consequences that ripple through the kingdom, forcing you to adapt your strategies to survive.
The game has found particular popularity in China, reinforcing the value of strong localization efforts. Its accessible yet deep mechanics, easy to learn but difficult to master, alongside the freedom of choice in decision-making, have contributed to its strong player engagement. Whether Sultan’s Game can maintain its momentum will hinge on post-launch support. Planned features like mod support and expanded storylines could help sustain its player base in the long term.
