Decent game
The game is strategic and slightly challenging, while still being interesting. It has basic mechanics and a couple extras without being too overwhelming. 😃*There are not very many ads!* 😃 There are only ads after you have finished the whole round, and they tend to be short. The tiny ad bar at the bottom is not disruptive, and it only costs .99 to remove ads. However, if you aren’t bothered by an ad here and there, then it won’t be very much of a problem. It does have multiple glitches, which I’d like to point out- 1, The Tutorial guy. Whenever you go to answer a question, he pops up, saying “now resolve the problem with the appropriate faction…” even after the tutorial is over. It can get annoying after a while. 2. Making money. In the game, the money generator is hilariously slow at earning money, to the point where it doesn’t really do much at all. Money is a scare resource in the game, so that doesn’t really help. 3. When you make decisions, the police tend to be very finicky, even about things that do not affect them at all. (Example: I decide to allow clapping at concerts to remain legal. The police lose 3 points. Why?) But despite these little things, I do enjoy this game. Recommend! ***Note: there is a second version of the game now. Go check that out. They probably fixed the bugs I mentioned and added and more. Thanks for reading!***
United StatesGood potential, but poor execution
It is way too complicated to explain entirely, so I’ll make a pros and cons list. Pros: • I really like the concept: a dictator ruling a democratic republic, having to appease factions while also not appeasing them too much. • Even with the simplistic nature of these mobile games, it has a significant amount of detail. • I especially like the part where there’s a giant statue in your image, and people are bowing down to that statue out of respect and awe. • Much of the reactions from the factions are accurate and even realistic to a large extent. • Even without the game features, just the concept of it is so well-made and interesting. However, there are many cons as well: • There is the “now resolve the problem” guy constantly repeating the same message over and over again, even after the tutorial is done. It can get extremely annoying. • Money is quite scarce, and it’s very difficult having enough money unless you spam-appease a lot of the factions enough to get money. • Speaking of which, the bank (where you can collect money from), and the money generator generates so little money, it’s almost entirely useless. There are some rare glitchy moments where I get way more money from the bank than I’m supposed to, but they’re extremely rare. • Some of the reactions from some of the factions are buggy and nonsensical. • There is no “save button”. • A lot of glitches sometimes as well There’s a lot of both pros and cons, way too much for me to mention all of them. But you get my point. The game’s concept, and many of its components, are very interesting and well-made. It’s how the concept was executed that is the issue, it seems some parts were rushed or not well-done. I really want to give a 5-star review, because of the game’s potential, the great concept, and some of the amazing features. I really want this game to succeed. However, with its many glitches and problems, I unfortunately cannot. I hope in the near future, problems are fixed, and this game is improved for the better.
United StatesGame has gone down hill
This game was indeed a 10 out of 5 back then when they first come out. It’s now all just adds and redirects. Truly sad to see that it’s gotten so bad. Also I paid for add free forever ago and tried to restore purchases and nothing. Stay away unless you like adds and just poor quality for iPhone 12pro or newer
United States“Now resolve the problem”
I used to really like this game, but upon redownloading it there’s a bug where the advisor pops up *every round* of *every game* telling me that i need to resolve the problem. like dude, i know. and there’s no way to turn it off. honestly feels intentional to get more people to buy the sequel rather than the free original.
United Statesbuggy
tutorial won’t stop
United StatesFlawed execution
The concept was good, the animation pretty good, but it got unbearably glitchy. Was also a bit too simple in execution, like it should have had more complication. Certain animations associated with beginner orientation would simply repeat every turn, which was a bit annoying. Eventually just glitched out to a statue of kim jong un being praised.
United StatesObjectively worse than the old version
It’s a fun strategy game, cool to see how long you can last. But it’s objectively worse than the old version. The new graphics are dumb, “family” replaced with “mafia” makes no sense, and now it has ads.
