I’ve played this game all day now, which doesn’t sound like a lot I know, but it was. I really don’t understand the reviews saying the game is too hard. It has a bit of a learning curve but once you’ve got it there’s not a lot of difficulty financially. I’m over 100 turns in, defend from invasions easily, and have conquered one other dictator. With just the first island you can easily make thousands with the factions liking you. And that’s really the problem I’m running into. They like me too much. I understand that part of the game is managing their opinions and I’m not saying you should completely remove penalties for high opinion. But I upgraded the propaganda tower very high. Every turn I get +3 to a random faction. But once has happening every turn, the factions start turning on you. Maybe just letting you downgrade that slot would help. Or allow you a chance to imprison someone who’s opinion is getting to high(as the prison upgrade is useless when dealing with high opinion). At this point I have 3 rebellions as another one may start soon. There’s simply no way to manage opinions once they all get really high. Saying no over and over will raise the others, that were already very high, to rebellion. Plus 3 for propaganda. It just feels like we’re punished for doing well in that aspect. I have no complaint about pay to win and money though. There’s literally a passive money gain, as well as +100$ every turn if you watch an ad. You can definitely do well without paying real money. Fix how high opinion is handled and the game is really really great.

Cool concept with the first game however it’s much harder than the first. I don’t see the appeal of having it be so difficult to raise your nations factions to gold and hold it consistently like the first game. It’s annoying. Not to mention that every time you make a decision after choosing what faction to have appear before you, plays an ad that you can’t skip and then having it play again afterwards. It takes around 10 seconds. There are much better options out there on the App Store and even on other platforms that don’t play as many annoying ads. They actually provide a chance to win, and don’t have you questioning if it was worth playing. This game is another pay to win game like the millions of others out there. Why support this lazy and obvious cash grab that forces players to pay real currency to prolong the inevitable failure of your rule. The intent of the developers is to have your dictatorship toppled or fail in someway in order for them to have you spend your real money in order to not lose your progress and be toppled. Forget this game and the developers, they are just as bad as EA games. Btw this game deserves 1/2 of 5 stars but I can’t rate it lower than 1 🤷🏽

It’s an incredible game and definitely worth getting. The animation, audio and gameplay are all flawless! I’ve had trouble recently finding games that actually KEPT me interested, and I think I’ve finally found it! However... there’s one annoying and repetitive problem: crashes. Since I started campaign game and a scenario together, it’s crashed every time I opened the app after only a few seconds. I’ve tried restarting my phone and even offloading/re-downloading the app. Nothing has worked.Please fix this! I’m worried that I’ll end up like someone who just finished their favorite show on Netflix and they don’t know what to watch.

Owned and played the game for years. Beat the missions and owned all territories on the main campaign. Loved every minute of it. Sure there were bugs, but once you figure out how to work around them, everything works fine. New update rolls out. “Bug fixes”. Cool. New logo, new terms and conditions. Cool. After playing 2 turns on the main campaign, I get a forced advertisement. Not cool. One of the things I really liked about the old game was that the ads were never forced. You watch them when you want to get specific bonuses. Now that I’m going to have yet another game decide to treat its users like cash cows instead of actual people (forced ads versus using optional rewards), I’m going to be uninstalling, and encourage others to do the same until something changes. If the devs want to ad adverts to the game, at the very least, don’t put it in a “bug fixes” patch. I would have been at least a little forgiving if that were the case. Guess not, since greed won again.
