I will start by saying I only paid real money to avoid ads. If you’re having to fork out more money you aren’t budgeting your country correctly…The parallels with real life is the best feature. It gives you a chance to plot a different course of action. I ended the game with a 90% approval rating, 83% and up in every category. I hope they come out with a second term soon!

This game starts out fun, but it quickly becomes obvious that it’s designed to push you into spending money. Every major decision drains your cash, and before long you’re presented with objectives that cost billions while you only have millions. At that point, you can’t progress unless you wait an unreasonable amount of time or pay. It feels less like a strategy game where your decisions matter and more like a paywall disguised as gameplay. I don’t mind optional purchases, but the progression shouldn’t come to a complete stop because the economy is intentionally stacked against free players. There’s a solid game underneath, but the aggressive monetization ruins the experience. Until the balance is improved so free players can make steady progress, I can’t recommend it.

This is the first time I played a game like this, it gives you a few choices about how you’d run the country and the choice you make changes the story what happens, if you make the wrong choices it messes you up you have to try and stay popular. I love the design too so cool

This feels more like a money grab than a strategy game. You can barely get through the beginning or complete an objective before being hit with an ad or being pushed to subscribe and spend real money. The game has potential, but the monetization gets in the way of actually enjoying it. Let players experience the game and progress naturally instead of constantly interrupting gameplay with ads and paywalls. I’d gladly support the game if the monetization felt reasonable, but right now it feels like you’re being charged before you even get a chance to properly play.
