Megalo Polis

EDIT: They only recently added Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, so this is outdated. Also to clarify: I meant genuine political games that aren't meme tastic. Political games are hard to come by on Steam. This one, I was very disappointed by. First of all, I understand that it's in Early Access. No brainer whatsoever. But the dire selection of characters from the get go is disappointing. We're even given the option to play Obama? This is over Bernie Sanders or Ted Cruz, or whoever. I'm not expecting Political Machine levels of depth but it's silly. Especially when I run against Trump, Obama and another weird version of Hillary? It feels like a lack of care has gone into it. The lock feature is broken as hell, I can't secure my city at all. The character models look ugly. Trump has cargo pants? Hillary doesn't look like Hillary? They have a really annoying squeaky effect on voices, I'd rather have the unaltered voice. Animations for the UI aren't good. Game mechanics aren't properly explained. Also the AI is so dumb. This is barely a review because this is barely a game.

Warning:This is an early access game. This review is also in an early state. The American Election is a great topic .And it also have an interesting core mechanic in this game. But at current state.it isn't a good game. You can go to 50 states of America(as 50 or less stage and developers says they will make more special rules at each state)With your three AI Opponent. You must convert more citizen than them to win the battle,At last you can win the election. The way to convert the citizens into your team is:stand still to make a speech... Actually,that's not a bad idea. But when your control is awkward, the mechanic seems too weak to play. The mouse control will make wrong route 50% of all time. the speed is too slow sometimes. The competitive part of this mechanic seems frustrated. And there doesn't have many ways to directly attack the AI. The AI still have some bug,which will ruin the experience. If you can make their own personal style into the gameplay more, and make them can fight each other as a way to win the battle,this game will better than now. The Graphic is good, the cartoon style will increase the effect.and the color is soft and bright,that's alright. But the s…

A game that was pushed out for the elections? Probably. If these elections weren't so crazy would a game like this succeed? Probably not. It's a cute concept and I could see it as a humorous time killer on mobile but I'm not too sure anyone would put in more than 2 hours in this game.

[h1] Megalo Polis is funny… At first. Then, the repetitive gameplay and the grating, squeaky voices of the ridiculous, bobble-headed candidates drags down the whole experience. If the “strategy” tag on this game appealed to you, you’ll be sorely disappointed. [/h1] .Story. In the 2016 elections, anyone can run. Play as a giant form of presidential candidates Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, or Donald Trump and try to win the popular vote by running around the states. .Gameplay. [i]Anyone can run in the 2016 election...[/i] You run—literally—using the mouse. In fact, the entire game can be played via your mouse, though there are a few hotkeys that correspond with the number keys. [i]...But to win you’ll need to be fast... [/i] The race is on. (See what I did there?) In order to conquer districts, you’ll need to get there before your enemy and sway your constituents with honeyed words that you may or may not mean. You know, like an election. The squeaky voices that utter these honeyed words are aggravating, but if you listen closely, you’ll hear phrases that you might actually expect the flesh and blood candidate to say in real life. That was a nice touc…

The concept of the game is fantastic and gets you hooked right off the bat, however, the it can become a bit repititive as the game progresses. The cartoonish gameplay keeps the player entertained, great move by the developers incorporating tacky campaign speech by the candidates, very funny. The game in its current state is great but I expect more to come once the game is fully polished and released. The time zones in each state add a sense of urgency when campaigning and certainly applies the pressure; I enjoy the tackiness, the cartoony enviroment, and the overall concept of the game. All I ask from the game devs is to alleviate some of the repititiveness of the game by providing the player with more features than just going disctrict by district and hoping the voters rally around you, even though that's kinda what the candidates are doing IRL. I appreciate the random scenarios the game provides the player with when campainging, such as accepting the support of a star or making promises to the voters. I would enjoy the game even more if they were possibly debate platforms, or media angle to work to expand the players options in tackling states, maybe we can launch ads in a st…

[i]Megalo Polis[/i] works... and that's the only good thing about it. There's absolutely no strategy involved, and the comedy expected from something dealing with the US elections, is restricted to a two-second smile-worthy art-style - you'll have more fun watching the actual elections.
