No Place for the Dissident

This is literally Plague Inc. reskinned to look like DEFCON, which half the gameplay and an inverted amount of polish. There's no reason to actually play this, and you can go to the discussions page to see that the developer doesn't care and thinks the game is already perfect. I find the notion that he thinks this is an acceptable political game to be insulting. As an example of how shallow this is, the only thing you define about the ideology you're spreading is the name. That's it. Nothing else. This game doesn't even have a menu screen. This isn't even an alpha build. This isn't even a tech demo. This is barely a 2008 flash game. This isn't even worth playing if it was free.

The gameplay is promising, but the game itself is a direct rip of Plague Inc for how the interface works. For this game though, that interface doesn't match, nor work well. Not including there are massive grammar, spelling, and basic English mistakes that makes the tool tips hard to understand as if written by a "Prince of Nigeria" email translator. This seems like it would be better tailored as a maniacal evil genius interface, or demonic or something to actually sell the idea. Like you chose news stories to run by selecting propaganda options. Or, that you react to the "others" by promoting your own ideology that forwards progress and human survival like most real socialist regimes do, subverting them with propaganda. Like I said, it's got a good premise, but the execution is horrible.

pretty nice but a bit pricey for the amount of replaying you can get dont buy im not gonna sugar coat it i have played this game 2 times ive had it for over a year DONT BUY

Decent game, great looking map as well. I do think though that adding in cold war like mechanics into the game could improve it. overall 6/10

i feel awful and you are probably going to feel the same 5.1/10

So short run so far, I stopped so I could get a refund. So far the game play, was, hit pause, click on the book icon. Unpause. Pause, click on the book icon and the loud speaker icon. Unpause. As your ideology expands, pause click on the book icon and the speaker icon for each country, Clicking on infulence public media as well and the next icon along if there is resistance in the area. Winning strategy, I had most of the world under my sway, Quite a few nations fanatically supporting me. But pause, click click click? It's just far too mindless, promises complexity that does not seem to exist. I'ld be mildy miffed if it was a free flash game,
