About China: Mao's legacy
✦ AI summary
Guide China through the tumultuous transition after Mao's death, navigating Cold War alliances, economic reforms, and internal party politics to shape the nation's future from 1976 to 1985. Your decisions determine whether China reconciles with the Soviet Union, embraces Western capitalism, or forges its own path—ultimately influencing the geopolitical landscape of the entire 20th century.
Year 1976, the stormy Cultural revolution has died down, hard times of hongweibing and public critics are coming to an end. Old and sick Mao Zedong will soon leave China to his comrades from CPC. The Cold War is coming into a new phase and only you will determine what will China become and what place will it take in the world.
— Lead the People's Republic of China from 1976 to 1985
— Restore relations with the USSR and compete for the leadership in the socialist camp or become the conductor of USA's interests or forge your own path without looking at others
— Build a strong planned economy, lead the market reforms and invite investors from all over the world or fulfill communist's dream about automated state plan - the future of Chinese economy is in your hands
— Expand your influence, become the master of the Asian region, reach for the Europe - the restless world of Cold War gives you a lot of opportunities
— Watch over the Party - politicians want to reach higher places, plot and conspire. Your fellow party members may become your helpful allies or deadly enemies
— Remember that your actions will determine the world by the end of the XX century - will the Soviet Union fall apart, will the socialist camp fall, will DPRK become an outcast country, will you repeat the glorious path of China or will you manage even better?

Its so in depth and genuinely immersive. Long live communism and all the workers movements. free palestine25 found this helpful
One of those Games that starts off pretty well, but then keeps getting worse and worse with big mistakes = China: Mao's legacy Good Start: The Working Class expropriates the Capitalists Continued in a bad Way: Workers' democracy was not established in the first place but Stalinist bureaucracy that exploits the planned economy Designed the Structure in a bad Way just as it had failed before2 found this helpful
One of the best games I've ever played. It takes itself siriously and is surprisingly a very historicly educational video game. The gameplay is engaging and really sucks you in. The sheer amount of player choice to build the world you want is something I wish more video games had. You can pretty much make china, and the greater world, into whatever political system you wish (thinking realisticly of course), presuming you are play intelligently and restart the game a LOT of times. Honest ten out of ten review, I really look forward to seeing more from this game and more from Nostalgames as a whole!1 found this helpful
OST is fairly good and inmmersive and is really inmmersive as someone who enjoys this kind of polsims. The graphics are meh, but it even gives a vibe. I prob overpaid for it with all dlcs, still quite enjoyable
The game is fun to play once you get a hang of it. After a 6-5 year hiatus I've began to get back into this game. I like the very "indie" appearance and the challenge of the game. Would recommend. Also read some guides on the game too!
good stuff
