Be the supreme leader and read a lot. It is mostly a text-based political simulator. It has its quirks to recommend, except if you don't like to read.
Man this game is pretty good. It has a turn based style where most the gameplay is setting the budget and dealing with various scenarios but it does give that "one more turn" feeling that my dopamine addicted brain loves. Definitely the main draw of the game. That being said it is incredibly challenging. This game forces you to jump into the deep end and make decisions you don't really know the outcome of. This game has a lot of fun tying you up, putting you in a bag and throwing you into the deep end of the pool while yelling at you to swim. Sooo no not a lot of handholding. The tutorial was short and basically nonexistent for most of the game's different budget/policy screens where most the gameplay is located. Most of the decisions are based on real world events which is cool. If you get a lot out of researching history you'll have lots of fun playing this with a wikipedia article open while you play. Does that lower the difficulty? Eh, not so much but it gives you more context behind your decisions and allows for an incredibly immersive experience. I have now started referring to my friends and family as "comrade" which is a problem I know. Your choices drive the style of w…
A very decent game. Despite being fairly railroaded and unrealistic at times it still is interesting and fun to play. You can manage the policies and finance with adequate depth and roleplay as different political parties with their own challendges and caveats. Game usually reacts to your actions dynamically and different playstyles suffer from different problems. On small problem is a presence of a defenitive meta strat which allows for an easy playthought even on the hardest of difficulties. The game lacks a clear tutorial and many mechanics are counter intuitive. But despite all that the game remains very solid and stands favorably as one of the few games of the genre. I would rate it as 7/10 with 8/10 potential. *P.S Note to those who does not speak Russian. The English translation is sometimes lacking, despite being improved upon.
