About Forgetful Dictator


In Forgetful Dictator, knowledge is power! Conquer countries by simply learning their names. Answer trivia questions, survive time trials, identify national flags and capitals. Can you defeat the dictator's oldest enemy, the tyrannosaurus tyrant? And his true nemesis, forgetfulness?

Forgetful Dictator is a hilarious geography game with strategy elements, somehow suitable for all ages. It’s the weirdest way to teach yourself about the world.

Features


  • Conquer the world: 180+ countries and territories to learn and conquer.
  • Triumph over trivia: hundreds of carefully selected trivia questions to answer, chosen for their useful or surprising facts. Less “3rd highest mountain in Asia”, and more “Which countries have nuclear weapons?”
  • Defeat the Dino Dictator: the dino can conquer countries, forcing you to answer specific trivia questions about them. But he’s a very nice and deserving person, best just to let him have it.
  • Get strategic: acquire hints from answering trivia questions, and use them to help name the countries. Don’t run out of armies or you’ll meet the firing squad…and get fired!
  • Manage upgrades: on your quest for world domination you will acquire bonuses, complete missions, launch BlitzCraigs, and even fire superweapons (gently).
  • Have a hearty chortle: with hundreds of hilarious dialogue lines, you can laugh while you learn! Every character is a different flavour of dork.
  • Unlock rewards: including different unlockable gamemodes, with modes that focus on flags and capitals.
  • Challenge yourself: with achievements and hardcore options. Can you become a master of basic geography?

This is a free game with no ads or microtransactions.

Such a fun geography game. I was hooked on this for the longest time. I even play this in practice mode with my students when I taught social studies. Absolutely incredible game for learning countries and geography I couldn't recommend this more.

What a creative, fun and useful little gem of a game! I loved it so much that I had trouble putting it down. I wish more games like this existed where you can learn and memorize irl things(:

I find it a bit sad that the micro nations and some of the other mini nations are not included. I'm learning a lot, love the game

Very helpful with flags, I already was good at flags but really helped me with the southern West African flags & The Central Asian 'stans'. Wish I could turn off trivia since I only really want to better my flag knowledge and not know random facts about African countries lmao.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
