Recommended Apr 17, 2026
Conseptually cool but still needs some work and with some things which I hope are bugs. For example, if you press - the game will zoom out, yet if you press + the game won't zoom back in. Meaning it gets stuck zoomed out. Reinstalling didn't fix this in my case but going CRTL0 did. I tried to form a coalition government at one point and the game just went black. It would be cool if you could add multiple custom parties as being active with that party DLC. Also having more in depth relations with other parties would be cool too. Same with more in depth policy propasals alongside a ideological framework. I just hope this games development is far from being finished. A lot more could be done with this and I hope the developers continue to work on it.

It's unplayable for my 1920*1200 screen. Some of the buttons are blocked by other panels and there's no resolution option

honestly not that bad of an election game though the English translations are sometimes always not the greatest this is very good at portraying Spanish politics though the debates are the only difficulty I have
