About Social Justice Warriors
✦ AI summary
Choose from five warrior archetypes—Paladin, Cleric, Mage, Rogue, or Champion—each with distinct abilities to debate trolls and opponents across social media while managing your Patience and Reputation meters. The game explores how online discourse escalates through attacks and mudslinging, challenging you to decide whether victory comes through logical arguments, personal attacks, alliance-building, or the harder path of mediation and compromise.
Social Justice Warriors expresses frustration with how people use divisive labels – like “SJW” and “troll” – to discredit and silence each other. No matter what social values you have, attacking and ridiculing other people not only fails to achieve progress but has an additional effect of escalating the conflict while exhausting your patience and eroding your reputation.
The warriors and their opponents fight and fall by the measure of their Patience and Reputation meters. Trolls confound your patience with logical fallacies and ad hominem attacks while actively working to destroy your reputation with wild accusations and photoshopped evidence of your misdeeds.
How you choose to respond to these attacks is up to you. Relying solely on logical arguments to change minds doesn’t work very well online, but resorting to personal attacks and mudslinging will erode your moral high ground.
With the aid of your warrior allies and a few mysterious outsiders, you have the ability to reshape the conflict. Take down a multitude of trolls to attain a new high score or make sacrifices to become a noble Social Justice Champion, who takes no joy in tearing down other human beings. The Champion relies on mediation and reconciliation, listening to their concerns and proposing mutually beneficial compromise. The utility of compromise is just as uncertain as destroying opponents, but a Champion values its beliefs more than temporary gratification.
The Warriors
- Social Justice Paladins duel foes with 140 characters or less while shrugging off attacks with a press of the Block button, at least until their foes create new accounts.
- Social Justice Clerics serve in the name of their patron sub deity, taking solace in its comforting presence to heal and summoning its divine power to smite their enemies.
- Social Justice Mages conjure powerful constructs of fact and opinion to alter minds and reality while occasionally summoning an activist organization or hurling a scathing fireball of a blog post.
- Social Justice Rogues fight fire with fire. Throw flurries of vitriolic character attacks, confuse enemies with smokescreens of alternate accounts, then delete your accounts and withdraw into the shadows of the net.

Great idea here, but it's the pure definition of half-baked. The gameplay kinda comes down to a rock-paper-scissors type attack scheme (with some luck modifiers), and a defend option. I had a thought that this was just an excuse for secret-a%%holes to write some really offensive stuff, so I was willing to overlook the benefit of strategic or comedic rebuttals if the edge was funny, so I gave it a chance. The offensive stuff intends to be taken and found humorous, but just comes across like insults from ChatGPT, but in a game from 10 years ago. "Don't like America- MOVE!" kinda stuff. Then you choose rock-paper-scissor, hope for the best, and see what you get. There are crusading interlopers who do random stuff as well, like double your opponent's sanity and reputation, or possibly save you from a crushing defeat of random odds, but because nothing feels really in your control, or that anything you choose really matters outside of choosing to attack their ego or their logic. This game really didn't really tap into either for me, so I'm going to say confidently there's not much to see here, and it's a damn shame. I hope the devs come back to this idea, but take inspiration from games…4 found this helpful

Very Difficult to Play and SJW Culture is Pure Commie Cancer. All Liberals Deserve to Be Defunded and Banned since they are all Dictators that Want to Ban Christianity and All Religion in America and Other Countries and Want to Promote Satan's Sinful Lifestyles. Screw Left Wing Social Justice!1 found this helpful
A fun game for the first 10 minutes, not worth its current price tag
I have mixed feelings about this 'indie game.' It's novel from a certain point of view regarding a topic that has already been frequently discussed over the past few years. Past that, the actual gameplay mechanics are so-so and it's easy to run into a brick wall regardless of how you play and which class you pick. But I don't regret getting the game on sale.
