Overall, the game successfully balances entertainment and education, making it appealing for repeat playthroughs.

    • “The mechanics that allow for learning the places you don’t know help to gradually build up a player’s knowledge so it can be drawn in for repeat playthroughs as they chase high scores, unlockables, and achievements, or just the simple enjoyment of taking over the world in a casual but challenging game.”

    • “The game presents a humorous narrative that keeps the experience engaging while you learn about geography.”
    • “There's no violence portrayed in the game, and the tone is cartoony and light, constantly poking fun at the dictator and his incompetence: it's all just a loose story framework to fold around a game of identifying nations of the world by their border outlines and location on a Mercator projection map of the world.”
    • “If I pick a mission and I have already conquered the countries, I will not receive an award.”
