The gameplay is characterized by its unique combination of democracy mechanics and civilization themes, offering an interesting yet flawed experience. While the mechanics are easy to grasp and the game allows for extensive modding, players often feel overwhelmed by the complexity and lack of clarity in certain aspects, leading to a perception of broken gameplay and limited longevity. Despite these issues, the core gameplay is considered enjoyable, with potential for deeper engagement as future updates are released.
“The entire concept is very unique; there are no games that thought of the idea of democracy mechanics combined with a civilization theme.”
“Its graph-manipulating gameplay isn't something I've seen anything remotely similar anywhere else, and it provides for some very interesting design spaces.”
“Now each version has brought additional depth and elements, but I can say that the core gameplay was enjoyable and well-thought from the very start.”
“Like the game is easy to play mechanic-wise but you're not given enough info on why certain things are the way they are, and these are important things.”
“Its gameplay is utterly broken.”
“Furthermore, the game has no longevity as there are no scenarios, no differences in main gameplay outside of basic modifiers to your match which makes it a little easier or harder to play.”
