The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, encouraging players to persevere despite challenges. Set in Africa, players lead a country through various missions of differing difficulty, with a fixed number of moves allowed per mission, adding a strategic layer to the narrative. However, some missions are perceived as less engaging, particularly the easier ones.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “The game is set in Africa, and you lead a different country in the missions, which differ in their difficulty.”
- “Also, you have a fixed time for every mission, e.g., 13 turns, which means you can only make 13 different moves with one army.”
- “The game is set in Africa and you lead a different country in the missions, which differ in their difficulty. I think that the easiest mission is the most ridiculous mission.”

The monetization aspect of the game has drawn criticism due to the presence of in-game advertising, which some players find frustrating, especially when it directs them to external websites for other games. This has led to feelings of dissatisfaction, as players feel they paid for a full game experience but are instead encountering ads reminiscent of mobile or browser games.
- “One thing that concerns me is the fact that after doing an awesome job on one playthrough, I was presented with an advertisement for another game by the same company on a website that is foreign to the Steam network.”
- “This is really upsetting because at this point it felt like I paid five dollars for what could have been a phone app or a browser game that, even though I’ve paid fair and square for the game, is presenting in-game advertising directing to a website off the Steam network for more cheap-looking games.”
- “It has in-game advertising.”
