The game's stability is widely criticized, with many users reporting frequent and severe bugs that can hinder gameplay, including game-breaking issues and freezes. While some players have not experienced significant problems, the overall consensus is that the game is plagued by persistent glitches, leading to frustration and a lack of confidence in the developers' commitment to fixing these issues.
- “The game is buggy to the point you can't finish a game without running into something game breaking.”
- “Furthermore, the game is still incredibly buggy - Eversim opted to release new editions of the game rather than seriously fix old ones, with each new installment being more messed up than the last.”
- “Bugged like crazy, just filled with them... soon you start winning and taking over countries or become an economic powerhouse or anything that makes you winning you get a huge amount of bugs and freezes.”

Gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the depth of mechanics and the smooth performance on high-end PCs. However, the interface and feedback system could use improvements, and the tutorial is criticized for being insufficient in teaching new players how to navigate the game effectively. Overall, the game offers engaging and unique interactions, particularly in strategic troop mobilization.
- “Sure, the interface could use a touch-up and the feedback system can be more accurate, but all in all, it works great for a full gameplay experience.”
- “I have a brand new gaming PC that runs this game like a charm - it can get through a term (4-5 years) of gameplay in an hour, rarely crashes, and handles reasonably smoothly.”
- “I was worried this game would be a waste of $20; thankfully, it was not. There are so many mechanics at work here. For example, I was just curious what would happen if I mobilized my troops along the border of another country, and I was rather impressed with the outcome. As soon as I got my troops there, the country next to me expressed their concerns about my intentions, and they ordered their troops to prepare for a quick response to my invasion force.”
- “Locking you out of the entire game mechanic regardless if you replaced them.”

For example, I was just curious what would happen if I mobilized my troops along the border of another country, and I was rather impressed with what happened. I have not seen anything like this in a game. As soon as I got my troops there, the country that I had my troops next to said they were worried that I was going to do something to them, and as soon as they sent that, they ordered their troops next to my border to have a quick response to my invasion force.”

The graphics of the game have been criticized for being choppy and not visually impressive, with a cheap user interface that detracts from the overall experience. While some players find humor in the quirky presentation of advisors and leaders, the visuals are generally considered a weak point, overshadowing the depth of the gameplay. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a complex simulation that can be enjoyable once players acclimate to its challenges.
- “The graphics are not the greatest, but it's not a shooter.”
- “The graphics are not great and at first it is kind of challenging and hard to get used to.”
- “There's actually quite a comprehensive and well thought-out simulation of running a modern state lurking under the poor graphics, cheap UI, uneven difficulty, and mountains of stats.”

The game's humor is derived from the quirky and odd dialogue of advisors and leaders, which some players found amusing despite the overall challenges of gameplay. While the humor adds a lighthearted touch, it contrasts with the game's difficulty in managing finances and popularity.
- “The advisors and leaders speaking to you sounded so weird that it became humorous, which I really liked.”
