The gameplay of "Super Potus Trump" is heavily inspired by the Paper Mario series, featuring turn-based combat and a simplistic RPG structure that some players find engaging and humorous. However, many reviews criticize the game for its limited mechanics, slow pacing, and lack of depth, with some feeling that the gameplay does not justify its price. Overall, while it offers a fun parody experience, the gameplay is often described as repetitive and lacking in substance.
“One such game that has significantly contributed to my personal growth and well-being is 'Super Potus Trump.' While the game's premise might seem unconventional, its unique blend of gameplay, narrative, and strategic elements has made a profound difference in my life, providing not only an immersive gaming experience but also valuable lessons and unexpected benefits.”
“'Super Potus Trump' captivates players with its engaging gameplay that combines strategy, decision-making, and resource management.”
“Obviously, this game takes a lot of inspiration from Paper Mario, where it dedicates all of its gameplay to RPG-esque boss battles based on opponents towards Trump during the 2016 election.”
“My main problem is the length of the game being too long; I felt the gameplay start to drag on towards the end.”
“The gameplay is kind of fine, but the whole thing pretty much feels like propaganda.”
“I doubt there is more than 15-20 minutes worth of actual gameplay in the full version, and I don't think I could justify spending $2 on it.”

The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it genuinely funny and entertaining, particularly in its satirical take on Donald Trump and the 2016 election. While many appreciate the nostalgic Paper Mario-style and the absurdity of the content, others criticize it for lacking depth and relying heavily on reference-based humor that may not resonate with all audiences. Overall, the game elicits laughter for those who can embrace its quirky and politically charged themes.
“This game had me laughing from start to finish.”
“For a tribute to Donald Trump, this 'demo' of a game made me laugh so hard the very second I booted it up (in a very humorous way, not insulting).”
“Super POTUS Trump has great art style and humor (love the voiceovers from Trump and the 'system is rigged' difficulty setting!).”
“This game is not funny or humorous in the slightest, and that is only outweighed by the most painful gameplay I have seen in a long time.”

The game's story, centered around the 2016 presidential campaign and the rise of Trump, is criticized for being underdeveloped and overly simplistic, relying on external sources like YouTube for context rather than integrating a robust narrative within the gameplay. Players express disappointment that the focus on gameplay mechanics detracts from storytelling, leading to a lack of depth and engagement in the narrative experience. Overall, while the premise has potential, the execution leaves much to be desired, with many calling for more substantial storytelling elements akin to those found in games like Paper Mario.
“The story is basically how Trump becomes president by winning the hearts of the audience and by defeating his adversaries in a very non-subtle way.”
“Detailed storyline.”
“I can not wait for the next set of missions to come out.”
“I believe it could have been a better and more fun game as there is ample material out there that could have been added to underline the story that it tells of the 2016 presidential campaign.”
“But don't expect storytelling because the game is gameplay oriented.”
“This is a very bad move because the proper story is told by YouTube videos, an idea that I disapprove of and would have preferred some cutscenes in the style of Paper Mario.”

“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
“The coin grinding achievements are annoying though.”
“Not to mention the sheer grinding you have to do to get all the Steam achievements... overall, a good joke gift, but not really worth buying the full thing for yourself.”
“$2 for 6 battles, slow-paced turn-based fights, a ton of grinding for pointless costumes, and access to new areas of the White House that isn't actually explained as to what that part of the game contains from a gameplay standpoint.”

The monetization strategy of the game relies heavily on microtransactions for progression, which many users criticize as exploitative and reminiscent of low-quality mobile games. This approach is perceived as a cash grab, particularly targeting specific demographics, and has led to frustration among players who find the in-game purchases annoying.
“It offers one level and requires you to use microtransactions to progress in the game.”
“This works on the mobile market because the standards there are very low, and that's why the cancer that exists there is present in platforms like Steam and why microtransactions in full retail games are a thing.”
“Frustrating game and extremely annoying with in-game purchases.”
