The gameplay is perceived as shallow, with mechanics that lack synergy and a repetitive optimal strategy that diminishes player interaction. While it offers an enjoyable light strategy experience, there is a need for clearer explanations of features and a more substantial role for government mechanics. Players appreciate the early access format for showcasing the core ideas but desire deeper engagement and variety across different scenarios.
“An enjoyable light strategy game, which needs a bit of work explaining all the features and mechanics (e.g. I played a few games to completion and still can't fully understand what the 'dictatorship' stat actually does).”
“What I like about early access is that it allows you to see the very idea of the game and the main mechanics without unnecessary information noise.”
“I will definitely try playing for different countries and regions to see if the gameplay is the same or different too.”
“It's far too shallow in its systems; none of the mechanics really work well together, and each scenario has the same optimal strategy, which takes little actual interaction with the game.”
“An enjoyable light strategy game, but it needs a bit of work explaining all the features and mechanics. For example, I played a few games to completion and still can't fully understand what the 'dictatorship' stat actually does.”
“And add mechanics to the government section - right now their role in the game is minimal.”
