About the game
The civil war is over. To the rapturous cheers of the crowd, you and four of your companions take control of the country. The young socialist state proudly raises its flags, its eyes fixed on a distant, bright future.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, Intel HD 4000, 154 MB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
23 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, Sid Meier's Civilization VII ($69.99, scores 2) and China: Mao's legacy ($6.99, scores 80), are both worse buys on this math.
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $6.62.

What players say
Enjoyable. Nice escape from the usual capiatlism is good in 99% of games. Played through a few times. Aliens got me once, rebels a few times. Keep on eye on how quickly you develop tech. The game will spiral out of control and wipe you out. Fun though and goes quick. For a couple bucks its well worth it.

For myself, who was never play such a game like this it is actually a surprise to me. But of course because i'm kinda understand about politics so i can get a well with it. This kind of gameplay is actually kinda hard but if you have learned the pattern you'll get used and of course, there are multiple ending too in this game. There are 4 party Endings which is you can get when you reach level 6 of your key...
Socialism is when the government does stuffs. And if there's more socialism, the more stuffs it does. And if it does a real lot of stuffs, it's communism. -Karl Marx, probably
