  • Not Bad

    I like the gameplay and it gets challenging at times, but there are a lot of ads. Every time you open the app, it asks you to buy the membership package (something like that) and when you press the X it takes you to an ad. I haven’t seen that many people have this problem, but it happens to me pretty much EVERY TIME I open the app. Lots people say that there are too many ads, but I find when you click on an ad while it’s playing it gives you a skip option in the top left corner. (NOTE: this sometimes backfires and you get sent to the App Store) Sometimes the app makes you watch ads for no reasons (well, to us. We all know that’s one of their main revenue sources.) Usually though I only watch ads if I want to get extra money or crosses. I rate this app 5 stars because I enjoy playing it and it’s pretty fun.

  • Improving

    When I first downloaded this app, glitches were everywhere and an ad popped up every TEN seconds. Luckily, as more updates came out the glitches were slowly fixed and the ads became optional to get in game money. The app shoves the gold membership in your face every time you play and after a while things get repetitive and the scenarios don’t really appear often. This game is slowly getting better so for that reason I gave it 3 stars. Hopefully more scenarios are added and maybe special decisions that if you say yes to, the give you in game money. That might spice things up.

  • Shadow of what it once was

    This game is similar to the Dictator: outbreak game by the same devs (I think) which has been removed from the app store since. This and the previously mentioned Outbreak are identical in pretty much every aspect except for that there are too many advertisements. There is an advertisement probably around every three to five turns, and since each turn takes about ten to thirty seconds, this gets frustrating fast. The advertisements can be removed by buying a subscription, but it is either $8/week or $99/years, which is absurd. Another thing worth noting is that everything changed from Outbreak was apparently just to increase profits.

  • Review

    This game is great, I really like it, it reminded me of the game reigns but it definitely has some differences. If I were to change one thing about the game I would make it so that you could see the progress of your achievements, so I knew how much further I was to completing them.

    But that doesn’t change my view of the game because it’s so good!

  • There's potential here

    This looks like a great game, but I can't play it. The decisions rarely make sense, and the app is full of adverts: e.g. You must watch an ad every 3 or 4 turns, uncaring if you chose to watch one between them; you are constantly bombarded with ads to get you to 'buy Diamond Membership', the ads repeat. A lot. And one ad froze the game entirely.

    Disappointed. This has potential. LOTS of potential

  • Dont Bother Downloading

    This game is a total joke. I understand that this is a free game however the amount of adverts is insane. Literally after every turn you are bombarded with 30 second ads and constant adverts for ‘premium no ads’. I know a free game needs ads to generate money and keep it running however this is pushing it too far, it totally ruins the immersion and experience as you are constantly sat there waiting for the 30 second ads to end

  • Bloated with Ads

    The premise of this game is pretty cool. It’s somewhat like Tropico except that you don’t have to build your nation, mine your resources, and do all the extra work. You can really get into it, that is until...

    You realize the entire game is based around ads! Every other turn forces a 30+ second ad for another dumb game. To make matters worse, your first time off you start with a lot more in your treasury and you earn a lot more faster. But after your first go, good luck making it past 20 turns without burning up your treasury and forcing a revolution. The game throws a green paper airplane at you when you start to run out of funds, which opens of course another ad! It may buy you an extra turn or two, but you’ll still lose too much money too fast.

    Oh yeah, and you can improve ratings with different factions by - you guessed it - watching another ad.

  • Great game! But be warned!

    Just turn off wifi for no ads, and don’t download the sequel of the game, trust me, read The reviews.
  • Hope it’s good

    Getting a new game help it’s a good one
  • Love the game but...

    I love this game and what it has to offer but the ideas of a group making to much money from you ends game because of a riot, if anything they would join you in dictating. Can you also add more game modes like money rush or low supplies or even hard and easy mode.
