### 5/5 — Awesome sauce

*2026-02-18, version 0.966*

This made me laugh really hard it was awesome

### 5/5 — Not the low-effort turdpost I was expecting.

*2025-07-25, version 0.966*

Underneath the ultra-realistic depiction of North Korea’s glorious leader in action is a good game, fleshed out with decent mechanics and an addictive-enough gameplay loop. Non-believers may consider this game to be thematically absurd, yet there is a solid game here for everybody.

Update: just noticed the names of the rocket launchers. I love this game.

Another update: this game gets funnier as I play it. What a gem. It’s not just NK, everyone gets it.

### 5/5 — I don't know what the title is.

*2024-11-08, version 0.966*

挺不错的，消磨时间蛮合适的而且里面的漫画画的好好看啊！！有意思！
It's good, it's appropriate to kill time, and the cartoons in it are so beautiful! ! Interesting!❤️❤️

### 5/5 — EPIC

*2023-01-20, version 0.966*

I don’t care who made this and I don’t care for what reason they made it…it’s extremely entertaining. As an introverted and socially disabled individual with absolutely no life whatsoever I have only one problem with this game, and that would be ⚡️THE ENERGY⚡️required to play levels. 
I get that you want it to be a free to play game, but you got to work with people like me here! I’d pay…say, $2.99 to have unlimited energy…$9.99 maximum. Does that sound fair?

### 5/5 — 조선민주주의인민공화국에 영광

*2022-02-23, version 0.966*

놀라운 게임과 위대한 지식

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2020-04-22, version 0.966*

I love this game

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2020-04-16, version 0.966*

It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played make another one plz

### 5/5 — A work of art

*2020-01-25, version 0.966*

A beautiful game, would like quests to be implemented to get energy more frequently, but every aspect of the game is perfect, especially the thought and humor that went into the game.

### 1/5 — Best Korea (not this one)

*2020-01-23, version 0.966*

The game itself has appalling graphics (looks like wii sports, even tho I love wii sports) and controls and does not simulate the Best Korea (North) at all! Not only are the first villains you fight low poly angry birds but they make fun of Dear leader Kim Jong Un! With the appearance of the South Korea Flag (Ughhh) on occasions this game is not recommended for any fans of BTS, Communism, anime, angry birds, The Dear Leader, B grade Japanese horror films or if you are from Best Korea itself. Wouldn’t recommend this game ever.

### 5/5 — Rate

*2019-08-01, version 0.966*

Spread the word good game making my fantasy of Lil Kim epic adventure come true thx for making this game
