### 2/5 — Bro can we be fr?

*2025-07-23, version 1.6.1*

Didn’t even play the game yet and I get unavoidable ads…

### 2/5 — Feels a bit biased/unfair

*2025-05-19, version 1.6.1*

Firstly, Iran goated with allocating funds so no matter the ideology starting there is good, secondly libertarianism is almost impossible and possible rigged against you, the game just completely zeroed out the population for no reason after reaching a certain point

### 3/5 — Too difficult

*2025-02-14, version 1.6.1*

I cannot get past communism and the game is generally too difficult

### 2/5 — Why communism why

*2025-01-01, version 1.6.1*

I came for imperialism because it is fun but communism I have tried for months it is unbeatable

### 4/5 — Skill issue

*2024-11-29, version 1.6.1*

I haven’t played the game yet but it doesn’t seem that difficult and it looks fun so I bet people just have a ridiculous amount of skill issue

### 3/5 — Balance the reaction bar

*2024-09-15, version 1.6.1*

Can you just please balance the reaction bar I can’t do anything without having to lose every single time even with max income,propoganda,appeal I can’t win even with the anti reaction upgrades it shoots up to 70% in two seconds please balance it.

### 3/5 — Ok game

*2024-09-09, version 1.6.1*

Game was ok until I seen a news flash saying Donald Bump accidentally started a nuclear war, although funny it’s obvious propaganda to form an opinion about a certain someone. Funny coming come from a game about propaganda and ideology. Still interesting game.

### 4/5 — Good Game, but Needs More Explanation

*2024-07-12, version 1.6.1*

I enjoy this game and have even gotten to Ecology, which is no small feat. Only by looking online have I seen that each ideology has a quirk like appeal gradually decreasing or being an easily appealing trait. Now by the time you get to Eco on Hard, the reaction shoots up SO fast and the community and propaganda doesn’t spread as fast. The tools given to slow down don’t seem to work at all and everything cost a lot to get. I have gotten pretty close by spreading it fast and upping appeal but the reaction goes so quick and it seems the things you can do to lessen the appeal grows it and even the appeal elements cause it to rise because they are so extreme. I hope this is something that can be adjusted because it was a LOT easier to spread imperialism which I don’t think realistically makes sense. I do enjoy this game but even more information would be useful and perhaps a hint option. Thanks for creating! This is very educational.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2024-01-23, version 1.6.0*

I’ve completed capitalism on hardcore and it was quite fun but now I’ve been stuck on communism for hours and I can’t even control one country before everything drops like crazy and it’s impossible there’s not enough money and to large of a population growth

### 1/5 — Reaction time and the slow money gain

*2024-01-12, version 1.6.0*

Combine the fast reaction time this slow money game and the fact you loose the perks you don’t do anything in the game

### 2/5 — Ads

*2023-11-12, version 1.6.0*

Too many

### 1/5 — Steals your apple password

*2026-08-06, version 1.6.3*

The devs of this game try to steal your password. If you try to buy anything you get met with a confirm apple password, which doesn’t appear anywhere else mind you, and it doesn’t even work if you put it in. Thanks a lot.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-11, version 1.6.3*

There is a bug that makes you instantly lose for Libertarianism. I have no idea what causes it as I've tried everything but it always triggers. This has ruined the game and progression as i was seconds away from winning when it bugged out with a blank headline and I lost all support globally.

### 1/5 — Horrible balance

*2026-03-14, version 1.6.2*

Reaction bar rises unnecessarily fast for the hardest difficulty to the point where you can’t compete against. Either slowing it down a bit or just raising the rate in which we earn money should fix it.

### 1/5 — О важном

*2025-12-10, version 1.6.2*

Не буду врать, это возможно лучший клон плагуе инк. но, это не значит, что игра хорошая. Интерфейс хромает, сильно, геймплей - тоже, не сказать что интересный. Помимо этого, к минусам отправляется частая (не постоянная) реклама и ограничивающий донат. Может, игра и не плоха, но совокупность минусов позволяет мне поставить такую оценку.

### 1/5 — They donate to Ukraine

*2025-08-21, version 1.6.1*

Sponsor of war

### 1/5 — Not beatable want you to pay

*2025-07-27, version 1.6.1*

Impossible to beat been playing for 2 hours

### 1/5 — Just play plague inc

*2025-01-08, version 1.6.1*

This game sucks dawg, its easy af and is just overall worse version of plague inc

### 1/5 — I can’t play the game

*2024-07-31, version 1.6.1*

When I opened the game, there was a letter asking for permission than they said press continue but I couldn’t press it so pls fix this bug pls

### 1/5 — What

*2024-06-12, version 1.6.1*

Says Iceland and Greenland is Canada

### 1/5 — Too greedy!

*2024-04-27, version 1.6.1*

I don’t support developers who show ads before you even see the app! Go out of business.

*2025-12-06, version 1.6.2*

Romans 10:9 is a pivotal Bible verse stating that if you confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved

### 5/5 — Great game but room for improvements

*2025-06-05, version 1.6.1*

Maybe make the game a little slower as games are usually really fast and add some more things do do with defence such as having a strong military to make your ideology attractive and some kind of wars you can participate in

### 5/5 — Illuminating

*2025-01-09, version 1.6.1*

Pretty cool, illuminating.

### 5/5 — Please add more

*2024-07-10, version 1.6.1*

I have beat the game and I really enjoyed it. but please add more to the game. Maybe some more ideologies?

### 5/5 — Just canceling out jerks for now

*2024-01-31, version 1.6.1*

Haven’t had a chance to try this yet (I tend to DL games in bunches & lose track), but was reminded  by it having an update, and took a scroll thru the reviews. I find great amusement in reading people’s often self-righteous, absurdly entitled demands, and inflated sense of their own importance. It’s also frustrating, however, seeing those same qualities unjustly presented as the top “most helpful” review due to AppStore’s disgraceful review management system for determining such & Apple's apparently complete disinterest in upholding integrity & relevance of user ratings & reviews. 

Instead, extremely outdated and/or troll-ish rants consistently appear at the top, bc the system allows these losers to repeatedly upvote their own review. Big money major developers and big money shady knockoff factories that apple panders to aren't much affected by this; they can and routinely do buy batches from rating/review mill services, and have tens of thousands of reviews to bury the trash in.

Indie devs, however, can have ratings trashed and misrepresentation in “top” reviews as a result. To counter that, I sometimes do this. In this particular case, I just can’t believe the whining from people who start off right away on the hardest mode bc they think they’re entitled to open other content right away. Just like entitled snowflakes, when they don’t immediately win and get all they want on the first try, it’s always  the game’s fault. If they lose, it’s obviously impossible to win. A lifetime of being handed everything breeds insufferable brats.  Never created anything in their lives but feel compelled to publicly hate on anyone who does.

### 5/5 — COMMUNISIM

*2023-11-30, version 1.6.0*

COMMUNISIM🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯😈😈😈😈✅✅✅👍👍👍👍🔝🔝🔝🔝⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️🦾🦾🦾🦾👽👽👽🦖🦖🦖🦖🧌

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-11-16, version 1.6.0*

This game is so fun. It’s like a good war game but the side that wins takes over the world. Anyway I do want 1 change. MAKE ITALYS LANGUAGE ITALIAN AND NOT SPANISH

### 5/5 — Got stuck on Libertarianism

*2023-09-19, version 1.6.0*

I've managed to beat Communism on hardcore (Buy lots of community and manage your appeal and resistance. The community can go above 100% to give you even more money, and you can completely ignore propaganda.) but got stuck on Libertarian. I think there's a bug or something broken in the code. I've gotten messages such as saying my resistance is 25% when its actually at 10% and it will aggressively crash my movement from the billions to zero even if my resistance is well below my appeal. I would love for some bug fixes to be done on that front but otherwise a solid game.

Update: I figured out why Libertarianism crashes. Avoid the 100$ corporate community perk, it crashes your popularity. It might be intended behavior. Updated from 4 to 5 stars.
