### 5/5 — No issues

*2026-08-24, version 1.18.2*

Love the game, I used to have it and recently installed it again. I enjoy it more than plague inc. and think it is a good way to get your brain to work harder

### 2/5 — Several critical issues ruin the gaming experience

*2026-08-18, version 1.18.2*

Disappointing mobile port with several frustrating issues holding back the experience.

First off, the soundtrack feels incomplete. All five base‑game maps reuse the exact same background track. Hearing the same music non‑stop throughout long play sessions quickly gets repetitive and creates serious audio fatigue. It really ruins the unique atmosphere that each separate scenario should have.

Secondly, weekly challenges are inaccessible for players based in China. These challenges are the primary way to unlock special DLC advisors. Being locked out of them means we cannot obtain important content that greatly enriches gameplay, putting a large group of players at a disadvantage.

On top of that, the pricing for this mobile version is unreasonable. In‑app prices are completely inconsistent with those of the PC edition. I sincerely hope the development team will review and adjust mobile‑store pricing to be fairer.

This game has great potential, but these obvious problems stop me from recommending the mobile release right now.

### 1/5 — Too much tbh

*2026-08-18, version 1.18.2*

General on black caves MB is purely why I give this one star. 
I don’t care that’s that niche, I like playing the general. And of all the maps black caves is the hardest to get a win and it’s simply just rng no matter what or how well you do.

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2026-08-16, version 1.18.2*

Fulfils the tinpot dictator in me.

### 5/5 — Join the Empire!

*2026-08-15, version 1.18.2*

At first I assumed we’d be the bad guys, as in Plague Inc., and so I was pleasantly surprised to be eradicating polio. Still looking for the WMDs, though…

### 5/5 — Well Crafted

*2026-08-11*

This is the best country simulation game you will ever play. However, the brutal level is impossible to win without advisors I believe.

### 5/5 — Not gonna lie it feels like a president

*2026-08-08, version 1.18.2*

Love it 😑👌👍👍👍

### 4/5 — Offline issues

*2026-08-07, version 1.18.2*

I’ve found while playing offline that the in-game purchases are not available. I don’t have this issue with Plague inc or After inc, so I’m assuming it’s a bug. Great game, however I’m wondering if this is a known issue?

### 5/5 — Another banger

*2026-08-03, version 1.18.2*

A little tricky and no sim is perfect, but a fun job at tackling the kind of issues we as humans run into

### 5/5 — En mi opinión

*2026-08-02, version 1.18.2*

Un juego entretenido e interesante.
