"Tap, troll, and watch the world burn." Troll Farm is a political satire idle game in which you begin by posting your political messages to a not-at-all-based-on-real-life site called Squalk and escalate until, well, you'll have to find out. - Build your internet troll empire - hire angry teenagers, viral content consultants, and more - Buy upgrades that make your angry teenagers even more effective at irritating people on the internet - Politicians might get involved, who knows? - Hey, maybe you'll end up in the news! There's no such thing as bad press, right? Important stuff: - The game is completely free. There are optional in-app purchases that speed things up, though. - Note that unlike other idle games, this game does not have an 'infinite' mode that you can play forever and/or reset with additional bonuses. And unlike many idle games, this game is telling a story that has a beginning, middle, and end. - That being said, if enough people support the game via in-app purchases, the current mode will become Story Mode and an Infinite Mode will be added (The current IAP options *will* carry over between modes if new modes are added.)

Take the throne and begin your pontificate in Conclave, a fictional swipe-based strategy game where every decision can change the course of your reign. Each card presents a dilemma. Swipe left or right to choose your response, then live with the consequences. Keep four forces in balance — the Faithful, the Curia, the Treasury and Tradition. Let any one of them fall too low or rise too high, and your reign may come to an abrupt end. But not every consequence arrives immediately. Decisions can unlock story chains that return years later, forcing you to face the results of choices you thought were long behind you. FEATURES • Simple swipe decisions with strategic consequences • Four competing meters to balance • Hidden effects that keep every choice uncertain • Story chains shaped by earlier decisions • Multiple endings, including legacy endings for long reigns • Codex with discovered endings, lifetime statistics and unlockable characters • Daily Conclave: a shared seeded challenge with the same setup for everyone that day • Counsel to reveal a card’s exact effects • One second chance per regular reign • Share your final reign and challenge others • Sound, haptics and atmospheric presentation • English interface options How will history remember your pontificate — as a reformer, a traditionalist, a survivor, or something else entirely? Your reign begins with a single swipe.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Conclave at 5.0 against Troll Farm's 4.5. Conclave also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). Troll Farm's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
