Critical Acclaim

* “Through a combination of a choose-your-own-adventure-style visual novel and a Paradox-esque game, you have to pull the young republic out of a terrible recession while dealing with entrenched, corrupt political factions and a looming border conflict.” - PC Gamer

* “The press will lie. Parliament will ask you to sign bills with misleading titles. The people will inspire a song called "My Electorate Are Stupid Pigs". Your principles may be your strongest weapon or your downfall. This is politics. This is Suzerain.” - Rock Paper Shotgun

* “The nuanced dilemmas it presents, set against a detailed and convincing backdrop of mid-20th century history in a fictional world, make it one of the most fascinating political strategy games of the past several years.” - VICE

Ratings and reviews

An absolute brilliant gem of a game! I'm a Gen X with decades of love for both RPGs and Simulators and this is one of the greatest that I've got in Google Play store, easily. Very rich dialogue, full of personal choices that affect your game play in profound ways... I lost a day playing it, for two totally different endings with all kinds of surprises, each time. (I really needed the break too, thanks, heh)

Fantastic game, very thought out and detailed. My only complaint is the game ends after 1 term even after winning the 2nd election, a lot of choices are very limited and with the frequency of events that's not a lot of time. Starting out with such powerful presidential powers but the game doesn't let you utilize them. You can not make or push policies on a whim nor enact or address certain ones that don't line up with what you are doing. Has a lot of potential and look forward to future updates

I really like the idea of this game, but I wish it would pick up the pace of the text a little more. If you don't have a peaceful 10 minutes for one interaction, you won't be able to progress. OR god forbid you grow impatient and try to tap the screen to progress quickly, you'll wind up tapping on some ridiculous prompt because you're able to select an option before it's fully visible. I think for that reason alone, there should be an immediate undo button. OR fix the interface but thats harder.
