Don’t let the Soviet Union to collapse, and the socialist system to fall in the darkness of history or lead the Soviet Union by a new path – democracy and free market! But before you decide something, think – wouldn’t it cause more harm than good?
Top!
One of them most complicated simulators I've played and the difficulty comes from a number of settings and history terms:
If you know Soviet history really well, and you are great strategist/economist - this game would be kind of easy for you.
Otherwise - if you ever thought that you could be a great president - your dreams would be shattered really quick
I was sitting there for hours trying to figure - What the hell am I doing? What do i do now?
So about the game itself
+Soundwork - 10/10 OST, personally I would be grateful for some crowd/army sounds upon some events happening, would be cool
+Visuals - from the visual point of view the game fits the Soviet theme like a glove, nothing to add here.
+Gameplay - you can start at different *ages* of Soviet history, you have a sh`tload of options and a huge amount of historical events to survive, and lead your country to a happy future OR to nuclear winter (like i did :3 ). This game is super complicated unless you know history more or less, or you are good at economic simulators. As a strategy game, this game is great. Also - a single game session does not take very much time, yet you have options to save and load.
-Not the best UI design, but since I have nothing to suggest here, it's up to you to decide.
+Steam cards - great Soviet themed badges
Here you can lead your country to the bright future or to the nuclear holocaust.
It's a good gift for your Nerd friend.
