the fact this game is only 8.99 is crazy, it is also way more polished compared to citk and Ostalgie which is why i have spent over 90 hours on this game compared to 14 hours on Ostalgie and 14 on citk. yes the english translation is not great and yes there is a learning curve but compared to citk and ostalgie it is not super hard to master.

Basically the best game by this studio. This game is much less cryptic, you see the effects of increasing/decreasing budget (Unlike in crisis in the kremlin where you just had to guess), the UI is much better, and I love the new real time mechanics instead of just pressing on a book to progress the game. The game is also less punishing and less frustrating than other games, I had quite a good ending in my first game. You would probably not get to be a mighty superpower in your first run and miss a lot of possible outcomes, but you won't collapse horribly if you try and play historically. Overall, really fun and definitely buy this if you liked their other games!

The only thing I understand about this game is that the only way to save china is to make some numbers go up and make the other numbers go down
