Really interesting game with a surprising amount of depth. There are tons of different endings, and I really liked how the game presents different political ideas and perspectives without making everything feel one-sided. Your choices can lead to very different outcomes, which makes it pretty fun to replay. My only complaints are that there’s no Chinese localization, and the early game is honestly way too hard.

The game is fun to play once you get a hang of it. After a 6-5 year hiatus I've began to get back into this game. I like the very "indie" appearance and the challenge of the game. Would recommend. Also read some guides on the game too!

One of the best games I've ever played. It takes itself siriously and is surprisingly a very historicly educational video game. The gameplay is engaging and really sucks you in. The sheer amount of player choice to build the world you want is something I wish more video games had. You can pretty much make china, and the greater world, into whatever political system you wish (thinking realisticly of course), presuming you are play intelligently and restart the game a LOT of times. Honest ten out of ten review, I really look forward to seeing more from this game and more from Nostalgames as a whole!
