Evil Democracy: 1932 is an ambitious indie political strategy and simulation game developed and published by Hamsters Gaming that places the player at the heart of a fragile democratic system on the brink of collapse. Set in the tense years between 1932 and 1935, the game allows players to step into the role of a political party leader in Germany, France, or England, each facing social unrest, economic instability, and ideological polarization. Rather than focusing on military conflict, the game zeroes in on the mechanics of power before war begins, challenging players to win elections, consolidate influence, and reshape the political future of their chosen nation through both legitimate and morally questionable means. The core experience revolves around managing influence across dozens of regions, balancing resources, and competing against rival parties in a constantly shifting political landscape. Players must decide how to spend limited funds and political capital, choosing between traditional democratic tools such as campaigning, newspapers, and rallies, or more manipulative actions like bribery, propaganda, and election interference. This tension between ethical governance and ruthless efficiency defines much of the game’s identity, as success often requires embracing tactics that undermine the very democratic ideals the system claims to uphold. The game does not shy away from portraying democracy as vulnerable, instead presenting it as a system that can be bent or broken through calculated pressure. A major strength of Evil Democracy: 1932 lies in its breadth of political options. With dozens of playable parties and a wide array of doctrines that shape ideology and strategy, the game encourages experimentation and replayability. Each doctrine modifies how a party operates, influencing public opinion, resource flow, and regional control in subtle but meaningful ways. Choosing a party and doctrine combination can dramatically change the feel of a campaign, pushing players toward populism, authoritarianism, or more conventional democratic approaches. This flexibility allows for a wide range of alternate-history scenarios, where familiar nations can take radically different paths depending on player choices. Strategic depth emerges from the interconnected systems governing media influence, voter sentiment, and regional control. Printing newspapers, organizing demonstrations, hiring deputies, and securing sponsors all interact in complex ways, forcing players to think several steps ahead. Influence gained in one region can ripple outward, affecting neighboring areas and altering the balance of power nationwide. At its best, the game rewards careful planning and long-term thinking, as small advantages accumulate into decisive electoral victories. However, this complexity can sometimes feel uneven, as certain strategies — particularly those centered on financial backing and sponsors — tend to overshadow more nuanced ideological play, leading to optimal paths that can feel repetitive over extended campaigns. Presentation and interface design are functional but clearly constrained by indie production values. The user interface delivers large amounts of data, but not always in the most intuitive way, requiring players to spend time deciphering tooltips and statistics before fully understanding the consequences of their actions. While this learning curve adds to the sense of depth for dedicated strategy fans, it can also be a barrier for newcomers, especially given the historical and political complexity of the setting. Visuals are utilitarian rather than immersive, serving primarily as a framework for the underlying systems rather than as a source of atmosphere or narrative storytelling. Despite its rough edges, the game succeeds in carving out a distinct niche. Its focus on pre-war political maneuvering, elections, and ideological struggle sets it apart from more traditional grand strategy titles that emphasize warfare and empire-building. The moral ambiguity embedded in its mechanics invites players to reflect on how democracies can be exploited, raising uncomfortable but compelling questions about power, influence, and legitimacy. This thematic focus gives the game a weight that lingers beyond individual playthroughs, especially for players interested in political history or alternate historical outcomes. Overall, Evil Democracy: 1932 is a thought-provoking and content-rich strategy game that rewards patience, experimentation, and a tolerance for complexity. While it may lack the polish and balance of larger studio productions, its ambition and unique subject matter make it a standout for players who enjoy political simulations and systemic strategy. It is a game that challenges players not only to win elections, but to consider the cost of victory in a system where democracy itself can become a weapon, offering a compelling and often unsettling strategic experience for those willing to engage deeply with its ideas.
