This is a good game? I think? I really like the Shanghai Uprising scenario, I've played through it a few times now with the different factions, and since it's isolated to one city it's within the scope that I can understand it. However, whenever I've tried to venture beyond that, (I tried the Tibet scenario, since I thought that since it's focused on just a few provinces it would be more manageable, and the Wang Jingwei scenario, since it's literally just two people) I've been baffled by the complexity and, unfortunately, rather obtuse mechanics. I'm sure I'll get the hang of them eventually though. I'd certainly advise you to try it if you like strategy games, but only if you're prepared for a very steep learning curve for a while!

I initially bounced off the game and couldn't figure out how to play. The Shanxi tutorial stage was really helpful in finally figuring things out. ANyway, an excellent and fun game that captures the struggle of trying to control and govern just a single province in the warlord era, let alone try to reunite the whole country..

Rise of the White Sun differentiates itself from other grand strategy games by embracing it's historical era fully. Every character and army has a level of loyalty to you, even if it is not your character or army. Every social class in every town also has a statistic determining how much they like you. Resources are scarce, and oftentimes armies don't even have enough rifles for their own men, much less artillery guns and machine guns. Other warlords serve themselves solely, which can be used to get them to desert to your side. This also applies to your allied warlords, who may betray you if you're doing poorly, or sustain themselves by looting your towns if you're doing well. This creates a ruthlessly pragmatic gameplay style that is unlike any game I've ever played. However it is not without downsides. The controls and mechanics are fairly unintuitive but more importantly confusing, which can largely be contributed to the lackluster tutorial that does a very poor job of actually explaining the fairly complex game(I'd recommend joining the Discord for advice). Despite this it is packed with content, there are plenty of factions to choose from and many have completely unique mechanics and playstyles. Making the game very replayable, and overall I'd recommend it to fans of grand strategy games or people interested in the Warlord Era.

This is an incredibly well-researched game that immerses you in the (quite stressful) world of warlord-era China, as the communists and the nationalists are beginning to rise and attempt to resist foreign intervention in the country while also trying to unify China under their respective governments. It also includes Tibetan spiritualists, various rebel groups, mystics, White and Red Russian expats, Mongolian steppe raiders, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen himself. It is lovingly crafted, but clearly made by a tiny team - I think it's mostly the work of one person. The UI has issues, the English sometimes feels awkward, the tutorials are lackluster, and online documentation for the game is minimal (although there is a bibliography, which is awesome). The gameplay loop itself is in my opinion VERY fun, but I have seen that it is divisive. I genuinely think a lot of the negativity people feel towards it comes from them not accepting the game for what it is - you're at war with almost everyone almost all the time because it's a free-for-all scramble for the country, you make decisions by ordering your generals to do things but the generals might not obey if you haven't paid attention to their needs, and by extension the soldiers may disobey their generals even if the generals obey you. Because of these factors and more, it can feel very frustrating to play the game and wonder, "Why is the game fighting me?" But I think that's part of the fun. Save often when you're still new, and over time you'll learn how to manage the various personalities and material conditions required to achieve your goals. Anyway, 同胞们,中华人民共和国中央人民政府今天成立了! 中国人民站起来了!
