If there was a "Maybe" option for recommendations, I would press that button for this game.

The UI is really weird, reminds me of like the early 2000s or something. It kind of makes it a chore to play the game. Nearly everything is clicking, which means that if you're used to hotkeys, this game will be wonky for you.

On the surface it looks decent, but I feel that it lacks true substance. I feel that the policies I make don't really affect any lives, I don't feel truly invested in the leading of my country. Nevertheless, the very ability to set national policies is a big plus that I just don't see in more popular, shinier-looking city-building sims. Hopefully the developer will expand upon this aspect later.

Multiple towns and the central city connected through resource sharing and net gains/deficits is a fun and interesting challenge that adds a layer of strategic thinking to an otherwise unimpressive-looking game, which means that this game is more complex than meets the eye.

I'm currently under the assumption that one (1!) person developed this game. If this is the case, then he did a good job for being completely alone.

Ultimately, since there is no "Maybe" recommendation, I might as well put "Yes." It's a rough-looking game with a clunky UI, but it was made by one guy. Good on him for making a game that's quickly eating up my time.

TLDR: It's a game made by one guy, and it's fun, but looks dated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, the game slows down severely when a given city starts climbing above like 30,000-ish. It happened to me, at least.

Another edit: As I play the game more and more, I feel that the cities start to look... blah. Like, there's no unique buildings or monuments, and you can't click on the ploppable ones (like the Police HQ, the Fire Dept., etc.). Another thing that brings the game down a bit from a Yes to a Maybe for the recommendations.
