The best online political game you can play!
fun game, gop wins yuge all the time.
Battle for the Hill is probably one of the few political "MMOs" out there that has enough to keep you interested. You can propose legislation (If you're into roleplay), run in elections and try to beat your opponents (if you like PvP more), write news articles, or make your own business. The devs are very active, and "reset" the game and create new rules for each new iteration. During the iteration I'm writing the review for, there are three parties (Democrats, Republicans, and Independents). Not only this, but Canada has been added to the United States and made into a North American Federation. And remember, democrats drool and republicans rule.

Upon firing up the game it requested my personal information, ok fair, then it there are ads that cover the game you have to click away. lame. then you click on the link to the tutorial in game and my antivirus flagged it and my computer was grind to a halt (its a high end custom built only 2 years old) before i alt f4 my way to safety, this is a scam with viruses.
Great Game! The community managers are on top of any funny business aswell. Great group of like minded members who enjoy politics. Would recommend.
I have played battle for the hill for quite some time now and it is with a doubt the best Political Sim that exists. The rest are larpy discord sims or single player sims that get boring after a while. However, the Wonder Developer Chavez has continued to make the game greater. By adding Canada expanding parties and of course Moderating the content on the platform to promote free speech and yet moderate the content. What i most enjoy about battle for the hill is the iteration resets that allow for parties to be added or created and new coalitions to form that allow the game to be ever changing. The Game is one of the most enjoyable i have played with many real-world buffs and debuffs such as controversy for not voting midterm debuffs incumbent buffs. All of this force the parties to play their best and overall, it's a great game and would recommend to everyone. (i do recommend playing on the browser over Steam)
