Depopulation

This game feels like its the first game the author ever released. It suffers from many balancing issues, the game is basically ruled by the random number generator. That said I had fun playing this game (for about 7 hours) and if you're interested in the topic, buy it when this game is on sale.

Quite simple game, but a good one.

A fun game, and absolutely worth the price. It plays out much like Risk, geographically, but with the added layers of population, polution, and happiness. Plays fast. The hard part is reaching a critical mass of income/troops/happiness to where you can take on other burgeoning empires. Then? The killin' starts.

"Na planetě je příliš mnoho lidí. Téměř všichni ničí a znečišťují, přímo nebo nepřímo. Budoucnost není vůbec růžová. Jediná cesta jak se vypořádat s tímto problémem, je zabít miliardy lidí, aby lidstvo mohlo začít opět žít udržitelně. Můj problém je, že nedokážu zabít ani jednoho člověka, ne ještě miliardy. Potřebuji psychopata. Proto najímat tebe." říká v prologu bezejmenný miliardář, a vy v jeho službách se pouštíte do záchrany světa. Máte dvě možnosti jak zastavit znečišťování, které má za následek totální zničení životního prostředí: vyhubit většinu lidstva, nebo vojensky obsadit 80% zemí světa (kde následně - ale už jakože mimo hry - zavedete totální ekologickou diktaturu). Pozemní vojsko, politická propaganda, atomové bomby, politika jednoho dítěte, potraty, eugenika, povinná recyklace, brutální zdražení potravin, armáda smrtících dronů, ale i vysazení bilionu stromů, proměnění pouští na lesy, ozelenění měst, to jsou všechno vaše možnosti jak udělat svět krásnějším. Na této jednoduché hře mi vadilo, že každá země má přibližně stejný počet obyvatel a stejné vojsko, takže s nějakým taktickým dobíjením světa vůbec nepočítejte. Čína má stejný počet obyvatel jako Tuvalu, a armádou státu Nauru dobijete Rusko, USA a celý svět. Svět jsem zachránil dvakrát a potom jsem hru odinstaloval.

a confusing mess of game that does nothing and goes nowhere

[h1]boring, bland, unintuitive[/h1] The only good thing about this "game" is the awesome music, but that's only because Aweswan didn't make it themselves (the very first track is by TSFH). The camera control sucks. It scrolls [u]suuuuper slow[/u]... ... also, the map isn't a globe. That means the US is on the far left end and Japan on the far right end. If you wanna try to recreate WW2 and nuke Japan, you don't just cross the Pacific - you have to scroll aaaaall the way over there over the Atlantic, Europe, and Asia [u]in slomo[/u]. I swear, the stupid plane carrying the Hiroshima bomb arrived faster in Japan than my mouse cursor did... Rest of the controls suck, too: The "game" has no shortcut keys, you have to do [b]fu[b][/b]cking everything[/b] with the mouse. Graphics suck: The map is most probably from Google Images and there are no animations worth a damn. The attacks are "animated" with a few colored lines and the simplest of explosion gifs; but none of the catastrophes are animated... I mean, how cool (and easy to animate) would it have been to see an asteroid crash into the simplistic map? Speaking of the simplistic map: The game looks just plain boring. The sun's reflection in the ocean is the only good thing I remember about this lazy graphics. Wonder where Aweswan stole that from?... It's definitely [b]not[/b] their own work. The "game" has a bajillion of cringeworthy typos. It would be somewhat forgivable, if the devs from Aweswan had another language than English, but since the devs apparently [b]and fortunately[/b] no longer exist I couldn't find that out, so let's leave it with "learn to spell, you swanheads". Also, its mechanics make no sense. US and Russia start with no nukes? But the country I choose to start in has always 4 nukes, even if I start as Czechia, Congo, or Bhutan? And a few in-game years later literally [u]everyone[/u] has nukes, even Tibetian monks!... Ridiculous. Imagine being afraid of nuking Liechtenstein or Andorra, because they might send some nukes back at you... -,- Also, while playing the game told me that Austria lost 120 million civilians. Last time I checked it had only about 9 million, though!?! And that RL number included civilians [b]and[/b] military personell. Also, in my very first game Spain got immediately in turn 1 invaded and taken over by Andorra which evidently in the real world has no armed forces [b]and[/b] is under Spain's protection... All that stupid stuff would've been okay, if it had been about some no-name fantasy countries in a fantasy world. Was it really that hard to come up with a fantasy world instead of this unrealistic immersion-breaking BS?...

I think the goal of the game - to show that we have to live in harmony with the environment - is a noble one. I also thing this this game falls far short of that. Your goal is to take over the world before pollution reaches certain limits. These limits appear to be arbitrary. On easy mode this game quickly turns into little more than a clicker. The interface is also very bad. Trying to find the few tiny countries you haven't taken over is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The 'happiness' requirements also don't really make much sense.
