In principle and execution, the game is simple, elegant and competent. But it isn't for me. 1) I expected to spend my playtime thinking about the right strategic moves to make. Instead I spend my playtime frantically navigating the claustrophic menues in always-belated attempts to find critical information or pull the levers that need pulling. Most egregiously, the player is practically obliged in any war to continuously spam the conscription button. There is no option to recruit automatically (say, up to a fixed number, or to match the enemy's numbers). I wanted to fight the AI, not the UX. And on top of that, critical information is nestled away in menues (country relationships) or just plain not visible at all other than from guesswork (enemy technology levels). 2) The game is, very bluntly, too fast-paced for me. I expected to spend my playtime thinking about the right strategic moves to make, but by the time I get a picture of what's going on, the situation has already changed. I know, skill issue, but it is what it is. And that's it. In itself the game is pretty good, as far as I can tell, but if you're like me then I wouldn't recommend it to you.

Dev created a requested feature same day. Doesn't get more responsive than that. He's also a really cool guy.

This one takes about an hour to actually figure out what's happening and what is going on. Once you start to figure out how everything fits together, how you can take advantage of certain situations and when to not get involved, the game is quite devilish in its simplicity. I highly recommend this one, the developer has really taken the dictum Keep-it-simple-stupid and crafted a unique experience with this game. All I can say is that for the amount of fun you can have with this one, the price is beyond right. There's only one thing missing- Gee I wish we had one of them Doomsday machines.

Bought it on sale for $2.50. Even for 5, this game is a such a gem for the money! Just buy it! You'll sink hours into it before you know it.

i LOVE this game, it really scratches that itch of a cold war gone hot RTS with an actual population mechanic, few games make wars actually hurt you in the long term and i LOVE this game because of it!

Simple, satisfying, difficult, immersive, really can't think of anything I'd don't like about it. Buy this game, give this guy your money, so he makes more games. Trust me.

Very Fun!!! YAYYYYY!

This is a very fun game and it is amazing, but I wish there was more control over ground troops similar to the air doctrine but with formations

Yo wtf why is this so good!? For five dollars?? This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ highway robbery! Hell, its so good im gonna buy it again just so a friend can also play!
