About
POLITICAL ARENA is a one-of-a-kind strategy/sim sandbox about American politics.
Seek fame or infamy in a richly simulated political world, complete with high stakes legislative strategizing, backroom deals and the press. Customize and play as the politician of your dreams (or nightmares).
Tailor your politician’s appearance, personality, views, ideology, influence, skills and agenda.
Customize the partisan breakdown of congress, the president’s party and ideology, what the filibuster threshold is and just how partisan and ideological the world is. See how these settings impact outcomes and your style of play.
Make your agenda a reality by drafting bills impacting dozens of policies.
Lobby the White House to see your agenda placed front and center, even being featured in the Inauguration and State of the Union.
Work behind the scenes to secure votes for your legislation and lobby for your bills, even during a vote.
Each NPC’s agenda and personality shapes their behavior: how likely they are to break promises, remember their friends, punish their enemies.
NPCs evolve over time, cultivating alliances, grudges and reputations.

not what I was expecting.
Its hella buggy but not game breaking. So much potential! Worth it on sale.
at its current state i cannot recommend this game. it definitely has potential and ill 100% come back to this after awhile, however it does seem to have some issues... i like the art (aside from the AI art...) and i like the character creator too (however every character seems to look really feminine regardless of their gender?) the voting system was a bit buggy for me and the achievements are just not working either. it also gets a bit repetitive, which is fine and expected since its early access either way i look forward to the game getting bug fixes and new features (and removing the AI art please) because this game absolutely has the potential to be amazing <3
the game is good enough for an early version, i like it. i hope the development and updates can come faster, though. i can't wait for a month just for a few minor updates, you know? xD
Someone make a mod for your character to be embroiled in a scandal because they visited a certain carribbean island owned by a certain ex-banker
really good game sometimes the updates will make a glitch but other than that I can't wait to see what it turns into After Time. Not a big fan of the AI images. It's a really fun game and you should get it. I also really hope that they add a feature you can run for re-election or president or just other stuff like that.
W game
glitchy. bug filled. i spent 12 hours straight playing it without getting up once. not even to hit the head. 10/10
a very promising start! been looking forward to this game for a long time and its clear just how immersive you''l be able to be once more features are released
It is a promising game. A long way to go though.
