Suzerain

Жизнь и страдания терпилы Антона в эпоху экономического пролапса республики Сордленд A Morgna wes core, Vectern sis da! Я прошёл куколдскую войну. И я желаю всем мужчинам пройти её.

不可否认Suzerain的叙事还是非常好的，但作为一个选择驱动的游戏，它设置的各种变量和判定太少和太僵硬，一方面复杂的政治问题会被简化，让人物精神分裂，另一方面被过分高估的嘴炮让一些极其严重的问题只靠几句话就能消弭于无形，这是非常令人出戏的。 而且，还有各种bug没有修复，我已经碰到过同时处于生和死的奥索·霍克以及同时处于没问题、被清查和已完蛋三个状态的马塞尔·科龙蒂，我非常质疑Suzerain开发组里面的程序员的工资都开到了哪里，以至于在一个显然并不复杂的程序设计里重复犯低级失误。

게임을 시작하면 중간에 멈출 수가 없다. 몰입도가 좋다. BGM도 어울린다. 한글화가 된다면 더욱 좋겠다. 국민을 위한 정치를 하려고 했다. 쿠데타당했다. 북괴니스탄 스타일로 했다. 가택연금당했다. 그냥 사리사욕만 채웠다. 재선에 성공했다.

I would give this game a positive review, if only I had not spent 40 hours only to fail. Yes, I spent 40 hours trying to make sure I did everything right. Every small mistep is a big consequence on the late game, so make sure you open up ChatGPT or any other AI to ask questions about what you want to achieve as well as the consequences of your action. In the end, my Centrist Reformist path was successful but at the cost of my time (I spend a whole day) and sanity of going back a couple of turns to fix my mistep.

I wish everyone would play this game at least once to understand the nuances of political choices and strategy.

这个游戏的文本量极大，目前只有民间汉化（质量不错），如果有官中就更好了。这是我玩过的对政治探讨最为真实的作品之一，能够在《极乐迪斯科》之后再见到《Suzerain》这么优秀的游戏，让人眼前一亮。 拥有古老历史的索德兰，一个在内战废墟中获得新生的国家，在社会主义和资本主义超级大国联盟的冷战中斡旋，经济百废待兴的同时还要着手面对分裂势力和民族问题。觉得眼熟？可惜索德兰没有现实中东大的实力，作为一个最多只能算区域性强国的国家，它对玩家的政治决策有着很严苛的挑战。 [spoiler]前世我是全世界最可笑的中间派，这一次我要把失去的都拿回来！[/spoiler]

увы нету русской локализации..

By far one of the best political sims I have ever played and is definetly one of my all time favourite games now, but I have to say that Suzerain can still be better, the potential is great. While the game calls itself a visual novel, the main visual aspect is the environment and character images, the actual discussions that take place are pure text, which I have a gripe with. I wish that the discussions were illustrated (from the perspective of the player character since you are allowed to customize your appearance and to keep it consistent) so that the game is more of a "visual novel" instead of being purely a "novel" like it is now. Secondly, I wish the game had an internal clock to track the ingame time so you can actually tell when everything is happening for a small amount of more immersion, as all the disscussions ingame can be from hours to weeks apart thus making it quite hard to tell. The last thing I wish is that the ending sequence was extented were you to stay in power through whatever means instead of it being exactly the same as the prologue with no interesting interactions. Besides that, I think everything is great about the game, sure some dialogue cues aren't obvious and some well hidden meaning you have to search up specific things you wish to do, but I'm honestly fine with it, politics aren't exactly obvious anyways. A great game overall, definetly worth getting if you're into political simulators.
