What players say

Players compare it favorably to Plague Inc. but warn about heavy RNG and repetitive play. The core challenge is balancing civilian needs against an insurgency, though reviewers disagree on fairness: some call it rewarding and replayable, others say insurgents spawn unfairly and corruption is near impossible to control.
