How it feels

A tense, politically strategic experience where you manage a Cold War-era Soviet Union making consequential choices in a turn-based simulation.

What players say

Players describe a punishing turn-based political simulator that demands reading and leaves you guessing the consequences of your choices. The UI is widely criticized as terrible, and the game is known for coups and republics breaking away. Sentiment is mixed on its political slant, with some calling it propaganda.
