Got this off of Amazon in 2012. Then got it on Steam. The game starts out with a great opening cut scene and than you start the game. Wonderful map, tons of information, lots of choices. In fact, maybe too realistic, as everything you do, from minor adjustments to the budget to major dealing with other nations can have both short-term, and long term results. The people may love you, but the governing party or the army may decide to shoot you. Or the other way around. And it could be for the tiniest of things you did weeks ago in game time and can't even remember. A lot of the cause and effect is invisible, as like in real life, what you do may cause changes and events that you didn't even know were linked. A player can easily become overwhelmed and upset on how problems can pile up. And the game is SLOW - when you go 30 real seconds for a game day, it could take half the day to play a year!
You start to notice little things, like many of the people look alike, have the same voice, and meetings with most of your own people don't really seem to do anything. Some leaders get mad at you for just offering them wine. Japan refused to deal with me half the time and I had, for a few weeks, 100% approval rating. You would think if all my people loved me the other nations would be more willing to deal with me.
Wars are almost impossible to win and sometimes get way out of control. As China I invaded Taiwan. It took forever to get the military moving - the AI is stupid and when you have to do it all YOURSELF it can get tiring. By the time the conflict between us was over half the globe was still declaring war on the rest of the globe - it was like their reaction was delayed by a game week or something. There is also the fact that your people may wish you to help Russia against Poland or help France against the US of A. HOW?!?! If you China or India or a nation in the middle of nowhere, that's just unrealistic. Your armies and ships will end up pissing off other nations as they rush through their borders. A land war in Europe between Poland and Germany drew in Russia, Spain, England, France, Turkey, Iran and just kept spreading. The military units kept crossing borders to get at the enemy and triggered more fighting. Fighting broke out in South America between some of the European controlled islands and even Japan entered the war. Even while some people want you to join your allies others will get upset if you move one unit! Even the use of atomic weapons will get strange results. The UN once backed me up after I used it against Taiwan! What?!?!
The end result is you'll very likely be shot or replaced within a year of game time. Many people don't last a month! And that makes for bad replay value too. I have to say I never had it crash but sometimes the words are replaced with nonsense code in the newspapers or the trade screen - something failed to be translated properly. End result - I miss playing Civilization I!
This game would be great if it weren't for the bugs. I've played this extensively and got used to certain bugs and did what I could to not do what triggers certain bugs and still enjoy the game.
Now, I can't really play it at all. I can start a game and when I go to zoom, it zooms all the way in and the same when I zoom out.
Has this game ever had an update? I regret ever paying for it.
This is a great game or at least has the potential to be one on the best games going. Sadly the reason why it is so crap is because no matter what you do you will end up voted out in the first 30 days! You can do anything sit there and do nothing or pass through lots of laws that really sort out the country. It doesn't matter there will still be huge protests calling you xenophobic or a dictator and then you'll either be killed at some random event that you didn't even plan in your diary to attend or you'll be deposed. This game could be brilliant but its the imposibility of the popularity system in this game that makes it not worth buying!
i haven't even been able to play this game yet. When I tried to start, I received a message that i was missing XVID codecs and directed me to a website for assisstance. This is the very first time ever I have not seen the codecs not included in an install. How can you not include that in an install? I do not look to buy games with "some assembly required". Update, I had to go find and intall the codes in order to start the game and keep it starting it up for 5 minutes before I was allowed to post a review about the game not being ready to play "out of box". Even after the 3rd party independant installs, game just CTD never worked properly.
I really like this game! In fact, I like it so much, I don't understand why it has a mixed rating. I love playing the different countries of the world, especially the United States! I like the fact that you can create different types of modifications (I can bring down Russia as the United States and get away with it)! This is one of the best games I've ever played! This is on my list of favorite games, right between Star Wars: The Old Republic (higher ranked) and Making History 2: The War of the World (lower ranked)!
6/10 for this game.
Cons: This game was mostly alright to me, but even playing on Newbie as any country is pretty hard, the graphics were kind of choppy, the advisors and leaders speaking to you sounded weird to the point of humor, which I liked, and it is very, very hard to manage your financial situation while keeping your popularity up. Also, it can be very buggy for some, me, I never encountered any bugs or glitches yet, and I do not expect to. Wars are hard to declare with most countries because organizations, public opinions and finances are very hard to fight off.
Pros: I like the realism of the game and fine detail, as statistics and organization of everything in the country you rule is present. You really are in control of almost every aspect of a country, and this game does a fantastic job of displaying that. I like the government systems and political parties, they determine the style of your country and what policies it restricts you or limits you to hold. You can learn a lot from what this game gives you about the world, and it can get pretty fun and straightforward if you know what you are doing.
I recommend this game if you want to rule any country of the world and see how to run a country.
Going on 100 hours with this game at the time this was written. I'll attempt to give a good review.
First off, let me warn you:
IF YOU RUN A 32-BIT PROCESSOR, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! THIS GAME CRASHES IF YOU TRY TO RUN IT ON A 32-BIT.
Now, on to the actual review.
Pros:
-Unique game design
-You can literally pick any country you want, and play as that country for virtually all of time
-Huge variety of things to do (i.e. managing immigration policy, gun laws, family laws, race laws, religious laws, military laws, and foreign policy)
-Realistic government set-up
-Congressional votes
-Presidential Campaigns for re-election
-Wide variety of espionage options (i.e. assassinations, government moles)
-Ability to make any country into any government type (i.e. making the United States a totalitarian state, ruled by a ruthless dictator, banning free religion and speech. This cannot be done rapidly unless you want to put down civil revolts.)
-Wars are somewhat fun, but can get a tad repetitive if you like conquering the world.
-Nukes
Cons:
-One of the glitchiest games I have ever played.
-Absolutely NOT compatible Windows 32-bit of any kind.
-The Voices can get annoying.
-Some features may not work like they're supposed to.
-The face animation needs some work.
-The company that designed this game, Eversim, doesn't update it whatsoever.
Final Verdict: 7/10
If you can overlook the ocassional glitch, and you love Geo-political Simulators, then I definitely recommend this.
The game is buggy to the point you can't finish a game without running into something game breaking. If it isn't the construction bug, where you can't build anything new, then its the dreaded hospital bug where your cabinet members permenantly go into the hospital and never come out. Locking you out of the entire game mechanic regardless if you replaced them.
Eventually you wont be able to build any new buildings, or control your nation in any meaningful way. The devs abandoned this game and there are no unofficial patches.
For this reason, stay far away from this game as possible.
Garbage.
The game is buggy as hell.
No word from the developers as to how to fix this game.
Asked for a refund, they basically said tough shit.
Extremely poor quality for the extortionate price.
No one, and I mean NO ONE buy this game.
I actually DO recommend this game. I've been playing since 2010. It's enormous fun, especially if you're into politics. Sadly it also plays so very badly on anything that isn't a good gaming PC - even though it's now five years old. In a nutshell, the company that made this game had a fantastic idea but apparently outsourced the coding to a team of below-average intelligence monkeys. It is a MASSIVE drain on resources despite being an almost completely menu-based game; many of the bugs people report aren't bugs at all, but serious memory problems that hit lower-end machines. I have a brand new gaming PC that runs this thing like a charm - it can get through a term (4 -5 years) of gameplay in an hour, rarely crashes and handles reasonably smoothly. My older PC, which was good at the time this was released, takes an hour to get through one year, crashes completely at random (anywhere from 12 times in 20 minutes to once in 2 hours) due to memory problems and is unbearably laggy. Furthermore, the game is still incredibly buggy - EverSim opted to release new editions of the game rather than seriously fix old ones, with each new installment being more messed up than the last.
Having said all of that, the game is still enormously fun, and has improved from launch in 2010. Most countries are now realistically playable. If you're really enthusiastic about politics, this game can be very enjoyable - it has much more depth to it than any other geopolitical sim, and the emphasis here really is on managing a country's domestic politics and economy. It has some bizarre quirks in its model - inflation for instance will always track economic growth (have 8% growth and eventually inflation will hit 8%), meaning some innovative and gamey solutions are needed to avoid stagnation. But it is still easily the most thorough and rewarding political simulator out there, despite its problems. Some countries are more flawed than others, but there are usually workarounds to make every one playable. If you have a high-end PC and a love of politics, get it. Otherwise, this game is not worth your money or frustration.
Bugged like crazy, just filled with them... Soon you start winning and taking over countries or become a economic power house or anything that makes you winning you get a huge amount of bugs and freezes. The game at most points will just freeze. This game is broken. Total fraud of what it was said to be... It's like playing an Alpha. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
Rulers of Nations has the potential to be an excellent game. And since the last time I've played it, they have made significant improvements. However there are some functional problems with the game. Certain features, including ordering the construction of military bases, refugee camps and power facilities has some sort of error which will not allow you to select the place to build it. I've noticed some scrambled code gibberish pop up in place of people's names in the newspaper articles. I also always have problems with uncontrollable crime rates, despite increasing police forces and budget and increased focus on education and reducing unemployment. Regardless of this, the game eventually sends the country into anarchy and civil war due to excessive crime rates. I don't know why this keeps happening. There is also the lunacy of random celebrities getting in trouble which for some bizarre reason damages your approval rating (comparable with if Lindsay Lohan landed in rehab and then everyone blamed Obama for it). Overall decent game. Still needs more work. Buy it when it's on sale.
Too difficult to play even for veteren geo-political players like me. Too easy to be overthrown, unweilding political systems and unrealistic amounts of protests and resistance to changes in government policy. It made great efforts schedule meetings and convince politicans and cilivans to supoort you publically. This severally cripples the fun and potential reform of countries, making it totally unenjoyable. And to add realism to the weekly events of a nation's leader and well as great systems of government policy avaiablilty, (ie taxes, media, power of parliaments, condemning or avocating for people/organizations, etc).
Filling trade and resource deficits somehow increase unemployment, and it's too diffucult to better realtions with other nations. This game had real potential, but fell flat on its face in making often positive changes in the nation you are playing possible. Too many times will you be "retired", executed or deposed, too early and unreasonably. Even playing as the US to balance the budget or be more environmentally friendly is too hard to do.
While I recommend this game, I can completely understand why so many dislike it. This is not a wargame. This is very much not a wargame, although there is war in it. In fact, you would be better off playing Civ than this if you prefer a good war element. With that out of the way, I can understand one other major frustration: the bugs. The most annoying one (and the only one I have really noticed so far) is the building glitch. Don't expect that to get fixed, as the new version Masters of the World has already been released.
Now for why I recommended this. Quite simply, this game is addictive. Once you get the hang of it, you find youself so concerned for what happens to your country next that you find yourself thinking about it all the time. How will I finish this war? What am I going to do with my new-found funds? Should I subsidize my X industry or Y industry, if I can't subsidize both? Lots of decisions to be made. The spying is one of the best made systems I have seen from any game in a long time. It isn't 'wait X turns to have an 80% chance of stealing a technology.' It has much more to do with infiltrating terrorist organizations, assassinating others, political espianage, and more. There will sometimes be moles in your organization that will mess up everything, and you should have a decent amount of spies keeping an eye out for others trying to spy on you. The accounting/economics is a bit over my head, but they do a good enough job of explaining it for me to have half a clue what I am doing.
Overall, fun game. Looking forward to Masters of the World eventually.
i was a worried this game would be a waste of 20$, thankfuly it was not a waste,there are so many mechanics at work here, for example i was just curious what would happen if i mobolized my troops along the border of another country and i was rather impressed with what happend, i have not seen anything like this in a game, what happend was as soon as i got my troops there the country that i had my troops next to said they were worried that i was going to do something to them, and as soon as they sent that, they ordered their troops next to my border to have a quick response to my invasion force. and this was the A.I. so yeah i was rather impressed. i do reconmend this game to people who enjoyed shadow president or other detailed games in the geo political sim genre.
I recently purchased this game because it was cheaper than GPS 3 and I wanted to get a taste for the series. I have to say that I love this game and it was exactly what I was looking for at the time. I think a key here is to try not to take things to seriously and think the game is going to match real life.
However there is so much going on and everything you do seems to affect something so your decisions feel important.
There are some bugs in the game though I can't specifically think of any off hand and the graphics are not the greatest but it's not a shooter.
It does take some time to grasp the economy which I must admit I am still trying to do...
Wars are not just walk in and take over, there are many things to think about and many repercussions for actions. Those could come from Allies of the country you attacked, from the UN, from your own people or cabinet members. You could have problems with refugees during Wars which I did as Israel I ran into a problem where I had refugees from a city in the far North which Syria took from me. I think maybe because of the small size of the country I was unable to find a suitable location for the camp (maybe a bug). In the end the refugees left for Jordan. Maybe someday they'll come back. I did eventually take the city back and the War ended with Syria with no gains for either side. Now much like real life we both have troops around the borders and tensions are high. This is why this game is great.
If you are looking for a game where you control a country, and where your moves can really affect what is going on around you then check this out. I am trying to decide if it's worth throwing down the $50 for GPS3.
This game has its perks and is mildly entertaining but overall, it is very annoying. You rarely know what's actually going on. Your advisors are useless and you'll notice people rioting/demonstrating and it doesn't tell you why. There also seem to be some bugs such as advisors telling me the stock market crashed and the graphs show it actually increasing. Budget forecasts don't update sometimes even though I know it has changed. This game could have been great. Tried Masters of the World and it's hardly any better. Don't waste the money.
This is properly the best Political game around! Ruling a nation like your a real leader in real life, that's how I like my Strategy games. The graphics is not great and at first it is kinda challenging and hard to getting use to, but when you watch tutorial videos on YouTube it is ton's of fun to play. I Definitely recommend this game if your a Political and Strategy person.
Despite all the negative reviews online, I decided to give this a try as it's exactly the kind of subject matter I've been wanting to explore in a video game. Rulers of Nations is a mixed bag. Not as bad as some are saying.
I expected a total mess of clutter and illogical AI. To my pleasure, the game is neither impossible to learn nor enjoy. There's actually quite a comprehensive and well thought-out simulation of running a modern state lurking under the poor graphics, cheap UI, uneven difficulty and mountains of stats. You'll certainly be kept busy with tons of decisions to make about laws, budgeting, trade, diplomacy etc.
I've seen reviews comparing this unfavourably to games like Superpower 2 and Supreme Ruler. I disagree - this game is definitely superior to either of those.
If the price were lower, I'd recommend it strongly to anyone interested in the subject matter. As it is, I'd say buy it only if you're really curious and have some cash to spare.
Regretting my decision to buy this.
Gameplay concepts are interesting, but the tutorial does next to nothing to teach you how to play the game. Nothing is explained past a couple of examples of how to introduce a piece of legislation into the parliament and how to order a military operation against a terrorist cell. Budgetary information is poorly presented, making it cryptically difficult to know what measures are affecting the bottom line and by how much. The UI is attrocious.
After a couple of hours poking around, I feel like I've made no progress whatsoever. I have no idea what to do, what I'm doing or what in the world is affecting what. It's a complete mess.
Although I have a degree of interest in politics and world affairs, I'm completely lost. I find that without a sufficiently solid understanding of economics, the player is going to miss out on a whole chunk of this games appeal.
Unless you're a student of economics and/politics, and can put up with a clunky interface, and occasional buggy elements that don't make much sense, steer clear of this one.
3/10
