App summary

Lead an entire nation to salvation – or destruction – in a post-apocalyptic world set beyond the year 2075. With a simple swipe of your finger, left or right, you’ll be able to decide of this Nation’s destiny, taking hard decisions about different quests and problems, that will be brought to your presidential attention. Be careful though: leading has never been easy and it will be even more challenging in a similar world. Something mysterious has thrown the whole future humanity in a deep confusion, causing a continuous stream of events as wars, illness, famine. No one seems to recall what started this all, no one seems to know anything about the odd events that keeps involving the planet, no one can explain why you seem to rise every time someone tries to keep you down.

So be careful, and think long and hard each and every decision, because nothing happens by chance. Every single event might help you reach your final victory, but at the same time it could be the reason of your failure. Who will be your friend, and who will be your enemy? Hard to say in such a complex world filled with betrayals, aliens, bionic beings and ancient myths. What’s done is done, and you can just play your cards as well as you can in this inevitable race against time.

This game is amazing! The mystery is so very hooking and the plot is so good. The gameplay is simple but engaging. There's no pressure to buy anything or even play it daily (I just did because I loved the game so much). Ads are completely reasonable, you only get them when you die, and they are always 5-15 seconds. Sometimes you can chose to watch an ad in the middle of gameplay, but you get a good reward from it. I absolutely recommend trying it out, you will be hooked!

The game is alright; the concept is interesting, challenging, usually enjoyable. I like that cards are added in throughout the game, which helps keep it fresh. However, some cards have very similar phrasing to one another: e.g., two similar cards that both have to do with security, where one may 'spend' security, and the other 'earn' security. Still, good game overall!

I usually judge mobile games within the first 15 minutes and I kinda expected what I got into. I would give it two star for the simplicity and how you need to watch an ad everytime you die. However, I really enjoyed the characters/storyline. I knew that the creator put heart into the story (which kinda answers my question on why the rest of the game isn't the greatest) and I enjoyed reading the dialog. Good game for the first play through! Not a game to replay but a game to enjoy
