This is early days for the game however the usual faults with this company's previous games seem to be in 4GW.

Full of bugs.
Warfare makes zero sense.
Economics are simple (just sell a few aircraft carriers and you're rich)
Diplomacy has no complexity.

Yet again another example of this company having an awesome idea but executing it poorly.

After hours of playing I still don't truly understand what the objective is.

I really hope this gets developed more but knowing this company I think that's unlikely.

Them releasing this game makes no sense to me, instead of putting time in and improving their Geopolitical series, which has so much more potential. I refunded it.

Personally, I like the geopolitical theme of the game. However, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The game has you micromanaging every character under your command; instead of giving characters a mission and off they go, you have to personally order every single step towards a goal, such as assassinating a foreign minister or blowing up an important building. That is very complicated multitasking, multiple times I made mistakes and gave the wrong character the wrong order because I was focusing on multiple goals. If you think you can manage all that perfectly, then by all means. Otherwise, think twice.

Biden travels too Moscow to meet Putin on the first day of the game. On arrival he's arrested and put in costody inside the Kremlin for no reason at all. THEY ARREST THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE ARRIVES TO A FORMAL MEETING!! Hahaha.. I quickly respond and activate my spy in Moscow to keep track on the events while I prepare my Special Forces back in the US to go and free the president. While all that is going down Putin and Biden all of a sudden holds the meeting as scheduled and as nothing happened! Haha I mean WTF!

This game clearly is in early access and that's also stated on the store page.. BUT the gready developers have the guts to publish DLC that should have been in the base game and doing so BEFORE even making the base game remotely playable without immersion breaking bugs and extremely clunky Ui. Shame on you Eversim, I'm done feeding you and your discusting business model

Here is a game that is not only a successor to, but a potential rival to Power & Revolution. The game has a slight learning curve, but once you begin to figure things out, the possibilities are near limitless (their is a 2.5 hour tutorial/introductory review on youtube that I highly recommend, I found it very much helpful). The AI is intelligent, and foreign nations will take realistic initiatives to secure what is best for their country, via force if necessary. Moreover the inclusion of iconic landmarks within each nation (e.g. UN building in New York, the Kremlin in Moscow) improves upon the already vaunted immersion of the game. Although I myself am still learning several aspects of the game, I most definitely am willing to state that this is the best Geopolitical simulator I have ever played in my life. Compared to previous geopolitical simulators, the graphics are improved, and the simple sheer amount of actions that can be performed make for ironic twists and interesting game plays. I have been playing the game for merely some 2 hours, yet in all this, I felt as though I was actually stepping into the shoes of an actual head of state, in my case, the President of the United States. However POTUS is only one of several characters that one has the ability to control. Each departmental head or agent has at their disposal a variety of actions with which to further your own ambitions. As Russia do you wish to recreate the Russian Empire? By all means, go ahead, but prepare yourself for the UN sanctions that will most surely follow, as well as the very much distinct possibility of interventionist forces from around the world. The United Nations is an especially neat feature in my opinion. I would absolutely revel to see the ability to call emergency UN meetings (if it is not already possible) with the P5 or UN Security Council to tackle international crises. outside of sanctions. All in all this is more of a simulation than an actual game, and I advocate that it possesses remarkable untapped potential.

TLDR: This is not the turn based geopolitical simulator/RPG you are looking for. This is a proof of concept try of something that could have been. It is really disappointing but no, do not be tempted. The fun isn't here.

If you want details read on.

I wanted to like this game. No, I mean, I really wanted to like this game. Like "ideal game ever conceived" I wanted to like this game when I learnt about it.

Its premise is everything that I would wish for.
Geopolitical simulator. Check.
Covert ops. Check
RPG elements. Check
Turn based mode. Check

Too bad the game isn't here. A hodgepodge of systems that kinda work but do not have any kind of coherence or sync as a whole. Several irregular behaviors due to the interaction between untested systems. No overarching vision for what the game really wants to be.
I tried to approach this game, in turn based mode, as a board game that you have to maximize your score against your adversaries. No way to understand the premise of the gameplay. I don't mean the premise of your role as president or cabinet or anything.
But the premise of what the game is all about.
You can hack a server in a military base.
And you can manage a budget of a nation.
And you can launch missiles.
But...what for?
If it's a non-nonsense geopolitical simulator then you should have different flavors of activities for eveyr country. That is the titan's work that behemoths of paradox grand strategy go for. US should be on the road to world domination against real challenges, not getting points for bullying Bulgaria. And so on...
If it's a wacky board game of "crazy world countries doing their thing" streamline the thing. Get a cartoony look and feel. Get a more "board-gamey" approach. Embrace the turns and the contrast between the micro and the macro. Balance points, causes and effects. Create a physical board game, test it, then port the mechanics in the PC with gusto.

In short: This is an excellent proof of concept piece of software that should work as a pitch for a publisher to give the devs 3 years for creating EITHER of the games that they want to make.
The fact that the devs decided to release this is rather dissappointing and a disservice to the overall vision of these kind of games.
A vision that deserves a competent development effort because this is a niche that longs to be covered.
Let's hope Espiocracy manages better.
Refunded.

No idea how to play the game, developers said two years ago they were doing proper tutorials, yet still nothing. No youtube videos clearly explaining the game. Have to assume this is why the game is mostly negative with no one playing, not many know how it works :(

Game has potential but after lots of testing and giving feedback lot of core things never came to be and instead three payed DLCs over the course of 4 months. Base game needs heavy focus and every Eversim game is proof that may not happen.

Really good basis for a game. Spy vs Spy and geo-political simulation all in one. The only downside to this game is of course the bugs and crashes. War seems to break out randomly for no reason. I had North Korea attacking France and annexing it as well as Germany after that, China was annexing Japan and then at war with North Korea. Nukes were suddenly in the air...and that was just as my game was getting exciting. One of my top spies who had a secret dossier on a member of Parliament caught in a naughty act, disappeared. We found him though, unfortunately he had been murdered. I was just about to start the investigation into what happened and bring the perps to justice and my game crashed. So sad. Such good promise this game and so exceedingly unique. The devs just need to sort the bugs and it would be amazing.
