The life of a dictator is dangerous and difficult. You only advocate in the stream of intrigues, conspiracies and money cuts, wicked important political forces. That is how the first -person of the first person of a small Latin American country is represented in the game “Dictator: Revolution” (also known as Dictator: Revolt), the genre of which is difficult to determine.
No one writes to the dictator. Everyone comes personally ..
Having occupied the virtual cabinet in his palace, the player sees six icons with stylized images of representatives of the key “parties” of the state. This is an oligarchy, police, an army, liberals-lawyers, people and, of course, your favorite family. Every day you can receive an audience with only one of the factions to solve just one burning issue. Do generals need atomic submarines for personal purposes, do farmers have the right to keep cows, whether it is worth highlighting a friend of the heart from a shibual storage? The answer is always unequivocal, categorical and worth, firstly, the treasury of money, and secondly, reputation to the dictator. The proletariat and human rights activists may be offended by the coercion of students to dig trenches, and the financing of a new mansion for uncle due to tobacco magnates can not like the oligarchs and close to them to the generals.
A positive solution for the party adds one or two points to you in her eyes, it removes the negative as a negative. With a too low level of confidence, the El President is waiting for a conspiracy with a threat of losing a post, with a fairly high fraction, the faction begins to pay, allowing to maintain the budget. In such a balance between love and hatred and months and months pass. Only text, only icons, only patriotic music against the background.
You gradually understand which of the politicians acts in conjunction, and develop a strategy that allows you to stay for two, three years, but the budget still ends, leaving alone with the choice between built -in purchases or overthrow from the post. And sometimes to the critical line is brought by a strange system of relationships. Thus, for some reason
the power structures of the republic are negatively tuned to each other, and the generally positive gesture towards the policemen will bring general anger on you. Moreover, sometimes people of the republic react to your actions quite illogical: for example, the same cops can be offended by the cover of the prosecutor. The position of the people who very often acts in accordance with the oligarchs is still incomprehensible, which is already completely in any gate.
But even if you are a genius of manipulation and fraud, capable of staying in such a not too cozy chair for a very long time, the game will still not offer any ultimate goal. Well, except for the list of achievements. Moreover, even the intermediate results of their atrocities and good deeds cannot be preserved. No way.
The adviser is lying: the revolution can happen, even if one faction has seven gold crosses, and the other has three.
The idea with interesting potential, due to imbalance and futility, turns into primitive entertainment for trips in transport and queues, a kind of endless “Runner” away from lynching. The trouble is that on the local dictatorial throne you can enjoy exceptionally small portions and for a short while – bouts of aggression and boredom begin from long rule.
Pros: Interesting concept;Funny situations.
Cons: illogical reactions to your actions;General aimlessness.
