    Realpolitiks is a difficult strategy to get your head around. With so many manageable things to be watched at once, it it likely to alienate new starters.

    Realpolitiks is not the kind of game I would have ever expected on Nintendo Switch. It's not the perfect grand strategy experience; Europa Universalis IV may have slightly less complex and interlocking systems, but it offers deeper AI and greater complexity in strategy, and that's far more important to a grand strategy's longevity. That being said, Realpolitiks is a really delightful game to have for on-the-go play, on a console that I would never have guessed would end up with something like this on it.

    Realpolitiks really wishes it was something as grand as Europa Universalis, but in reality, it’s more akin to the Tropico games or a souped-up Football Manager. You have a lot of systems to manage, but the choices you make within these systems aren’t as open as we’d like and you're left spinning countless diplomatic plates without the agency befitting such a seat of power. The end result is a grand strategy game that struggles to find a middle ground between accessibility for newcomers and long-term investment for genre veterans.

After trying 4 or 5 games, I was never able to complete none of them because the game eventually crashes and, although it seem to keep running, it does not allow you to do any progress.

    I read few user reviews warning about this, but for other platforms. I decided to take the risk, guessing the studio should have solved the problem for their release on the Switch. The problems are still there and they were not solved, so the studio is simply offering a broken game. Basically, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME and try out something else.    … Full Review »

    It's simpler than most games of this kind but it is a good entryway to the genre for new players.
