Supreme Ruler 2020 Demo

Although the world is pretty big and diverse, large enough events can have ripples throughout the continents, such as wars, pandemics, or a global economy collapse. As you probably found out from history books, such things never end too well for the majority of the nations involved, since hunger, disease and violence always cause a great deal of human victims, regardless of how quickly the situation is resolved.

Supreme Ruler 2020 is a self-proclaimed geo-political simulator that allows you to put your wildest tactics into practice when it comes to managing an entire nation and make a difference at a global level. Moreover, if you play your cards right and acquire enough power, you can eventually become the leader of the entire world and have every continent under your control, in case you need the practice for your super-villain plans.

The game is actually a sequel in the series and it aims to fix a lot of mistakes in the original release, by improving the gameplay and addressing a large number of issues. However, while this installment is definitely better than its predecessor, there are still some major annoyances that are unresolved, which can sometimes ruin your experience. You can get over them, on the other hand, especially since the wide array of options put at your disposal barely give you any time to notice the inconsistencies.

In essence, the greatest annoyance is the fact that the tutorial does not really explain things as well as it should and the interface is not intuitive enough to school you on everything that must be done. Thus, many options and settings can remain hidden from you for a long time, which might lead you to believe that the game lacks certain elements, when they are actually just hard-to-find.

The mechanics are not very well balanced and you can easily exploit some aspects, or take advantage of certain gimmicks to power through the scenario without worrying about military strength or economy. Moreover, the political aspects, although pretty solid and diverse overall, can sometimes be very inaccurate and badly implemented.

All things considered, Supreme Ruler 2020 may come with its fair share of flaws and annoyances, but most of them can be ignored or just avoided, since there are plenty of other things you can do at any given time. The scenarios are interesting and you can always just have fun on a global scale and disregard any kind of common sense.
