The verdict
A deep, good-looking county-level election sim with solid bones, but it launched rough: buggy, RNG-heavy, shallow events. Skip it if you want a finished game now.
Great for
Election-sim fans who like county-level data and can tolerate rough edges while a solo dev patches
Main risk
Repetitive RNG-driven events and bugs make it feel unfinished and shallow at full-release price
