Ratings and Reviews
One of a kind political simulator with shaky writing
Suzerain is a truly unique work of interactive fiction. As far as I’m aware, it is the only game of this length and depth that tells the story of a president guiding the country through policy decisions day to day while simultaneously politicking with the different parties, factions, and interests. In this regard, it is a trailblazer.
Yet all interactive fiction necessarily lives and dies by the quality of its writing, and here the game falls short. It becomes obvious a short way into the story that the writers of this game aren’t native English speakers. While there is little outright broken English, the writing is littered with instances of awkward phrasing. Beyond this, the dialogue options are often amateurish or outright nonsensical. Although the sentiment of the choices usually comes through, poor writing, especially in the choices, hurts the reader’s immersion. I would recommend getting a native English speaking professional editor to read through and polish the text in a future version.
Nevertheless, I recommend downloading the app and giving it a go if you enjoy text-based games and/or politics, as the intrigue and anticipation in seeing the consequences of your actions make it worth wading through the sometimes cringeworthy writing.
Really quite well made
I have been enjoying this time killer the past few days, after developing the nation successfully (in whichever way you desire, be it fascist, communist, or somewhere in the middle) the replay value really drops off. It is a short game but absolutely packed with engaging content and several different paths to choose. Only complaints I have are that its too short and the map is quite small, after winning a second term I was extremely eager to continue developing, only to learn that you will only ever play 1 term. Regardless I enjoyed it despite having to rush through lots of text for every play-through after the first.
4 bucks is cheap, if you are political or if you enjoy paradox games and similar genres, try this out.

War
The war with Rumburg with the new updates is impossible to win, I tried every ally, every strategy, every economy and immigration, every decision that leads up to the war, only way to not go to war is if you ally with a super power, you can’t offer trade or peace because then iosef coups you, this needs to get fixed, the old game allowed you to win, all those vids I saw they won, and there 3 years old, I even did what they did the best I could do, but no I still lose, this needs fixed, the war is unbeatable, no matter what strategy or generals, you lose, it’s still a greet game but, the unwinnable war is making it unplayable, fix it or atleast make it easier, for the sake of the players and long term players, I beat this game more then 13 times, can’t win the war or get unleashed from the coup, iosef only accepts you if you retaliate, not even all the time, please.
