Close to perfection

This is really close to being a good game. It obviously wasnt made for mobile devices though, the UI is very clunky and annoying sometimes. The game needs desperate balancing; GDP growth is near impossible even with all the appropriate research projects initiated.

Decapitated before Blossom (The Original Is Still the Champion)

Date: February 9, 2026 This is the best version of Realpolitiks—and it’s not even close. After playing Part 2 and Part 3, it’s clear why YouTubers like Many A True Nerd, Drew Durnil, and Quill18 spent far more time with the original. This entry had something special: clarity, elegance, and strong mechanical identity. JuJu Games—please return to your roots. This version is the champion sound. There is so much room to expand this design while keeping it simple and intentional, exactly as the original vision intended. Sadly, the IP feels abandoned. Even worse, it feels poorly marketed. Frankly, the publisher has done a lousy job bringing Realpolitiks into the spotlight. This game is a gem—and it feels given up on. Very sad. If I could, I’d invest to buy the property myself. ⸻ 🔄 Review Update – February 20, 2025 Still a fun and engaging game, especially given today’s political climate. It naturally pushes the player to think more deliberately about decisions. Real-world politics aside—this game rewards intention. Once you understand the mechanics, the experience becomes deeply satisfying. Unfortunately, from gameplay footage and hands-on time, Part 2 shifts away from what made the original compelling. That’s a shame. The original had a powerful design language—an elegant expression of ideas through systems. You can feel the creative chemistry between the designers and developers here. The systems talk to each other. Your choices matter. The foundation was strong—it just never fully evolved. What Worked Exceptionally Well ✅ Battle Mechanics – Excellent foundation; only needed refinement ✅ Scenarios – Strong concept, but needed more variety and outcome modifiers ✅ Block Mechanics – Loved this system; elegant and readable ⸻ ❌ Diplomacy – A Missed Opportunity (With a Simple Fix) Diplomacy is where the game fell short. There was real potential to add lightweight but meaningful depth without bloating the UI. A Missed Design Opportunity Diplomacy could have evolved into a simple engine-building card system, visually similar to the existing battle UI. Inspired by games like: • Race for the Galaxy • Dominion • Ascension How It Could Have Worked: • Diplomacy cards dynamically added to a nation’s “deck” • Card availability tied to: • Active Policies • Economy / GDP • HDI • Population • Civil Unrest As your policy changes (as you add & remove), so does your diplomatic hand. Card Examples: • Trade Agreements • Tariff Wars • Shared Research (accelerates active policy projects) When interacting with other nations—each with their own decks—you’d engage in strategic exchanges, adding tension and intentionality without overwhelming complexity. This alone could have made diplomacy feel alive, reactive, and meaningful. ⸻ 📜 Original 2022 Review (Preserved) TL;DR: This is a premium product — BUY IT. Very fun. Very rewarding. Details: There’s plenty of gameplay on YouTube: • Many A True Nerd • Drew Durnil Same game on iOS. If you’re here, buy it. This is a grand strategy game, on the lighter side—but still rich with depth. • Noob-friendly, but do your homework • Understand the difference between 4X vs Grand Strategy Issues (Still Relevant) • ❌ Font is way too small • ❌ Long load times when continuing iCloud tutorial saves • ❌ Tutorial text bugs (e.g., TUT_UNEMPL_P3_Mobile, PROJECT_TUT_P1_Mobile) • ❌ Missing or broken tutorial explanations • ❌ Needs a proper PDF manual with visuals • ❌ Controller support (MFi / Bluetooth) missing Content & DLC I would gladly pay for: • More scenarios • More variety • Quality-of-life improvements • Bug fixes and UI refinement This is a premium game—and it deserves premium support. ⸻ Final Verdict Realpolitiks (Original) remains the strongest entry in the series. It had: • Vision • Identity • Elegant mechanics It deserved to grow—not be replaced. If you enjoy thoughtful grand strategy without overwhelming complexity, this is still absolutely worth your time and money.

Just missed the mark

Excellent strategy game. The game is very buggy. Will crash often. They didn't incorporate the pretty map version with detailed Terran and cities. Also a lot of poorly executed scripts. It's difficult to determine what happens sometimes as the game will just display the file name during an event in lieu of a description of the game event. So close to being a perfect app but they gave up on it unfortunately.

Too many expenses and combat needs work.

Economics After fully upgrading my entire country I was making decent cash flow but as soon as I take three more provinces somehow my cash flow decreases to less than half of what it was prior to the war. Also research has a certain expense/maintenance cost when you get them and that’s great! But when you start to progress and take more land the expenses rise to an astronomical amount so it’s not beneficial to move forward in the game. Also these “catastrophic events” that happen back to back when you get ahead are an unnecessary addition to the game. Whenever I got to a good economic position I’d get some kind of “tragedy” that has no way of preventing in the game and it takes half of the growth I had, which stops the majority of my progress. Combat The simplest way I can put this is when I outnumber the enemy a thousand to one I shouldn’t take so many casualties and I most definitely shouldn’t lose the battle. For example: I had 450inf 260tanks 200planes and 40ships against 16inf 6tanks and 4planes and I lost multiple battles against them. That has no common sense no matter which way you look at it.

Best Grand Strategy on mobile

Note: It’s best played with New Power DLC for the full experience. Most of those bad reviews are fake and ignorant. There is no time limit. Once you reach the “time limit” you can either to choose to end the game right away or keep continuing until you’re satisfied or have achieved global dominance. This is a review coming from someone who knows the game inside out. What do you expect? For this game to be simpler? Oh man real life is just as hard trust me. Wars do take forever and so does in real life. The secret is, it’s not about the quantity of troops it’s based on your choices on how to achieve that war score. If you’ve read Sun Tzus art of war. It is stated that You have to be well prepared. Although the war system may look simple, there’s more to it than you might think. Its chess not checkers. So choose your wars wisely. There’s so many features, choices, strategies to accomplish your goal of total dominance. You can do peaceful annexations if done right. It all depends on your IQ. You have to be meticulous. Don’t fight wars you can’t win. The more you play the more experience you’ll gain. The more you know how the world of Realpolitiks work. This game is a test of how smart you are. This game isn’t for the insular. It’s extremely fun in its own way.

PLEASE READ

Great game don’t understand why people rate it low great strategy and stuff only thing is after a while your app just goes down the drain I figured out why as well, when you use the outsource project the number of ap it provides remains the same as when activated so you have to refresh them all once every 3 years to keep playing when u have a well developed country (this is coming from one of the few players that took the time to capture the entire world lol)

Not worth the price

The game is visually/graphically pretty good for a mobile game, but the game in itself is really bad. I played it for a few hours and many unrealistic, and weird actions were taken by the A.I. I get that it’s all fictional and maybe for game’s sake faster paced than in reality to make it more action packed, yet the countries in the game are out of place and make moves that are absolutely impossible to make in real life. For example, how can Chile initiate a full frontal assault on Switzerland? It’s geographically impossible and politically improbable. Any country, whichever you choose can initiate war on any other just by initiating the war button, from that point forth, it’s one nations’ full military might against the other, which is technically impossible given the distance and/or other nations in between the two, but guess what? Sh— happens. I wasted $5.99 hoping it was something like the political map of the total war games in the modern world. Yet all I got was a boring, unrealistic and gibberish game which shouldn’t be worth more than $0.99. I’m told the PC version is much better, but at this point I’d rather not try it at all.

Don’t believe bad rating, game is awesome DEEP grand strategy game that we need more of on iOS....I,m surprised people who play Games like this (planning, critical thinking, deep strategy) wouldn’t read app description and then complain about their own stupidity. Seriously, people are ignorant. This game suffers from poor rating (which affects sales which affects continuous improvements/dlc development) from IGNORANT USERS who bought before they Read app description about incompatibility and then rate bad because of bad performance on incompatible device!!

Unplayable, no customer support

Bought the game and the DLC. Can’t play the game because it always shuts down and boots me out every time I try to start the game. I sent an email with my order number to the developer and have had zero response. I’d ask for my money back from apple, but it’s not worth the trouble. Save your money for a game that works and developers that actually give a toss about their customers

Awful, buggy mess.

I applaud the idea and effort, and had high hopes for a semi realistic global political simulator. This feels more like a half-baked demo. Clearly this game was released with no real QA or polishing. The controls are unintuitive and full of obvious coding errors. It’s not uncommon to see misspellings at best and raw code at worst, such as “event_spy_capture” instead of a clear written sentence explaining what you’re looking at. The intro instructions are extremely unhelpful and the amount of time it takes to learn to play the game is far too high. If you can stomach the learning curve, you’re still confronted by a clueless AI that breaks the whole idea of global realpolitik. If I’m being harsh, it’s because of how much this thing costs. Spend your money elsewhere.

Good But Found Bugs

Overall, The Game is Great, There is a lot of Diplomacy Options and is what A Strategy Game should be, But I have found many bugs such as Once I was the USA and after waging war on the South I had finally gotten them down to one province, I declared war on them, I won, but I could not annex them, I white peaced with them and tried again, But again I could not annex them. And I think it is a bug, But overall Great game.

I love it

It’s a very good game. I enjoy it very much and it has serious replay value. However, the text font on iPhones is too small. Just scaling it up one or two points would be so much better. There are no bugs except in many menus of the game, you have code commands instead of text. As an example, if a pop up comes up and it’s about spies, instead of saying “Spy Mission Failed” or something like that, it says “SPY_MISSION_FAILURE”. But as I said, very good game.

Pros and Cons

Before I begin, I just want to say it is a really fun game, and I love how it plays. I would like certain things like being able to puppet countries, I would like to be able to have the option to liberate a nation with more than one province, I would like to have if two different countries are at war with let’s say Russia I would like the wars to join together and and have the peace deals joined, and I would like the ability to change a governments economy, military, and owned land before a game begins. I realize most of these are not really going to happen but just a few suggestions I would like (especially the last one). Pros: You can have military blocs, nukes are a thing, the environment gets damaged when you drop enough nukes, you can play as any country, multiple map scenarios, can change own country name and flag, it isn’t super easy to instantly win, and I’m sure there are many more. Cons: The fighting is a little bland, democracies can do almost nothing, China is virtually impossible to beat, money doesn’t appear to be a big deal, China is OP, a lot of time the text is just an error message, and China can have like 500 troops out at any given moment.

Great, we need more like this

Though I have some suggestions( I know developing is hard so I don’t expect these to even be thought about) but it would be nice if you could add these things -More things for ships to do -More Start Dates(DLC?): maybe a sort of “Prequel” scenario where you start 1945 and end in 2020, And if possible, a way to transfer a map -Fix the DLC TXT glitch -elaborate on ideologies like make a tree that you can go down. Like “if I choose religious order I’m going to have fascism” kind of deal. -(these are probably the most far fetched) either Custom countries, Puppets, or being able to play as a Provence you’ve released

Unnatural progression

I love Realpolitiks. I’ve had it for awhile and play it often. However, I almost never finish the campaigns I start. Usually after 20 or 30 years I call it quits due to one glaringly unrealistic aspect of the game - the more you advance, the harder it becomes to maintain action points or money. In real life, countries build upon themselves; it’s easier for advanced countries to build on their existing development. Why is it, then, that I can have such a big lead my score is more than double that of the country in second place, but I have no action points? I’ve added policies that should make my government and economy much more efficient, but nothing seems to remedy this. I understand that the game should get harder as you go to keep it challenging, but I feel like these challenges can (and should) be more realistic. The United States is never going to fall apart in real life because it became too developed. Replacing this inexorable AP drain with perhaps more internal and external threats to your government would make the narrative of the game much more engaging and realistic.

I think Realpolitiks is an addicting, and fun game. However there are not enough time frames in the game. So I suggest to put WW2, WW1, and the Victorian era. This would be amazing if y’all did!!!

The game looks great and is very in-depth, but unfortunately for me... I have an iPhone 7 and the game buttons, symbols, and general texts are too SMALL (I have great eyesight btw). It was a struggle to make it through the tutorial: 1. I had to hold my phone inches away from my face to read instructions, task menus, and pretty much everything. 2. The button icons were a challenge to press once again due to size or lack there of. Game looks to be fun, challenging, and have great replay value, but I do not suggest buying this app unless you have a large screen or tablet. Those who own smaller phones will not enjoy. Will upgrade stars if refund is granted.
