A very detailed strategy game with nearly unlimited gameplay

User Rating: 9.5 | Supreme Ruler 2020 PC

At First I rated this game at 8.5, then 9.0, and now I've changed it to 9.5 as I keep discovering more depth and detail to this game. This is not a strategy game for the casual player - if you think tactics in Command & Conquer are the pinnacle of Military theory then stay away. But if you are looking for a strategy game that combines a detailed and comprehensive military model - with tactics on the Battalion level using real-world modelled unit designs - and a full diplomatic and economic level, then SR2020 pulls it off very, very well.

The game comes with shorter 'Scenarios' - the German invasion of Poland (you play Poland) is my favorite here, and then it also gives you a Campaign mode that they call 'Sandbox' - the sandbox is in fact anything you want to make if it. You can pick where in the world to start (over 180 choices in a 'world like it is today' version, and over 250 choices in a 'world broken up' version). You can set victory conditions that include peaceful victories and time limits, or just go for world domination :)

The official Gamespot review doesn't do the game justice for its depth and detail - yes, it is not for everyone. But if you like detailed strategy - 'real' strategy - then very few games like this ever come along, and this is one of the best.

Now I better get back to my latest game before I lose my upcoming election....
