Our take on Supreme Ruler 1936
The store page places equal weight on campaigns, scenarios, sandbox play, diplomacy, economics, and military control, but gives little indication of how these systems are paced or how much attention each requires. The result is a broad feature outline rather than a clear picture of the moment-to-moment workflow.
