‘Realpolitiks’ Is a Real-Time Grand Strategy Game Coming Next Month

If there’s one genre that’s really missing from mobile is real-time grand strategy games of the Paradox kind. Realpolitiks is a game hoping to fill in that void next month. The game has been on Steam for a while and has mixed reviews, but PC player expectations for these kinds of games are usually different from those of mobile players. This “streamlined" real-time grand strategy game lets you rule any country you want and deal with and territorial disputes, economic issues, international affairs, and—of course—military conflicts. You’ll have to also deal with unexpected events and global crises, like the EU collapsing or the Islamic State expanding.

The game uses three main political systems—democracy, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism—to emulate the world, and lets you pick one of those paths for your country. The game will be coming out for iOS and Android in July, and it will have all the features of the PC version but a different, more mobile-friendly interface.
