Bush, and Mike Pence. Don’t like any of the current candidates? No problem, just create your own and adopt some truly wild ideologies (ban all video games - they’ll rot your brain)! The Political Machine 2020 features unique ideology trees for candidates, allowing for unique experiences each and every playthrough! Earn ideology points from Town Halls and use them to own certain issues. Play as Bernie Sanders and take ownership of the ‘Medicare for All’ issue, or play as Donald Trump to own ‘Build the Wall’. It’s important to win 270 votes in the electoral college, so you’ll need to pay attention to what issues voters care about in the swing states. What plays well in Texas or California might hurt you in Ohio or Florida! Do you think you have what it takes? Take to the campaign trail and show the nation why you should be the next President of the United States of America! CORE FEATURES ● Spread your Ideology - Participate in Town Hall events to earn ideology points and solidify your position on hot issues with your voters. ● Generate Enthusiasm - Use your power and money to purchase ads to discredit your opponent and influence voters. The greater enthusiasm your base has for an issue, the more effective your ad campaigns will be. ● Participate in Interviews - Accept invitations to various talk shows across the country in order to share your opinion on issues important to the American people. ● Choose your Candidate - Play as one of several candidates, each with their own custom stats like stamina, intelligence, charisma, media bias, and more. ● Manage your Campaign Budget - Purchase advertisements, travel across the country to campaign, and hire operatives to enhance your PR or cripple your opponent. Be wary - if you overspend and need extra cash, it might come from somewhere that will shake voters’ confidence in you! ● Create a Candidate - Customize your own front runner and race for the White House. ● Practice your Politics - A sophisticated underlying simulation model uses census data and real issues to test your political savvy. ● Be Ready for Anything - Torrid affairs, natural disasters, email scandals, and other “breaking news” events can pop up and change the direction of the campaign for better or worse.

Genre:Simulation, Strategy Release:Jul 15, 2020 Updated:Jul 27, 2020 Version:1.0.3 Size:202.3 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal StratAll Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2009 160 17 18 #2 StratAll, Jul 15, 2020 I played a few turns and I'm quite disappointed with this mobile version of the PC game 'The Political Machine'. This version only costs 1 EUR, but a lot of the candidates are behind DLC of 2 or 3 EUR. That in itself is OK, however gameplay itself seems quite dumbed down. For starters, your candidate moves across the map independently. You don't decide where he goes. The only 'action' you can take in states are hiring operatives or placing ads. In the PC version you can build different stages of HQ which impact your talking points. Also raising funds is dependent on state wealth and where and how often you visit influences your popularity in that state. As it seems, the 'strategy' you can employ to win the election is severly hampered by these limited options. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
