EDIT: They only recently added Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, so this is outdated. Also to clarify: I meant genuine political games that aren't meme tastic. Political games are hard to come by on Steam. This one, I was very disappointed by. First of all, I understand that it's in Early Access. No brainer whatsoever. But the dire selection of characters from the get go is disappointing. We're even given the option to play Obama? This is over Bernie Sanders or Ted Cruz, or whoever. I'm not expecting Political Machine levels of depth but it's silly. Especially when I run against Trump, Obama and another weird version of Hillary? It feels like a lack of care has gone into it. The lock feature is broken as hell, I can't secure my city at all. The character models look ugly. Trump has cargo pants? Hillary doesn't look like Hillary? They have a really annoying squeaky effect on voices, I'd rather have the unaltered voice. Animations for the UI aren't good. Game mechanics aren't properly expl...

About This Game
Megalo Polis gives you a taste of the insanity by throwing you onto the political trail, rubbing elbows, overselling scant promises, and engineering scandals to become the next President of the United States of America.
There’s no rest on the campaign trail in this quick-witted RTS. You’ll need to think fast to recognize and seize opportunities to spread your influence… with maybe just a touch of manipulation.
Any great (white) house sits atop a solid foundation. Build your campaign from the ground up as you identify key states, political allies and amass a loyal group of supporters to spread your word and do your bidding. But that’s only leg one of this political race. To truly achieve greatness, you’ll need to outsmart and outmaneuver your equally hungry rivals.
Budget your time and your wallet as you persuade voters to vote in your favor, by any means necessary. Whether you’re making it rain on impressionable students or spreading seedy gossip, you’ll want to make it clear you deserve to be top dog. Who said political campaigns were clean business?
Do you have what it takes to decide the nation’s future?

Warning:This is an early access game. This review is also in an early state. The American Election is a great topic .And it also have an interesting core mechanic in this game. But at current state.it isn't a good game. You can go to 50 states of America(as 50 or less stage and developers says they will make more special rules at each state)With your three AI Opponent. You must convert more citizen than them to win the battle,At last you can win the election. The way to convert the citizens into your team is:stand still to make a speech... Actually,that's not a bad idea. But when your control is awkward, the mechanic seems too weak to play. The mouse control will make wrong route 50% of all time. the speed is too slow sometimes. The competitive part of this mechanic seems frustrated. And there doesn't have many ways to directly attack the AI. The AI still have some bug,which will ruin the experience. If you can make their own personal style into the gameplay more, and make them can...
The concept of the game is fantastic and gets you hooked right off the bat, however, the it can become a bit repititive as the game progresses. The cartoonish gameplay keeps the player entertained, great move by the developers incorporating tacky campaign speech by the candidates, very funny. The game in its current state is great but I expect more to come once the game is fully polished and released. The time zones in each state add a sense of urgency when campaigning and certainly applies the pressure; I enjoy the tackiness, the cartoony enviroment, and the overall concept of the game. All I ask from the game devs is to alleviate some of the repititiveness of the game by providing the player with more features than just going disctrict by district and hoping the voters rally around you, even though that's kinda what the candidates are doing IRL. I appreciate the random scenarios the game provides the player with when campainging, such as accepting the support of a star or making p...
