    A first look at an upcoming game that has elements of Papers Please and We. The Revolution. For the People is a interesting role playing game and strategy game that puts you in the shoes of a mayor in a fictional communist country that looks and feels a lot like the Soviet Union. There are Stalinist and late 1980s reform elements of this game and it looks like something challenging and interesting to try to master all the personalities and decisions you must make through the course of this cerebral game.
    For the People is an acute social novel with strategic elements, in which you take control of the newly appointed mayor of a small industrial city. Will the party provide for the people, or are the people just cogs in its machine? The choice is yours, comrade!

    Regarding the dates. I assume the idea is that Steel has been ruling for 15 years, but that doesnt mean he is in charge when the revolution happned (much like lenin ruled before Stalin). So the revolution must have happned 50-60 to years before the events of the game.

    the fact that the game is not historical at all kind of takes away the allure, at least for me. With that said, great to see a game here that is not only about leading troops in one war or the other.

      Agreed, it was a tad confusing in the setup, but I figured it out... eventually. Sometimes text heavy games are hard to cover live because you can't realistically pause for 60 seconds every minute to read the next paragraph. Sorry for any confusion.

    Out of curiosity would local governments in the USSR be led by one individual appointed by the central government or would they be picked by the local party officials?

    @StrategyInformer-sjgold Před 4 lety +1

    @thehistoricalgamer As I understand it the game has heavy visual novel features and I don't want to watch the video to spoil anything.So my question is, is there strategic value here? Or is it just a ramped up papers please?

    • @thehistoricalgamer
      @thehistoricalgamer  Před 4 lety +2

      There's a resource management element that becomes more apparent in episode 2 (will come out tomorrow), so there's definitely traditional strategy game elements to pair with the visual novel pieces.

    • @thehistoricalgamer
      @thehistoricalgamer  Před 4 lety +1

      I haven't gotten far enough in either case to really spoil anything as I'm really not making major decisions yet (I don't think so anyway) but there's some nice foreshadowing, and what not on some characters that's intriguing.

      @GoznerPeter Před 4 lety +2

      At this point I am sure you have finished it, since the game is about 3 hours long. The game was a huge disappointment. Nothing you do has any consequences. Resource managing is a joke , it even hurts me that someone considered this will please someone who is older than 5 . Do not buy.

    I think this game would be better if the designers decided that it is a communism simulator and set it in a Stalinist Soviet Union. This beating around the bush is getting old real fast.

    • @thehistoricalgamer
      @thehistoricalgamer  Před 4 lety

      I'm not sure what you mean by that. it's very clearly a communist state that you're a part of the communist party, its basically late 1980s Soviet Union, with reform candidates, though perhaps Stalin is still the leader? It feels late 80s Soviet Union but the Steel character sure sounds like Stalin so I guess well see.

      @@thehistoricalgamer I only mean that deciding to make it communism but in some imaginary country is distracting and confusing. Even you were confused about the dates. It seems to me that the way the game is now set is diffusing and distracting: setting the game in a historical context of the Soviet Union and simulating the historical Soviet bureaucracy would make it a much more focused, interesting game. The more precise historical context would make it easier for player to orient him-/herself.

      @@KrolPotato the game is ahistoric as it is. Setting it in real world would make it even less accurate, since there is no way the developers could give an unbiased and informed presentation of Soviet history.

    Игра неплохая, рисовка понравилась, но как и во всех играх есть одно НО(). Очень много текста, для неспешного прохождения пойдет, но события развиваются крайне медленно. Стал записывать прохождение этой игры по просьбе знакомых, буду и вас видеть на своем канале, а вам спасибо за ваш обзор на игру, палец вверх.

      This is from a live stream and unfortunately reading large blocks of text is not something that most people want to watch live. I can probably edit things down further if I do it off stream, which I likely will do for this game as it seems interesting.

      I’m not sure, I think it’s an anti USSR game but the USSR was an abysmal failure regardless of your view on communism.
