Community Insight:
Can yall make another game with the United States where we can have problems with states, bills, and much more interviews.
Could you keep the amount of credits needed at a standard price like 30 or smth Im wasting over half our screen time on ads alone.
We really enjoyed the game, the story and decision making was great. However it took almost an hour of watching ads to get the story points we needed to continue in the story in the later chapters, so we would like there to be either less ads or more story points per ad. Overall great game though.
This is fantastic, didnt think it would be this good.
Game and story are great, but youre killing us with ads just to replay. We recommend capping it at 20. We lost to Rumburg and am depressed that Isoef died.
We dont typically like to write reviews, but we adore this game! After a good friend of ours introduced it to us (He, ourselves, and our mutual friends started playing it as a group where we voice each character), we became hooked and sought it out. We found it here and decided to try it on our own. So far, we have gotten close to the end of the Sordland story as a financially inept, but well-intentioned Anton Rayne. For the Rizian side of things, we started the first chapter and fell in love with the writing. We have enjoyed the sense of humor in Romuss lines, and the emotional depth employed in the storylines. We would recommend this game in a heartbeat.
Its just a really good game. Its hard to pick up at first. Both campaigns are just really good and the plots are amazing. The story is also very well-made although there is one problem that isnt really a problem theres not really a lot of campaigns for how long its been out.
We completely and utterly love this game! This game is one of the best strategy games on mobile we have ever played. Sure there are some crashes when am on cellular data but we dont have the best data. But this game reminds us so much of heart of iron four but mobile which makes it even better because its free. The only real problem we have it with are the points when we need to spend before we switch turns and we like that you must complete all of the storyline before moving on but still the points are a little annoying. We think it would be cool to play more nations but all and all this is a top tier game and good job to the men and women who made it. Update: hello again we wanted to update this again and got to say still a amazing game everything is great a couple crashes here and there and we think they could update the budget a bit for sordland but still amazing and another thing if they added more nations like rumburg or pales and others if they added those this game can go to the next level for mobile games close to games like hearts of iron 4 all and all great game.
Hi developers, Ive been playing this game for about a couple of years we believe. Ive watched this game grow with every update. You guys have taught us a lot about politics. Coming back to this game is so different from before with new scenarios and new consequences. Its a bit overwhelming now, however thats politics. We just wanted to leave a thank you note for making an amazing game with an amazing story. From a long time fan, thank you.
A very good game but it constantly crashes especially with Rizia DLC.
But we kinda wish the sordland story was free. We dont have money and it kinda a lot to keep watching ads to keep playing the story of this fun game. Either way keep the good work and we hope more like this games comes out.
This game is the best game we have ever played and even though watching ads isnt fun, its definitely worth it.
Watched 60 ads straight just to see the ending of our sordland playthrough. W game, way too annoying many ads, devs got big brains for making it rewarded ads so they make more money. Also w game. If you like ads play this game, it breaks the record, no seriously it does. Must download this nobody cares about ads you get used to watching ads after spending 900 years watching ads. They now call us President rayAD.
This is hands down the best mobile game ever and dont get us wrong we like the new update for sordland but Ive beaten both stories multiple times so please at least lmk if you guys are working on another story cuz we dont want it we need it.
To anyone having problems with crashes: try limiting FPS since it doesnt matter anyway, that reduced the crashes for us somewhat.
Suzerain has become one of our top 10 favorite games because of how detailed and dynamic every aspect and decision it presents you. It cant wait to see how it ends. Vectern sis da.
Very early adopter of the pc version. Mobile is a great option. For free is a steal!! Cant wait to support this crew again.
Greatest game out there for us, we loved everything, from the plot to the creative decision making, Im fascinated, may this game grow in popularity and become a success. We beg the developers to commit and continue to nurture this project, it is amazing.
We really love playing Suzerain, but when we downloaded the new update, every time we would click on the app to play the game on mobile, it would always kick us out, and when we finally got to the screen and press load to play , it would just kick us out for no reason so please developers fix this bug or glitch. Please because we have not experienced the new update, and we have heard that the new update is really good and also we just wanted to let you know Im not a part of the discord or Reddit.
A fantastic political game where every response can result in a different outcome. We replayed the same conversation multiple times and was able to get a different response from the other ruler each time. What we love most about this game is how it challenges you, every conversation is important and decides the future of you and your people. Every decree has implications seen and unseen. The story creates so much tension, and makes it challenging to handle but not so difficult that you cant complete it. So far Ive only completed the Rizia storyline but WOW, what a story. Reclaim the glory of your past kingdom? Reform and create new ties with the east or west? Fortify your neighbors to become a strong local alliance? The choice is yours! The story left us craving more, wanting to play for 30 more years! PS the combat is simple but very very fun to play around with. Suggestions for developers: A Lespia storyline where you must fight economically to compete with Sordland? A storyline with the Free Cities, attempting to manage and unite them against a common enemy? A new continent with another storyline? SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! Also we did notice during the Rizia storyline if you assassinate the RPP radical via Mr. Montero, there is still an event where you arrest him later. Not game breaking because it results in the same. END OF SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! Thank you for making an amazing game! We will make sure to buy every storyline you put out.
We love this game so much and we especially love Rizia. We jsut wished that we could continue the story and play as Vina Toras and see how her story unfolds especially after we reformed rizian government for absolute authority to a democratic government.Other than that the game is amazing and we couldnt ask for a better game then this.
Started playing it back before 2.0 even dropped and have loved it ever since. Recently got it on mobile and was impressed by the quality. Check out the game, A Morgna Wes core; vectern sis da! Grorvius axa rizia.
Suzerain is a masterpiece Ive become obsessed with it. Every decision matters Every ending is different Playing it was the best decision we ever made.
This is the only game on mobile we can actually play for hours and hours and not be bored once 100% worth buying the full game.
We need another series where we are the president of the united states making decisions.
A truly wonderful game. It has crushed our soul, left us shocked, given us hope and a plethora of other good moments. It keeps growing with new content and Im excited to be back yet again for another play through.
This game is one of the best games we have ever played. It will make you addicted to it. If your the kind of person really want to know the experience of the daily lifes of presidents and monarchs in details through daily meetings and council meetings also there private lifes this game is for you , we mean literally when you go to other cities it mentions everything the motorcade the bodyguards.etc we just love how detailed it is , it makes you feel like your really a monarch or a president. We thank the team owning this game from the bottom of our heart and appreciate there hard work you guys just made our dream game true . It only misses one massive game-changing point and its the animation we just wish you could see the motorcade, bodyguards, counsil meetings, the palaces, the detailed meetings of other leaders from the beginning to the last, the coronation . We hope 4.0 will bring these things we mentioned above to life . Having these animated for the player seeing it in picture or even in 3D that would make it the top besssssssssst political game anyone could play . Thank you guys again.
The game is absolutely fun but it continues crashing after few meetings.
We love the game, its world building and story telling is phenomenal. The only thing we hate is the game keeps on crashing constantly.
We want to play it, it looks so fun but each time we try to load a game or make 1 it crashes.
We have no complaints regarding content itself, the game is phenomenal. However on the mobile platform it seems to have a severe problem with random crashes. We cannot play the game for long stretches without several crashes interrupting it.
This game is amazing!! One of the best out there! The only downside is it crashes a lot and specially on the Rizia DLC and we cant get past the tutorial for how the war mechanics work against the war of Pales. We hope Yall will go to console but other than the crashes its a great game.
We're a Chinese gamer. Your game is fascinating.and we like it very much. When could you upload the Chinese version of this game.
Suzerain is a game Ive pour countless hours into both on our computer and phone. We truly think Topor has shown themselves to be top-notch developers and storytellers! And its no surprise that creators of a game about governance has shown good management of their organization. But the mobile IOS version crashes constantly on our device. If the gem underneath that dirt wasnt so great we wouldnt put ourselves through the torture that is playing Suzerain Mobile. Hopefully they fix these issues soon.
Great game but please fix the crashing.
This is a great game but over the 2025 year the crashes of the game has made this game start to become unplayable, we always been loyal to this game, and we cant make excuses by blaming mobile phones, we have a great iPhone and these crashes always happens after 1 to 2 decisions, but its really worst at end game, we would be steps away from ending a story and it would crash over and over and over before it can even save, this game used to never do that, and we recognize all these updates without you fixing the crashes for mobile players, as we look trough these reviews saying the same thing, only reply we see is blaming it on the mobile device, before you continue adding more and more you must fix these problems before the game becomes unplayable and its close already, we hope we will get a response like we did those years ago about the rumburg war and become fixed like our other review. But we will always love this game.
Constant crashing. Ive done everything possible on our end to help but its still a bit annoying. We really like the game so we bear with it, but considering Ive paid for itwould be nice to not have to restart the game after each extended interaction. But otherwise, we really enjoy the game contents.
We LOVE this game but it seems there is a bit of a clear bias against capitalism, we wanted to completely shrink the state and get rid of entire ministries and allow the people to decide the economy for themselves but instead our only option was to decrease funding, everything that was related to capital was continuously seen as evil. And our economic minister only recommended pumping government money into the economy as the only safe measure to save the country, if we refused to do so then the economy just tanked. We dont think thats accurate at all and we feel that our playing style is being punished.
It seems like your forcing us to go down a certain path in the Riza story and its very frustrating, we get to the Queens Birthday and get all the houses on our side then end the event and then our game crashes. We love the game and believe you guys should go to console but this is frustrating its happened to us more than once. Multiple times during the return of Zillie.
Download this for the first time expecting a good experience for the first time we ever wanted to play. We were immediately hit we need to watch an ad before we can play and Im sorry the game looked good, but we dont think its worth to do that.
Suzerain is an AMAZING game but it crashes all the time. Hard to enjoy the hameplay when we keep having to re-load the app. Ugh.
Suzerain is great on pc. One of our favorite games. Unfortunately the mobile version crashes every few minutes, potentially losing progress. If it were fixed it would be an easy 5 star rating.
Good game but it crashes so much.
Its crashed 3 separate times following different paths, losing our progress each time.
This is a great political sim. However the app isnt worth your money or time. It crashes CONSTANTLY. We probably spend more time reloading the game than playing it. Update: now the app is bricked, and it wont load at all. Last time we had a game ruining bug like this, we reinstalled which fixed it and lost ALL our save games.
Starts fun, we paid for portions of the game and to be able to play without ads. The moment we started another game we have ads and limited amount of moves something is wrong with this games payment system. \also the game FORCES you to give into their pre determined outcomes, if we dont believe women should be in government, then the game will FORCE you to accept their characters desires. Its not a game of democracy, more like communist system where the elected leaders HAVE to conform to the will of the communist party agenda.. Screw you.
Hello, we just wanted to say that we truly enjoyed Suzerain its a brilliant and thoughtful game, and we sincerely appreciate all the work youve put into it. Thank you and well done! However, Ive encountered an issue where the game crashes during the story. It can be quite frustrating and breaks the immersion, especially during important moments. Also, Id like to suggest making communication with other countries more accessible maybe through a more straightforward option in the interface. Thank you for your time and dedication. We look forward to future updates.
The story is really well put together and Im excited for the next title, but Ive noticed the ads used to be 15-30 seconds and now theyre up to 60 seconds so we kinda give up after a few chapters.
You will find no better political strategy game out there! We are very impressed by the devs and look forward to new DLCs. Our hats off for this one.
This is a great political game had us wanting to play it more and more. Great storylines. Best RPG type mobile game out there. Bravo Torpor.
