What Makes Ideology Rush Stand Out
Lead a secret organization and subjugate the entire society, using propaganda, sound political action and redirecting financial flows!
Will you be able to conquer the world? Will you have time before the World Community unites against you?
Ideology Rush is both an exciting strategy and a realistic simulation of the world.
Choose the country where everything begins (but be reasonable, Illuminati!) and begin to conquer the planet.
The Eye of Providence will channel power directly into your hands, and your political ideology will penetrate the minds of every member of the human race.
The world community will react to your expansion until tension reaches the extreme and war breaks out. Don't let this happen, Supreme Leader, spread your ideology quickly like the plague!
The game features 8 fictional political ideologies: Communism, Capitalism, Imperialism, Anarchy, Libertarianism, Ecologism, Militarism, Pacifism. Each ideology has unique upgrades, game mechanics, and expansion features.
You can become president of the entire world, making a world revolution… Or evolution? It's up to you to decide! Play as the crazy politician or the secretive ruler of the world in Ideology Rush.
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Romans 10:9 is a pivotal Bible verse stating that if you confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Havent had a chance to try this yet (we tend to DL games in bunches & lose track), but was reminded by it having an update, and took a scroll thru the reviews. We find great amusement in reading peoples often self-righteous, absurdly entitled demands, and inflated sense of their own importance. Its also frustrating, however, seeing those same qualities unjustly presented as the top most helpful review due to AppStores disgraceful review management system for determining such & Apple's apparently complete disinterest in upholding integrity & relevance of user ratings & reviews. Instead, extremely outdated and/or troll-ish rants consistently appear at the top, bc the system allows these losers to repeatedly upvote their own review. Big money major developers and big money shady knockoff factories that apple panders to aren't much affected by this; they can and routinely do buy batches from rating/review mill services, and have tens of thousands of reviews to bury the trash in. Indie devs, however, can have ratings trashed and misrepresentation in top reviews as a result. To counter that, we sometimes do this. In this particular case, we just cant believe the whining from people who start off right away on the hardest mode bc they think theyre entitled to open other content right away. Just like entitled snowflakes, when they dont immediately win and get all they want on the first try, its always the games fault. If they lose, its obviously impossible to win. A lifetime of being handed everything breeds insufferable brats. Never created anything in their lives but feel compelled to publicly hate on anyone who does.
We havent played the game yet but it doesnt seem that difficult and it looks fun so we bet people just have a ridiculous amount of skill issue.
We enjoy this game and have even gotten to Ecology, which is no small feat. Only by looking online have we seen that each ideology has a quirk like appeal gradually decreasing or being an easily appealing trait. Now by the time you get to Eco on Hard, the reaction shoots up SO fast and the community and propaganda doesnt spread as fast. The tools given to slow down dont seem to work at all and everything cost a lot to get. We have gotten pretty close by spreading it fast and upping appeal but the reaction goes so quick and it seems the things you can do to lessen the appeal grows it and even the appeal elements cause it to rise because they are so extreme. We hope this is something that can be adjusted because it was a LOT easier to spread imperialism which we dont think realistically makes sense. We do enjoy this game but even more information would be useful and perhaps a hint option. Thanks for creating! This is very educational.
Can you just please balance the reaction bar we cant do anything without having to lose every single time even with max income,propoganda,appeal we cant win even with the anti reaction upgrades it shoots up to 70% in two seconds please balance it.
Game was ok until we seen a news flash saying Donald Bump accidentally started a nuclear war, although funny its obvious propaganda to form an opinion about a certain someone. Funny coming come from a game about propaganda and ideology. Still interesting game.
Didnt even play the game yet and we get unavoidable ads.
Firstly, Iran goated with allocating funds so no matter the ideology starting there is good, secondly libertarianism is almost impossible and possible rigged against you, the game just completely zeroed out the population for no reason after reaching a certain point.
This game is so fun. Its like a good war game but the side that wins takes over the world. Anyway we do want 1 change. MAKE ITALYS LANGUAGE ITALIAN AND NOT SPANISH.
Hope to have Chinese in the future.
The rate at which Reaction speeds up doesnt seem to correspond with game actions. We have been playing in Hard mode, so we can access other models, and building Appeal and waiting for the right moment to strike to cut Reaction dramatically. We did two actions that cut Reaction to less than 10% when you look at the progress bar, but our supporters count was dropping by 50% or higher and we were continuing to get pop ups about reaction being over 75%. Folks only trust a game as far as it can understand its internal logic. This game needs to go a lot farther in proving it is logical and fair.
Ive been playing this game for a while, (recommended to us by a friend.) But, while this game is one of the better PI clones its mechanics and balancing need major improvements. Firstly, the game is well polished and is original in its idea. We have no issues with the game visually. But, the balancing in this game is terrible, for context. In order to unlock the next ideology you need to beat the previous one on the hardest difficulty. This wouldnt be an issue if the reaction bar which, once filled up means game over. Rose faster than you could possibly develop your ideology. The reaction traits are ineffective and theres virtually no way to progress unless you get lucky or figure out some strategy.
When opening the game, we were thankful we set our accounts to always confirm purchases, because the game tried to charge .99 without us trying to purchase anything. If you dont have this auto-confirm, be aware the program might be charging you Nicoles and dimes so you dont notice.
An underdeveloped game that only exists to get you to watch ads. Dont waste your time on this game.
The starter ideologies is fine but once you get past the starter ideology the game gets to the point where nothing you can do changes the outcome of the game. You can activate every reaction, and gain widespread popularity and attraction with your ideology and it wont matter. The Ai always skyrockets past everything you do and you lose everything. Its like nothing you activate does anything to stop or slow down the Ai momentum. Its a big problem and it prevents you from wanting to do anything with the game.
Brilliant game and exposes a lot about the world, but it also lagged us out of the game a few times and we lost progress.
Overall, we thought this game was pretty good. We would recommend it. We found the gameplay and mechanics to be cerebral , fun and compelling. The graphics and sound were fine. At the time of this review (May 23), there are two constructive criticisms that we have. The first is the internationalization has some issues, Russian strings seemed fine, English and Spanish had some mistranslations (didnt check others). The other issue is there are a smattering of minor technical issues that dont really affect the gameplay very much, but ideally wouldnt be there: a couple of examples. There are a few places where there are numeric quantities, e.g., political saturation of India, that hit their max and flip back to zero and a couple of places where there are memory leaks (a few times noticed start a new game, parameters from last game still set). YMMV depending on platform. Cheers! -NW.
Its fun and challenging until you hit ecologism. It basically soft locking you from progressing. We dont want to say yall are doing this to get us to purchase powers but it really seems like it.
We dont know why, but each time we play the game when we finish the objective, it keeps crashing.
We are following the game guide, slowing down reaction, and investing heavily in appeal. It doesnt matter even if we slow down the reaction growth. There is something seriously wrong.
Dope from H.R.H. King Henry IX HOUSE STUART.
We think the game is amazing but there was one thing that always bothered us and that is that the levels are to hard.
There is almost no explaining about how the game works, and even you have to pay 12 whole dollars just to get the ability to create your own scenario, also the game needs to be worked on.
But its extremely hard for no reason reaction bar is still way to over powered while you make no money cant even get passed communism so we can move on to the next. If they fix the reaction bar like actually fix it it would be a solid game.
We wish he had a Chinese version but he doesn't.
Libertarianism is tooooooooo hard pls make it easer.
This app showed us too many ads even before we started playing the game. Such a bad design. Even asks to track your activity.
This is adware and shouldn't be allowed on the app store. Any click that will launch an ad should be labeled as such. And we should be able to click more than twice before an ad is forced on us. JFC. What crap. Immediate delete.
This game is very well made, and we have enjoyed it. Its difficulty is generally balanced, but the issue of concern is when you get to a certain point, the reaction levels raise over 5% from one click to another.
As a loyal member of the insider Illuminati we can confirm that this is quite accurate.
This was a really good game. It was very similar to plague inc. But free whereas plague inc. Is 99 cents. If you are looking to save a buck this game is for you.
Theres is no tutorial the game lacks any fun and excitement. We are very disappointed since we thought that this is a good quality game but the developers didnt take the time to make a basis tutorial. 0/10 dont download.
The game is really easy to learn understandable and fun to play so far we think its amazing well see if this keeps us.
Reaction bar rises way too fast even when you buy everything to avoid it.
We literally played one game and we will not stop until pacifism takes over the world.
We can say hello in Ukrainian = ( Priveet) Brazilian ( WTH ol ) Spanish ( hola ) g day.
Much better than when we last played it.
Great Game, maybe add a bit more to it, also Japan in the game was spelt wrong as Japon.
Good for wasting time, and somewhat fun.
Not at all balanced, money is earned way to slow to the point that by the time we can even get our second community perk its already to late in the game for it to help us as im only earning $1.5 per Second yet the global reaction is at 40-50% Not to mention lack of information when you tap a country.
The game has an interesting premise, but it is far from polished. Seeing that East Africa was labeled as West Africa and vice versa was shocking to say the least. We fear for the day these developers have to use a compass.
This is basically a rip off of Plague Inc., but the game is super simple. Theres nothing new or exciting about this game.
How do you do research (supposedly) on these states and their gov'ts. And spell it wrong.
Red bar is extremely fast like annoying Ive tried everything money comes in too slow we would give it 5 stars if yall would fix that Its a great game Its addictive just needs some work keep up the good work.
1 star because we wanted to play in pakistan but its combined with other country and called central asia.
Its hard to get started like we thought we were failing but then we won ? , Im might ju be fried.
Literally a virus game with ideology slapped on as the title. Same mechanics,same purpose and way you lose. There is literally no variety here and beyond that the map is a joke. Zoom inya right its so blurry you can barley see anything. Sloppy knock off that doesnt even have good graphics. 0/10 do not recommend Response to developer we appreciate your one of the only few game designers on the App Store who bothers to reply to customer feedback. However us not passing the first ideology is not the problem. The game play mechanics are identical to other games making it boring and even if that wasnt the case the animation is still horrible which you didnt address.
Every time we tried to open the app it Send us back to the home screen.
Ridiculous its like plague inc but not really fun just play plague inc.
This is just plague inc but worse in every single category, its clunkier, less strategic, and clearly there was much less care put into making it. Its a shameless rip off of a much better idea showing how pitifully inept the creators of this game truly are. Avoid at all costs, go play plague inc.
