This Is the President – Strategy Game Review
This Is the President is a Strategy/Simulation game from www.handy-games.com GmbH, first launched in 10th May 2022.
It’s rated 17+ and currently has 20+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes This Is the President Stand Out
This Is the President is a story-driven management game. In the year 2020, you are elected to be the President of the United States of America. To escape justice for your past crimes as a shady multi-millionaire businessman, you need to ratify Amendment 28 which would grant lifetime immunity to any President.
Manage your official and unofficial staff like a real mafioso to deal with all the old problems you’ve had in the past, as well as the shiny new problems that come with the office. You’ll battle with your competitors, the establishment, the media, and even foreign leaders.
In this political thriller-satire mix, the player's actions will inescapably lead to situations that escalate into absurd, terrifying, tragic, and even ridiculous situations.
But the road to lifelong immunity is full of pitfalls, and you’ll need to remember to clean up the daily messes that arise. Some might even call these distractions “presidential duties”.
There’s only one way out. Change the fabric of the Constitution of the United States by persuading, blackmailing, bribing, and bullying a large part of the political system into granting you lifelong immunity.
- Manage your approval rating, cash, and crew unlike any US President before – stay on top of your presidency by any means necessary
- Hold speeches, draft executive orders, manage daily crises, hold press conferences, and tweet better than any President before
- Hire a team of assassins, hackers, lobbyists, and other specialists. Send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by legal means. If that doesn’t work, send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by illegal means
- Experience a compelling interactive narrative with a wide variety of choices and story branches. Will you end your term on your terms, or are you just a pawn in a bigger game?
- Rule the country as a true mobster would with a shadow cabinet that is feared and respected on a global scale

Community Insight:
Hey been playing this game for a while and when we try to press continue it wont let us can u please fix this.
The game is actually very captivating and the story is very rich. We think that a little more variety would be nice, specifically having choices made earlier in your career influence future interactions a little more. Things such as relationships with Russia, Germany, Italy, etc. All having more lasting impacts would deepen the story even more and make it feel less scripted narrative as other reviews mention. Our only complaint is that there are several typos, most of which are minor but definitely can be a minor distraction. A few side quests that never unlock without certain characters or choices could also add a little extra replay ability, but we dont see that as an issue, just something that would be nice.
Gripping and inspiring. The story is amazing and was very obviously crafted with love and attention. Dialogue reads like poetry and the highs are high. Soundtrack also slaps.
An excellent game that is well put together. It's like a breath of fresh air from all the zombie killing shoot "em up, love story puzzle games online. It has it all- part west wing, part mystery, part espionage, part thriller part role play .This game is captivating. As President of the United States,the power is in your hands to lead the country .Every decision you make has consequences both good and bad.Definitely 5 stars .Highly recommended.
So much potential so little game. The choices arent actual choices. This game is a narrative with very like control over the direction of the game. Boring.
Nothing but read, make a choice, then do it again thats it, so boring.
