Sparks of Revolution rages class struggle -apkrig
Your country is in a deep political crisis. You are the mayor of the capital and you are facing social unrest. “What price will you pay to save your nation from anarchy?” asks the Belarusian Lapovich Team, which is behind the game Kapital: Sparks of Revolution. It is supposed to be a sandbox economic simulation. It is said that we cannot prevent a crisis, but we can survive it. We have difficult times and difficult decisions ahead of us. Who will live and who will die will determine the future of the country.
It will therefore not only be about building the city, but also about class struggle and suppression of protests.
Your city was destroyed during the First World War. Your job is to restore it, but you only have limited resources to meet the needs of your people. The conflict is thus set up. It will therefore not only be about building the city, but also about class struggle and suppression of protests. It is basically a city builder, of course, but combined with a social manager, say the developers.
The society is divided into three classes – the nobility, the bourgeoisie and the workers. The nobility consists of rich and educated people who have their privileges from birth. According to the authors, members of the bourgeoisie have gained the status and property of works and happiness. Workers are to be ordinary people without property and education. But everyone is looking for a better tomorrow.
The prosperity and prosperity of the city will be hindered by the fact that you do not have enough resources. You have to decide who to feed and who not. It is said that not everyone can be happy and dissatisfied people take to the streets. The player can decide which class to support and which not. You can pass new laws that will shape your society, and ultimately decide which class will be dominant in your new political system.
Kapital has a relatively interesting two-dimensional graphic, which seems to have fallen out of a picture book. On the other hand, players also notice various shortcomings, especially in the animations. Just look at the movement of the characters in the game or the wheels of the oncoming locomotive at the beginning of the trailer.
Demanding fabric
But by far the biggest problem will be getting rid of such a game of some political labels, beliefs and agitation, if at all possible. Given the chosen topic, this seems almost impossible to me, although it is not possible to predict from the current information whether one approach will be more correct from the point of view of the game than another. But the topic itself is definitely interesting.
Kapital: Sparks of Revolution will be released on PC this fall. The game is released by 1C Entertainment and more demos can be found on YouTube.
