This is funny and sad at the same time – Idle Empires Review

I know it’s “just a game” but there’s truth in fiction. And the reason this is funny is because it’s true. Our leaders create demand for things we don’t need. They tell us the other guy over there is dangerous because he looks different. Our leaders attack other people and when those people react, we’re told that they hate us and want us to die. At the end of the day, everyone was doing fine but then a few people decided they need more power, more wealth, more, more, like some kind of mental illness. So they started getting more by any means, and each time people start to be filled with unrest, they figure out some new way to placate or distract us. So the game is cute. The poor steward is trying to bring sanity back at every turn, but it doesn’t take long to see this cute little pixelated king is power mad and full of greed. It’s a good game. Well done.
