SuperPower 3

Strategy is a core element in many genres of games, but it is rare to see games that really do depend on strategy only throughout the whole title. It is more common to see in games like real-time strategy titles and management simulators. These have a niche audience that enjoys the rather slow-paced decision-making process that comes with this genre of games. Today we're talking about the third entry on a franchise that's been out of the scene for nearly two decades, but it's finally coming to the light once again. SuperPower 3 is the title, and it's developed y GolemLabs and published by THQ Nordic.

It's understandable if you have not heard from this franchise since it's been out of the scene for s many years now, but it was once a big name in the genre. So, what is SuperPower 3 all about? Well, let's talk about it.

About the game

SuperPower 3 is the third entry in the franchise, and even though it releases nearly two decades after the second game, it maintains the core gameplay system of the other two games. this means that it is still a strategic game with a lot of management elements. It prides itself in being the most accurate geopolitical simulation currently in the gaming world.

As you may imagine, SuperPower 3 is a game perfect for those who see the world and think it would be much better if they were in charge. This simulation is finally an opportunity for them to take on the wheel and prove what they are made of, and see if it were as easy as they thought it would be to solve all the problems in the world. Run the politics, economy, and even the military of your country and see how far can you get.

The game presents unprecedented freedom that gives the players a lot of chances to tackle all the situations in whatever way they see fit. You can take on the issues however you want to, but remember that ruling isn't just centered on solving all the big, global issues, there's a lot of management on the smaller scale that you'll need to do in order to rule successfully. Every choice will fall entirely on your hands, it's up to you to find the best solution for each one. Do you have what it takes to change the world?

More than war

When you think of this type of something like Civilization might come to mind, and it makes sense, it is, after all, the closest example we have to a game like SuperPower 3. These games have a lot in common since you are not only focused on conquering through a war like in the game Risk, in these titles you have to establish diplomacy. The main difference is that SuperPower 3 doesn't focus on such large periods of time as Sid Meier's Civilization VI does. it is more centered on the now.

Review: 8/10

SuperPower 3 is an excellent game if you feel like you can solve all of the world's biggest issues. It really does offer a lot of freedom and liberty to act as you see fit in the situations at hand.
