Sejm The Game Build 20480226

Sejm The Game (listed on Steam as Politics The Game) is a brash, satirical single‑player adventure that lets you step into the chaotic world of Polish parliamentary politics - and do it with powers that range from the absurd to the downright theatrical. If you’ve ever wanted to found a political party, manage popularity and dignity meters, and settle disputes with manure and magic, this is the game that delivers that exact combination.
What it is
- A turn‑based adventure / tactics game in which you play as a Member of Parliament, recruit allies, and try to build the most powerful political party in Poland. The story and characters riff on contemporary Polish politics and public figures, presented with a broad, no‑one‑is‑safe sense of humor.
Gameplay highlights
- Party building and progression: Create your own party, pick familiar‑looking MPs with unique stats and abilities, and climb the polls. Choices matter: popularity wins votes, but losing your self‑respect can force your character to resign.
- Tactical combat: Encounters are turn‑based and demand strategy - every move should be weighed for political advantage as well as immediate effect.
- Special moves and allies: The game leans into satire with outrageous abilities (burying opponents in a mountain of manure, the Speaker’s Staff shockwave, mysterious incantations from a mustachioed gentleman in a bow tie) and powerful cameo allies that can swing key battles.
- Variety: Puzzles and mini‑games test reflexes, timing and creativity, breaking up the combat and keeping the pace lively.
- Tone and story: A comic, sometimes outrageous take on real‑world events, aiming to parody all sides of the political spectrum.
Strengths
- Strong comedic identity: The game’s humor and parody are consistent and bold, which will appeal to players who enjoy political satire.
- Accessible yet deep: Easy to pick up, with mechanics that scale in difficulty for players seeking a real strategic challenge.
- Distinct character abilities and party customization give you meaningful tactical choices.
Possible drawbacks
- The satire is very specific; players unfamiliar with Polish politics may miss some references, though the core gameplay remains entertaining.
- The crude, exaggerated humor and some mechanics (like dignity as a game mechanic) may not appeal to everyone.
Verdict
Sejm The Game is a clever, tongue‑in‑cheek political adventure that blends turn‑based tactics with social satire. It’s best for players who enjoy strategy with a heavy dose of absurd humor and who don’t take politics too seriously. If you like games that lampoon current events while offering solid tactical play and party management, this one is worth a look.
