Unprecedented Geopolitical Strategy Gameplay

With nearly all present-day countries and regions represented, players can choose their desired region and take control of its finances, industries, military, research, and diplomacy. The game features variable speed real-time gameplay, allowing for actions to be taken while paused for strategic planning, as well as faster speeds to witness the unfolding action. Government ministers are available to assist players in managing their desired aspects, offering automation for less crucial decisions.
Successful Demo Scenario during Steam NextFest
During the recent Steam NextFest event, BattleGoat Studios provided a Demo scenario titled “Battle of Russia,” which garnered significant attention from thousands of strategy game enthusiasts. This scenario portrayed a near-future crisis and civil war following the death of President Vladimir Putin. The full game of Supreme Ruler 2030 will include four future Campaigns and four Sandbox maps, featuring a range of settings such as an isolationist near-future world in 2030, a Sandbox based on the current geo-political conditions of 2023, and a “Shattered World” future where nations have descended into regional conflicts.
Enhanced Features and Improved Experience
Building upon the success of previous titles, Supreme Ruler 2030 introduces a rebuilt game engine with 64-bit support, DirectX 11 graphics, and an advanced AI system for both military and country management. The game boasts various visual improvements, including enhanced lighting, effects, water, and terrain, delivering a more immersive and visually appealing experience. Performance improvements enable faster gameplay, allowing players to engage in their strategies more efficiently. Furthermore, the game offers revised storylines, military inventory, research tree, country relationships, and heads of state, creating a fresh and novel Supreme Ruler experience.
