Rogue State is an interesting take on the strategy genre. You are the new ruler of a broken state just recently taken from the grasp of a vicious dictator and you must decide the future of this state by passing only the best legislation as fast as your tiny, politician hands can. Scramble with factions, oil hungry American ambassadors, and disloyal cabinet members as you try to keep your country afloat for as long as humanly possible, or die trying!

While the game is very strong in gameplay, it lacks a sense of urgency when telling the story. It starts off strong with an interview concerning your character's part in the revolution and mentioning how your brother was expected to lead instead of you, setting up a plot about your reign of power and your jealous brother's attempt to overthrow you. However, the game only truly integrates the story through stylized text screens accompanied by art describing the scene. While this is interesting to look at, it makes the story feel rather detached from the game.

The the graphics are another interesting point, as the game switches between artistic text screens too a cell shaded-like style of in game graphics. Well these may not meet the standards of current generation graphics, for an indie game such as this the visuals suffice. The sound design was also handled rather well and I am happy to report that there are no sound or visual glitches that I encountered.
