This will drastically affect your reputation with the world at large, and people will criticize you heavily. You will try and wrong foot opposing nations, increase your sphere of influence, sweat-talk other major nations into joining your cause, or maybe even launch a nuclear attack on another country. Throughout, you will be managing economic, political, military and social ties of your nation. However, make no mistake- the campaign alone will keep you more than involved. I know this game is basically about the Cold War, and these were the only countries directly involved in the event, but it would have been nice to also have the option to play as other countries and deal with their problems during that period of time- having other scenarios like the Indo-Pakistan war, or the Vietnam war, or other major events during this time would have given the game more depth and replay value.
However, the fact that you can only choose between the USSR and US in the campaign can feel pretty restrictive sometimes. Just like Hearts of Iron III, the politics involved is engrossing and one of the high points of the game. If you encourage them, similar kind of politics comes into play. If you condemn them, their might always be the fear that you’re loosing a potential ally, or conversely, you might be defacing a nation that is siding with the opposition.
Then it is up to you to either condemn them or encourage their actions. A country might do something, like attack another one without any warning whatsoever.
As the title suggests, the game is about the Cold War- it lets you choose between either the US or the USSR to play as in the campaign, and then you basically use things like stealth, diplomacy, trade or all out war to improve your reputation with the other countries of the world, and also try to gain the upper hand against the opposition. One of the first things you notice is how deep and authentic Supreme Ruler’s gameplay is- it requires a lot of mental exercise, and there are more facets to it than you can imagine.
