About

A fast-paced satirical RTS, Megalo Polis challenges you to oust your rivals as you scramble to sway voters across the country, all while fighting the clock and managing your wallet. Anything goes in the dog-eat-dog world of politics―extort, bribe, or even frame your opponents so they spend a little time in jail. Heck, break all the rules and run for a third term as Obama!
