Summary
Following the fall of the mighty Soviet Union, dozens of autonomous states have sprung up from the crumbling remnants. One small Republic, Novistrana, has become a hive of brutality and corruption. A ruthless dictator, Vassily Karasov, rules the country with an iron fist and a control based on fear and oppression. With a personal vendetta against him and seeds of discontent spreading throughout the nation, now is the moment to seize power and liberate the masses. Time to start a revolution…
Starting with a single loyal supporter, you must create a powerful nationwide faction strong enough to oust the President. Using a combination of influence, wealth and force you must attempt to gain the allegiance of prominent public figures including members of the secret police, councillors, celebrities, priests, and criminals. Hundreds of diverse actions enable you to order and manipulate the masses, from rallies and riots to constructing crime syndicates, holding charity galas, organising secret police 'hits' or broadcasting news propaganda.
Revolutionary AI techniques create living and breathing individual citizens to inhabit the cities of Novistrana. Each person will have detailed daily routines and their own set of beliefs and loyalties that govern their behaviour, producing consistent and realistic reactions to situations that arise in the game.
Republic: The Revolution is powered by an extremely advanced proprietary graphics engine - 'Totality'. Capable of rendering an unlimited number of polygons in real time, the engine allows millions of polygons to be used to model each building or character. The 'Totality' engine is capable of smoothly zooming from rooftop images of a city to focus on minute details on the buildings, people and vehicles in the game. This allows for gameplay to be stunningly realised with a cinematic quality and feel, as the hand-scripted camera captures the key moments of every action.
