Doesnt capture the magic of the original.

The first dictator had three categories and you had to satisfy them all to be in power as long as you can. It was beautiful in its simplicity. It was addictive as hell and endlessly replayable. It was one of my favorite games on the App Store. So when I saw a sequel on the top 100 I had to get it immediately, thinking it would be something like the original. However its much too complicated and I couldnt even get myself to get that far into it before deleting. It was a massive disappointment. Instead of a brilliant strategy game like the first one, it fell into the modern iOS game tropes of maintaining something while collecting coins and pay to play aspects. And for combat against other countries, the thing I was most excited about, is ruined by a stupid card combat system that takes all the fun out of conquering. You might like it if youre into over complicated war games, but this shouldnt be called dictator 2, its unrecognizable.
