GamersHell has reviewed Elixir Studios' Republic: The Revolution...

Describing a game like Republic: The Revolution is no easy task. The project began several years ago, after Demis Hassabis, a man who became a chess master at the age of twelve, founded Elixir Studios. After having made Theme Park at the age of seventeen, and sometime later graduating from Cambridge in computer science, he got an ambitious game design idea that would end up keeping him and his studio working for several years.

The idea was to make a game of political intrigue, action and interesting gameplay. The game was to take place in a remote Soviet republic called Novistrana, and you were to start a revolution against the evil ruler and his oppressive regime. Why you? Well, when you were young your parents were kidnapped by the very same man who sits with the power today, and just then you decided you’d get revenge – somehow.
