2024 is a big year for the political sphere, with general elections in both the UK and USA taking place. Democracy 4: Console Edition allows you to get up close and personal with the swathes of data, opinion polls and the like that a politician must constantly contend with, as you attempt to head up one of the world’s biggest nations. Will you prosper or flounder; sink or swim?
The Results are in…
Available now on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch consoles, following a very successful PC launch in 2022, Democracy 4 comes to you from Auroch Digital. Of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun fame among many other titles, Auroch have tasked you with getting involved in the most complex of political know-how.
Democracy 4 certainly isn’t a chill afternoon-type affair, as it will throw a multitude of graphs, projections, diagrams and tables in your face as you get to grips with how well your policies are being received.
Taking control of one of many different nations, you’ll first have to lay out your vision for the future of the country, before appointing staff appropriate for the job. Throw in the need to watch the budget, account for random and shocking events that may occur, all the while ensuring your public image stays in the green, and it all starts to resemble spinning many plates at once.
Of course, all your actions will come down to election day, where you await to see if you’ve been re-elected!

Game Description
Democracy 4: Console Edition lets you take the role of President or Prime Minister in one of ten countries. You will then govern the country as you see fit, while trying to retain enough popularity to get re-elected.
Democracy 4: Console Edition is the ultimate sandbox for testing out your political ideas. We all think that we could do a better job ourselves in running a country compared to politicians, but is that really true? With one eye on the budget, the other on the polls, and somehow finding time to watch out for terrorist attacks at the same time, you will find that staying in power while changing society for the better is a tougher job than you ever imagined.
