Story

The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with neighboring Kolechia and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin.

Your job as immigration inspector is to control the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists.

Using only the documents provided by travelers and the Ministry of Admission's primitive inspect, search, and fingerprint systems you must decide who can enter Arstotzka and who will be turned away or arrested.

Finally a mobile port that lives up to the hype created by the original. Great gameplay, great port. Well done to the team.

It's a fun game but everytime I play endless perfection on the third highest complication, it crashes around level 80. It's happened twice now. Also, can you please add in some new and funny reactions from the NPCs? Overall, it's a fun and addictive game.

Just like the original game, 4 out of 5 only because I feel like they could have made the moble format a little easier to use, but for a computer game gone mobile its easy to get used to but harder on the smaller screen.
