I played the Evil Genius demo ages ago, and had a few problems with the system. Mastermind: World Conqueror does not have those problems at all, and is easily a better game (compared to demo, at least). It isn't perfect, a few minor issues, but 4/5 because it is very fine. I'd probably buy this game for $10-$15 so I could save progress (assuming I can't at the moment).
