About Ventura Inc
Ventura Inc is an economic simulation in a consistent multiplayer world. (MMO)
As a player you'll be running a company, signing contracts with other players involving the exchange of goods and services.
In this simulation, you are, just like in the real world, doing business with other player companies to make your profit.
It is possible to choose who you deal with and who's pricing you'll try to undercut. There are different business branches available from where you can make your money:
Most of the branches need other branches to function. As an example: to generate power you have to rely on storage as well as oil transported to your power plant. Someone will also need to build your power plant for you (someone with a construction branch).
Ventura Inc wants to bring you a game in wich you can play with your friends , work in team, communicate, trade and get rich.

Alright. First of all, I like management games. I found the game while randomly browsing the store and it immediately caught my attention. However, it currently has severe flaws, in my opinion, which makes me want a refund (for now, at least). Major issues: - You have no way to predict how well something will sell (to "NPC" automatic customers). You have to use trial and error, and manually adjust your price, then wait for a server tick, see the results, rince & repeat. It doesn't make sense. - Competition between players is mostly based on price. Engineers have more options but it's often limited to maxing every setting. Meaning basically you'll run out of business, unless you can log in often to fight a potential price dumping war. - The game mechanics heavily favor "whales" (already rich players). Early, you struggle; your businesses suck and you can't produce much, + you have to face loan repayment. But elder players got buildings with litterally 2000x your output. So they get fatter. Hence the weird leaderboard. - The "wealth snowball" also means that an already rich player will simply do everything himself, since he can. That limits player interaction... and the ability of p…17 found this helpful
I buy obscure MMO games. This game breaks my heart. A bunch of nerds clearly got together and made, 'something'. One of the positive reviews on here is by someone that 'knows' the developer. Big surprise. This is the WORST game I have ever played. My biggest issue: I managed to bankrupt my company, and there is no way to restart as far as I can tell. 18 dollars down the drain. How is this even allowed on Steam? I mean, it's literally impossible for me to do anything except load the game and look around at this point. That's not a game. How did I bankrupt my company? I was trying to follow the tutorial, and the instructions were cut off every few pages. So, I bought the wrong blueprints, bought the wrong plot of land, accidentally demolished a building, etc. Finally discovered that the instructions are on a wiki outside of the game (http://ventura-inc.com/wiki/index.php/Your_first_steps_into_the_game) as well, but alas it was too late... Nothing about this game deserves any attention in its current state. It's honestly shocking that this can even be sold.9 found this helpful
good game for a shortline thinking singleplayer should be in the game with Ai companies and that you can expand as much as you want with plots1 found this helpful
Do not buy, this is one of the worst games I ever tried without proper support or whoever is making this game couldn't give a crap on what's happening. Above reviews say alot as well
A bit expensive for the current state but if you like economic games well worth a shot. Admin is quite active, but makes changes without notifying players, making the game unplayable for days time to time, Got great potential, needs polishing.
Even In in current state it is a hard yet rewarding experince or bankrupting your self trying to start a bank with only 2 million dollars. 10/10 would destroy all my gain again.
