Abandoned and unfortunately not even close to finished. Another scam dev.1 found this helpful
Possibly abandoned as last update 8 months ago. It's okay for a business simulator, but, certainly not anywhere near the best ones. It's very cheap though to reflect that.
A bit barebones, but fun none the less. Several very silly UI related problems: messages of bankrupting companies cannot be filtered out and if enough messages accrue they cover the buttons. The 'exit page' button is inexplicably tiny. Little information on taxes paid, what type? where? how much does each breakdown to? No ability to change pause options (pause on x event, dont pause on y etc) A lot could be done to improve tooltips to give more information. Overall, its a pretty good game and could be much better with a few quality of life patches addressing glaring issues.
Pretty good economic game. Good complexity in the content of the game. Hope the developer will polish the user UI so that its easier to do research and comparison on companies financials.
The game is decent for what it is. It could be so much more. I'd be happy to see a second one made and they expand on the first one. So much potential.
Fun and pretty addictive little game! For the price of 5.99€ (on sale) you get a couple of hours of pretty good entertainment. Yes the game is pretty rough around the edges in some areas, but if the developer continues to expand and polish this, it will be very good. A suggestion is to introduce some sort of Lobby or political system. Maybe fund Medias so that your ideology is promoted in your country. This part of the game is lacking, well everything. Right now if your country turns Socialist you are done for.. Also some QOL improvements would me nice, as some other people mentioned, the notification system is a bit tedious. There should also be some sort of easier management in each country beanch. Like setting the asset growth ”for all” of them.
