Cosmopoly

⠀

Cosmopoly is ugly interface clone of Monopoly with space. Unfortunately this game has no real player base - unless you drag friends here, you pley with bots (which cannot be sped up, unless you use external party tools; even if you do, game will become stuck on throwing dices step). UI does not scale well, I played on 1440x900 monitor ad I could not read some of fonts, e.g. in stress indicator. "01:60" on timer is really looking off. Some elements of interface are not translated (kept in Russian). Although it's free in current state it cannot be recommended.

I played only the single-player mode because there were no online players at the time. The game is fun but, in my opinion, has some issues. 1) Sometimes, the NPC info glitches and shows their icon as if they are in prison or on vacation, but they are actually playing on the board. 2) It's hard to see where opponents are currently located because the player pins are not very clear. 3) It would help if clicking an opponent’s property card at the bottom of the screen highlighted that spot on the board. 4) Another useful feature would be to show your total wealth and any current fines, ransoms, or taxes on the screen, or at least your total wealth, so you can predict things like taxes, which are currently shown only as percentages. I believe these changes would make the game easier to follow and more enjoyable. Overall, Cosmopoly is a fun game with a solid concept, though luck definitely plays a major part (if not the biggest). I hated losing when luck wasn’t on my side, but I loved winning when I was luckier than my opponents!
