Игра Drill Deal: Borehole (Alpha) обладает огромным потенциалом, но пока находится на ранней стадии разработки. Первое, что бросается в глаза - это комплексная система управления буровой компанией. Многообразие параметров, которые необходимо учитывать (от зарплаты сотрудников до уровня повреждения оборудования), впечатляет и погружает в геймплей. Однако, интерфейс нуждается в доработке: он перегружен информацией и не всегда интуитивно понятен. Экономическая модель достаточно интересная: приходится постоянно балансировать между прибылью, затратами и техническим обслуживанием. Возможность найма специалистов с разными навыками добавляет глубины стратегии. Тем не менее, в текущей альфа-версии наблюдаются некоторые проблемы с оптимизацией, особенно при строительстве больших комплексов. Также заметны отдельные баги и недоработки, что естественно для альфа-версии. В целом, игра выглядит многообещающе, если разработчики продолжат активно работать над улучшением интерфейса, оптимизацией производительности и устранением ошибок. Рекомендую следить за развитием проекта, так как в будущем Drill Deal: Borehole может стать отличным экономическим симулятором.

This "game" was release in 2020 and it is still in alpha version, so [b]this is like a demo[/b] right now. Otherwise, the base management is good, and even the combat is interesting. Moreover, it's free, so try out by yourself.
waiting for the full game "still". hoping you can actually pick drill zones
This will probably be a cool game on full release, but right now the game can be more or less completed in about an hour. I ran into a glitch where an employee got stuck and wasn't able to fulfill their needs or their duties, had to fire them, suppose if I liked them enough I could have destroyed the building they were stuck on, but either way, it needs work. I was only ever contracted to sell the 2 most basic resources, some of the advanced resources like lubricant ended up being useful towards upgrades, but many other resources were produced to capacity then stayed that way all game. maybe the contract system could be improved if you could select a resource you want to sell and actively search for companies wishing to purchase. the game has a good foundation, we just need to see more.
