It’s truly unique, like... literally, I haven’t come across anything like it on Steam. The gameplay is super addictive and perfectly captures how a TV tycoon should feel. I also really appreciate the Steam Workshop support and the fact that Russian is available right out of the box (even if its not completed). I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the Empire TV Tycoon continued growth

Empire TV Tycoon is a fun and simple simulation of running a TV station. It is not very realistic nor very "Tycoon" as other games using that name tend to be, but the fun comes in making all the pieces fit into a given broadcast day. Playing this game is basically Weird Al's "UHF" as a simulator, in that you are making and scheduling a pretty weird and seemingly random set of programs to broadcast over your channel. It isn't terribly deep and the shuffled phrases for each movie or show's plot make very little sense, but it is fun to imagine what those ingredients could be when you pen the title. The major flaw of Empire TV is that it never feels like you're building something cohesive. You can choose a genre like Comedy or Science Fiction and try to establish yourself as the best version of that, but the game will eventually give you blocks of an audience that isn't receptive to that genre. Ultimately you have to have a small rotation of decent filler programs for those blocks of non-typical viewers to keep your ratings up and ads selling. I would have liked it to be a more targeted channel where your choices matter more. The people behind this game seem to align with my…

100 hours in, I've realised I owe this game a review. It's simple but satisfying. The trial and error stage as you learn the rules can be frustrating, but you can mostly skip it (if you want to) by consulting these two guides: - the audience guide at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1577166146 - the movie production guide at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=585307229 The core gameplay loop is addictive. The minigame where you have to find the best site for your antennas (as shown in the fourth picture on the Store page) is irritating, but it only interrupts the game about three times in a normal playthrough and takes about 5-10 minutes each time. The game is deeply cozy and nostalgic. You don't have to hurt anyone, and there's no heartbreak. Your goal is to make audiences happy! Depending on the RNG, you'll get to program lots of your favourite TV shows and movies and anime from years ago. There are jingles and vivid colours. I pulled several all-nighters at uni playing this game. I'd stay up until 7 when the shops opened and I could go buy brownies. The English winter nights were long and cold, but this game was bright and warm. I'd …

This is definitely a terrorist s..t and act, no matter how funny it may seem to anyone. Serious warning.

Ever wanted to run your own TV station? Did you ever watch UHF and say "That's what I want to do with my life"? Well, now you can get one step closer to that goal with this game. There is something addictive about stressing over your lineup for the day, trying to slot in movies and shows that your audience will love. You can even hire screenwriters to make original movies that you can air. Its not perfect. The likes and dislikes of audiences can be bizarre (nerds love westerns and hate horror? athletes love documentaries and drama?) and I wish there some subcategories that would get some bonus points. But overall, a lot of fun.
