Alright, I will be honest, I was expecting that I might have a rough experience, and that this is a rugpull, but, at the end of my 20 minutes playtime, whist still unsure, if this is some developer very first game, or a rugpull, I know one thing. As much as that sucks, I can't recommend this game in it's current state. The game misses features such as most basic customization of the company, any competitors, or even any real products. Arms Trade Tycoon: Tanks, which still feels barebones, has multiple times worth of content comparatively to this. Combine this with general basic spelling issues, and the fact that you can't even change your resolution, and it ends up feeling like a very early vision for a game, or a very early pre-alpha. I can't recommend this game in it's current state, and I'd truly love for it to be developed more, if that happens, I will try it again, but for now, sadly, I will stay away, and for you, I recommend the same.10 found this helpful
