About MachiaVillain
✦ AI summary
Build your evil mansion in Villain City by constructing deadly traps, recruiting quirky minions, and luring unsuspecting victims to their doom while managing resources and following the League of Villains' strict rulebook. This darkly comedic management sim lets you craft horrific contraptions from spare body parts and fend off monster hunters and environmental threats to become the scariest neighborhood villain around.
Welcome to Villain City, a luxury community entrenched in the hills of horror. Ax murderers, mad scientists and tax evaders, all kinds of bad guys consider this place to be their sweet home. This is the perfect place to rest, relax, and pursue a career in the noblest of professions: professional Villain!!The real estate agent promised you a haunted house with jump scare devices and terrifying traps. Instead, you have a piece of empty land full of Vermin near a rubbish forest.
But do not flee yet! With a little elbow grease, the help of your minions and a lot of murders, you can turn this house into a happy and dreary mortal trap. Just lure locals inside, then trigger your deadly traps or let your minion feast on their brains and flesh. Every night you'll multiply your evil level until everyone calls your mansion " scary, nasty and horrible."
Be aware that the League of MachiaVillain Villains has adopted a strict policy that governs the level of wickedness that you have to adhere to in order to stay in the community. Drs Frank and Stein, Siamese co-Chairmen of the Board of evil ( BDM ), dictated a series of rules to follow when conducting your villainous business. They cover everything from how to kill intruders- to what salads are considered the most evil (no surprise, grated carrots).
Follow the rules of the League and become the scariest neighborhood Villain!
- Build your mansion: Create the evil mansion of your nightmares! Put together the perfect crypt for your vampire, the insanest lab for your mad scientist, an irresistible swimming pool for your victims (and your shark) and don't forget the cannibal kitchen!
- Gather your evil nightmare team: Choose your minions wisely though, as each possesses different traits and have different needs that must be tended to. They also have different fighting styles, such as long range, bare handed, and of course, bare fanged.
- Manage your monsters: No evil mansion is complete without a cadre of minions to keep it running. Order them to do your evil deeds, and don’t forget to have them clean the blood stains.
- Slaughter innocent victims…and bankers!: Our menu tonight includes a wide array of victims from famous tropes such as jocks, nerds, potheads, party girls or horror movie celebrities. A good variety ensures your minions stay well-fed.
- Fight all the things: The environment is full of hostile creatures who want to take your place at the top of the food chain. Chupacabra, Wendigo, Sasquatch... There are also pro monster hunters who come knocking at your door with stakes, holy water or baseball bats. Show them who's the boss… the Villain boss!
- Bloody good crafting: Sawing through countless victims means you'll end up with a few spare parts. Why not use those bits and bobs to craft something useful? MachiaVillain lets you create things using ingredients gathered from victims and harvested from the environment. Put them together and you'll get something horrifying, but also useful.
- Follow the Rules!:The key to evil survival in MachiaVillain is to follow the unspoken rules of the horror movie genre. You do have an Evil Mastermind Reputation to think about after all. Follow the villain's rules to be a real success. So slaughter them when they're alone, kill the virgin last, and never, ever hurt the dog!

Another evil place management sim, though we don’t have enough of good ones. Unfortunately this title is good enough, but not as good as it should have been. So gameplaywise it’s a management sim - indirect control similar to dungeon keeper or rimworld where you cannot really decide what your creatures will do, just kinda suggest their actions with tasks assigned. Here you manage a monster house - and ofc it has to get monster habitants, your job is to make sure they are fed, entertained and have place to sleep, besides that they should be able to man workstation that are needed to develop your mansion and be able to hunt humans that come to visit. Yes, one of main mechanics is attraction of human visitors and hunting them, making sure that none escape, cause otherwise more dangerous elements will come and from hunters become hunted. Got to balance attraction to make regular visitors happen, but not too much for monster hunters. But as mentioned most of the time you’d need to do resource gathering and producing to progress further, which could become grindy as time passes, cause more end gamey stuff requires ridiculous amount of mats. Oh, almost forgot - monster types differ great…1 found this helpful
Abandoned by Devs
Abandoned, unfinished, don't buy.
The last piece of offical news or any update was October... OF 2020. I'd recommend it if you're fine with the bare bones of a cool game, other then that no
A real pleasure to build your evil mansion and fill it with traps, while making cozy rooms for your minions. The game could use some more content, as once you have fully set up your base, the game just loops endlessy without any other objective. Still, entertaining enough.
