What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Mobile Empire has an interesting core concept about building a mobile phone company across decades of technological change, but players consistently report significant issues that undermine the experience. The main complaints center on poor UI design that is confusing and maze-like, persistent bugs that can trap players on screens, unresponsiveness, slowness, and subpar English translation. While a few players found enjoyment in it, the overwhelming consensus suggests waiting for substantial fixes before considering a purchase.

The game unnecesarily is so complicated and buggy. Like, if you want to upgrade your phone, you somehow stuck on the screen and can't do anything, except cancelling the upgrade, then that page is lost forever. I am not even talking about that labyrinth-like menu and UI. That UI is so maze-like, sometimes you just have to guess what this button does, because you don't want to press anything wrong, because everything you press may change something you didn't want.

The idea of this game seems good, but the implementation is lazy, the game is unresponsive and slow, and the English translation is terrible.
