  Very Cool game its alot like the Capitalism games if you're old enough to know those. you basicly set up production lanes of stuff you would like to make. its a abit fuzzy at first cause its abit overwhelming what to do. but give it some time (if your a impatient person this is not for you!) when you get the hang of it its a very addictive game!.

  A modern version of Capitalism and if you liked that game you will like this one. The graphics are fine for the type of game. This is only for those that like somewhat realistic business sims, but if you do this is a well made one. There are lots of things to make and sell. This will keep me coming back for years like Cap did.

  This is a very nice game. I can see myself playing this for a long time to come. It's sort of like Capitalism II, if you ever played that. You can buy land, make manufacturing chains, research, sell products, buy/sell stock, get loans, compete with other computer players, etc. The reserach tree is pretty nice as well. Not only can you research new products, but you can improve your existing ones along with the maximum production, maximum workers, research lowering costs, etc. There are many upgrades, and products to research/manufacture; I love this part of the game. I do recommend spending about 10 mins watching 1 tutorial when you first start; it saves you a lot of time, and you get the hang of everything fairly easy after that. One tip: on each production and warehouse building you have to tell it to get certain ingredients, or send certain final products to the warehouse. Also from the warehouse you can click on each product, click global market (or whatever it's called), and then sell a certain amount and click 'repeat' to sell a certain amount each day (1st option to sell). The 2nd option to sell (better option) is to click on the construction areas in a city, build a building that lets you sell your products in your own store, and add those products one by one to sell (2nd option; this option automatically sells your products.) The AI (computer players) is the one main area where I'd give a negative right now, but I also know they are working on fixing this as it's in their 'known issues' thread in the forums. As it stands the computer players go bankrupt after a while; they keep it entertaining for a bit, but then they one by one go down. It's still fun to play, but will be much better once they start playing better. Also it'd be cool to see cities develop, but I believe the only thing that changes with them is the population figure, and when corporations build their store in a pre-set area. Outside of the cities though is where all the manufacturing chains are built, and it's a pretty good sized map for you and the computer players to build in. There are random events that happen such as: the bank decides not to lend for a while to anyone, fungus growing on crops causing production to halt, worker strikes, etc. It's a nice touch. Also I just found out in my 2nd game of play that there are random rewards/challenges for example for researching something specific, or producting certain goods. You can also setup winning conditions, 3 map size options, etc. which are nice. This game is extremly fun for me. If you like Business type games with research trees, building upgrades, etc. this is a defnite buy imo. You do have to look at the production trees, etc. to see what is required though for each product, so I wouldn't recommend this for children obviously though (unless you have one of those kids really into these types of games. :)

  Do you like complex economic simulations? Do you like games filled with simulation features, and a rich gameplay? This game is not for you then. I spent roughly an hour and a half getting used to the game itself. Learning the features, how to research products, how to produce, etc. After that, I can confidently say it only takes me 5 minutes of real life time to net 10 million a day for the company. All I did was start out with the biotech, and sold over the counter cold/flu pills for 4000 dollars per PILL. How does this work, you ask? Well, it appears the developers created the advertisement to work as a price + demand modifier. Not only do more people purchase your product when you activate the advertisement, but they will also pay MORE for it. It cost me 3 bucks to produce a single pill, and with 5 minutes of in-game time, maxed out advertisement, I set it to 4000 bucks a pill, and people bought every single pill. All 1400 of them. In fact, I could have done it in even less time, but it took me 4 minutes to research advertisement. Do not recommend. This belongs in early access.

  This title isn't bad. There are a lot of favorable comparisons to Capitalism though and I feel it should be said that this game does not meet the level of depth that Capitalism offers. If you want more streamlined easier to follow game with the same theme as Capitalism this might be a decent choice. This title offers some interesting supply chains but everything else is pretty much decided for you. If you want a much more complete sim of materials and goods production and sale look up Capitalism Lab.

  Don't mind my low number of hours, I have around 9 hours and played around 6 different starts and two starts to decent length (above 100M company value). I'll start this off by saying that the game decently simulates industrial assembly. Most consumer goods(there are a lot, probably upwards of 50) that each take some number of raw input goods, which can themselves be also composed of other input goods. This is fairly interesting and provides a good amount of depth at least in terms of construction. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the game in its current state despite the thought that has gone into the production side of the game, as it seems the game essentially ends there. There's an economy simulator part of the side with some kind of supply and demand, but it seems like supply and demand does not impact sales whatsoever other than capping the number of goods you can sell/buy a day. Furthermore, the economy for consumer goods can only be filled by the player and the (maximum of four) AI players. This means that assuming that no AI player goes into the same industry as you, you will essentially have a monopoly on your industry of choice and will be able to sell goods at whatever price you will like. The advertising system is unlockable via research(took me a game or two to figure it out), and essentially you spend money to advertise on various platforms in various cities at various levels. Sounds pretty good right? Unfortunately the way it works is that advertising just makes the AI buy your goods at absurd(double) your usual prices. Real example: I was making Silver/Gold Jewellery. I found out that by spending around 50k on advertisement, I could double the price of my goods during the advertisement duration and make more money even after the advertisement costs. This is fine, except for the fact that the INSTANT you end advertisement everything resets to pre-advertisement levels. Now you can abuse the system super hard by stockpiling a ton of high value goods and then starting a large advertisement campaign, which will then allow you to sell those goods for double the usual price until you sell out of goods in a month or two, upon which you just cancel the advertisement campaign and wait for more goods to stack up so you can repeat the process. PROS -Very good manufacturing simulation -Graphics look pretty nice, like Cities Skyline -UI is pleasant to look at. MEH -Some aspects of the game seem redundant, such as warehouses having a storage limit and an upgrade associated with it, but I've never seen my warehouse above 5% capacity. -Audio is decent, but some parts are really annoying (there's this blowing sound in particular that just kills me). -Map settings are pretty vague but you can figure them out with a bit of experimentation. -All city markets are separate, but you have to sell your goods for the same price at every city. -Not sure if this is a bug or whatever, but the "daily limit" on the number of a metal you can mine seems to have no impact, I had an area that only gave 50 silver per day but I was milking it for over 150 with no apparent issues. CONS -Tedious UI, lot of clicking to get to related sections -Missing Information that would be helpful like total sales for an item, total costs for an item, etc. Don't want to pull out a calculator while playing the game but that's just me. -Market simulation needs a lot of work. -Can't seem to find any competition with the AI, it feels like its just me and 4 bots building in separate industries that come together to compare company size once in a while. -Very rare competition due to hard cap 4 opponent AI and huge choice of products. -Advertising is unintuitive and can be easily abused. TL:DR, The game is good on the production side but needs a lot of work, should be early access. The market simulation mechanics in particular need a lot of work.

  It is a nice combination of Capitalism 2 + Industry Empire/Farming Giant. Building on the cool things and leaving out the annoyances + a lot of new content, depth, interdependencies and great solutions. Not to mention: it is a finished game, that runs and does what it should:) Highly recommended for Tycoon Fans.

  Can't give thumbs up at this time due to bad game design. Last game i didn't bother producing anything, just focus on retail. By loads of food etc and within a year a was making 120 times as much as my strongest competitor. You could probably just buy a few warehouses and all of the retail slots, focus on retail and the AI couldn't even sell anything for a decent price. Materials on the open market are abundant, coming from some outside random? source. Sure i could do the whole production line thing but it's clunky and im dubious about the AI anyway. Hope the game will be overhauled but right now it's fairly pointless and not terribly fun.

  Graphics :8 Sound :8 Simulation:4 Depth :4 AI:4 A polished version of the Cult game Capitalism . Graphics & Sounds are nice however the game doesnt have any depth, this is why it becomes boring after few hrs. unlike Capitalism which i stil enjoy playing. Also AI of Capitalism is more sophisticated compared to this game. I wouldnt reccomend that game

  Ok, let`s see, this is not an angry NO because I would say it is fairly priced, more of a disappointed NO, but it can improve since most negatives aspects are balance an AI, not the underlying core mechanics SHORT VERSION: go and buy CAPITALISM 2, it is an actual challenge, has better AI, better balance, good enough interface (!), marketing and advertising actually matter, R&D is better handled, CEO pick matters, stock market matters, etc., you get the picture... LONGER VERSION: - This is not a simulation nor really even a game, this is a "supply chain demonstrator", there is no challenge, there is really no way you can loose if you are half way competent and can do basic math, like 2 is more than 1, that`s enough - In this game it is impossible to over expand, there is no risk involved your decisions, to go full vertical integrations is always the right decisions, no matter what - The AI is close to no existent, a maximum of 4 competitors can be on your map and they basically do nothing but sell a couple of products on and on, this means no competition which means no price war which means insane profits (100% markup is easy to achieve) which, again, means no risks - The stock market and marketing are there but you can ignore them, the same is true for Banks and loans, you won`t need them, it at least gives me hope they can tweak the balance and change this, since the mechanics are already there - R&D is just "time", there`s nothing else involved (other than the setup money costs), no experience gained, no specialization, nothing, your R&D guys can crack any problem equally and with ease given a little time, your company can do anything and everything at once, from drilling oil to manufacture cell phones, which means it has no personality an, again, no risk involved in doing something new an unknown - There`s almost no mechanic dealing with retail, I guess given the title of the game it is not the focus of it, but maybe a couple of options here and there wouldn`t hurt, like should you invest in your own retail chain or not - You pick a CEO at the start and, as far as I can tell, you are stuck with him forever at no cost, salary or anything else is not discussed or negotiated - The UI is not terrible but is lacking obvious options, like the ability to store building profiles to copy and paste into new buildings and not having to setup everything manually every time Overall, my main criticism it there is no risk built into any decision in this game, it is just there to show how a supply chain works at a very basic level It is somewhat sad that CAPITALISM 2 is still the standard after this many years, I guess there is not much market for economic simulators On the positive side, the art and sound are good enough, with a Sims vive to it, and many gameplay mechanics are already there if they choose to work on patching a little challenge into this thing, I hope it does good enough to justify improvement, but I can`t recommended it in it`s actual form
