The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players expressing excitement over its potential and unique mechanics reminiscent of classic tycoon games. However, there are concerns about the simplicity of the core mechanics and the current non-functionality of many features, which could impact the overall experience. The handling of special events may ultimately determine the game's success as a business simulation.
“I waited for years for that title to come to GOG or to be updated, remastered, etc. I've tried several other titles that have attempted to follow the concept and mechanics of what I loved about Car Tycoon, but I have to say that I believe I've finally found the title I've been looking for.”
“This one has quite the potential, but the basic mechanics are on the simple side for a tycoon. I think how special events will be handled will help define this as either good or bad, more than its potential as a business simulation.”
“I personally dislike turn-based gameplay, where the game leads you through specific paths.”
“This game has quite a bit of potential, but the basic mechanics are too simplistic for a tycoon. How special events are handled will ultimately determine whether it is good or bad, more than its potential as a business simulation.”
