The gameplay features simple mechanics that are easy to grasp, though some players feel it becomes repetitive after the initial stages of building the company, transitioning into a more passive experience of ordering materials. While the concept is appreciated, a more diverse purchasing base could enhance the overall gameplay experience.
“The mechanics are simple to understand.”
“I actually like the game mechanics.”
“The gameplay for the first 10-20 minutes is to build up the company, then the rest is to just order materials as a chore while you watch your company slowly grow.”
“Good concept, but I did think it has too many mechanics for my taste.”
“The gameplay for the first 10 - 20 minutes is to build up the company, then the rest is just ordering materials as a chore while you watch your company slowly grow.”
“(or, if it is so, there's so little difference as to make none.) A less homogeneous purchasing base would make for stronger gameplay.”

The graphics in the game are described as simplistic yet effective, allowing players to focus on gameplay without taxing system resources. While the visuals are well-designed and credible, they lack a retention factor that encourages replayability, with limited variation in content and settings. Overall, the graphics support the game's complexity and depth in business management, but may not captivate players in the long term.
“Graphics are simplistic, but that's a good thing; you can focus on your company-building without having to worry about your PC's memory getting chewed up by pointless eye-candy.”
“Extremely well designed and credible graphics.”
“This game has to be one of the most complex and exciting business management games on the market, including in-depth markets, analytical tools for in-depth problem solving, and great simplistic graphics.”
“The game lacks replayability and content to actually keep you interested and refreshing; the only difference being settings and what you research. Some visuals too, but the game is exactly the same.”
“A bulldozer graphic instead of a green square would clearly show that you can destroy your buildings.”
“Extremely well designed and credible graphics, but it lacks that retention factor that keeps you coming back.”
