  • Highly addictive and detailed tycoon game with an immersive console creation experience.
  • Realistic historical progression of technology and unlocking features as time advances adds depth and replayability.
  • Well-polished gameplay mechanics with an extensive range of customization options for consoles and games.
  • Game suffers from numerous bugs, including glitches with research points, financial anomalies, and freezing/crashing that lead to lost progress.
  • Slow progression and time pacing, with research points being hard to earn causing difficulty in keeping up with advancing technology.
  • Limited save options, lack of sandbox mode, inconvenient UI elements, and some unrealistic or frustrating mechanics (e.g., game contract requirements, repetitive reviews).
  • gameplay
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging and intuitive mechanics, with features like game and console creation adding depth, though some find it repetitive and lacking strategic challenge. Common issues include bugs, slow progression, limited research point generation, and the need for more varied mechanics and speed options to prevent gameplay dragging. Overall, it offers a fun tycoon experience with room for improvement in pacing, variety, and bug fixes.

    • “The mechanics are deep yet intuitive, and the market dynamics keep things fresh.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth, and the progress feels rewarding.”
    • “The difference from the other games is insane like the fact that I can make my own games or a game engine is pretty wild I'd say and the country you choose impacts your gameplay too deserves 5 stars.”
    • “There are also many bugs that affect the gameplay experience, and we, as players, have no clear idea about what the companies are doing — whether they are working on new content or improvements.”
    • “Not being able to speed up the gameplay makes it drag on when you're waiting for new tech.”
    • “I found it fun at first, but the gameplay got repetitive quickly, and it's pretty much the same as smartphone tycoon 2 except doing research is much better.”
  • monetization
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization features moderate and generally well-placed ads that are often short and infrequent, enhancing the experience without overly disrupting gameplay. However, there are frequent complaints about forced ads, lack of a no-ad purchase option, and the inconsistency of ad removal after payment, which frustrates some users. Many players suggest adding rewarded ads for bonuses like research points to balance monetization and gameplay progression.

    • “Best game I've ever played on mobile. The reason is there are no ads, and it does not require wifi. Perfect for long car rides and doesn't get boring. I highly recommend this game!”
    • “Ads are ridiculously frequent with no option to turn them off which completely kills the flow.”
    • “I also don't like the fact I still have ads after paying. At least don't push ads when I'm just playing the game.”
    • “Overall a great game for being a mobile app I enjoy playing, but excessive ads caused crashes every time an ad pops up or I misclick a purchase and close it; the game crashes and resets from the last save, which is a hassle. I bought the sandbox option expecting no ads, but it didn't remove them.”
  • stability
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely praised for its fun and addictive gameplay but suffers from frequent bugs, freezes, crashes, and glitches that hinder stability. Issues like unexpected freezes, corrupted saves, and buggy mechanics are common, making the experience frustrating despite its potential. Players recommend updates to fix these persistent stability problems.

    • “The game is average but I recommend Cars Tycoon over this. The game is poorly optimized and very buggy. Also, you have to manually save your game because sometimes it saves automatically, but sometimes it will not save.”
    • “This game is amazing but has a big issue: when you are too deep into the game, it suddenly freezes and crashes (shows a white screen with an 'x_x').”
    • “I'm really enjoying this game and was waiting for it to be on Play Store, but now I can't play or enter it because of glitches and bugs.”
  • graphics
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are generally well-received for their quality and realism, especially given its lightweight nature, though some users note limitations like the inability to upgrade home console 3D graphics and occasional optimization issues. While praised for detail and improvements, a few reviews mention a desire for more advanced features, better graphical upgrades, and smoother performance. Overall, the visuals are considered good and enhance the gameplay experience, though there is room for further enhancement.

    • “Visually, this game has great visuals for it to be this lightweight; the game mechanics also are good, like allowing to make new copies, that's something we needed a long time ago in the tycoon genre!”
    • “I immediately noticed a great graphics improvement.”
    • “This game is so fun and never gets old, the graphics are stunning and it's a good quality game.”
    • “All is working well, except for the 3D graphics for the home console.”
    • “I can't upgrade my consoles to 3D graphics, so I can't get exclusive game titles.”
    • “The graphics are not as good as Device Tycoon and there are no more features; please focus on it and the game will be awesome.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is noted as quite time-consuming and repetitive, particularly due to having to start upgrades from scratch across different categories and numerous upgrade levels. Players suggest improvements like faster progression options, a dedicated tab for new inventions, and balancing study points to reduce the tediousness and enhance the overall experience. Despite this, many still enjoy the game and appreciate its depth.

    • “Wow just wow, no complaints except one: the study points are a little low, I find myself grinding for points just to have none left a second later and new technologies get pumped left and right.”
    • “Too much grinding, like I unlock DDR7 for console but then for VR or handheld I have to start from DDR1.”
    • “You have to make everything from scratch instead of just letting you have the same options as the last one and upgrade it, so tedious.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the game's addictive nature but highlight several optimization issues, including confusing statistics, imbalanced research costs, and insufficient bug testing capacity. Performance problems such as poor UI design, progress loss due to glitches, and limited optimization options are frequently mentioned, alongside requests for better save file management and enhanced in-game systems to improve overall gameplay smoothness.

    • “Been playing this game more than 50 hours and really enjoyed it as a side game. Some features need updates such as game contracts pricing, increase of optimization options, increase bug tester team size since the 425 bugs in work contract are literally unable to be completed, physics engine selector needed to change since there are more than 90 physics engines later in the game and possibly create your own physics engine function.”
    • “This game is the best but my suggestion is UI design improvement and optimization, and many new parts to add and 3D design to add. This would make the game run smoothly on my device with Android 15 and Color OS 15.”
    • “A couple of things I wish were here are different save files so I can have a different company that focuses on handheld consoles or VR consoles instead. The optimization for the games your company makes seems a little low. I feel like a AAA game like Death Stranding 2, which has fabulous graphics and 50+ hours of gameplay (90 GB on PlayStation 5), you should be able to make a similar game that's similar.”
    • “Poorly optimized, buggy, and worst of all, hours of progress, an entire save, were lost due to a glitch.”
    • “Been playing this game more than 50 hours. There are some features that need to be updated such as game contracts pricing, increase of optimization options, increase bug tester team size since the 425 bugs in work contract is literally unable to be completed.”
    • “The optimization for the games your company makes seems a little low. I feel like a AAA game like Death Stranding 2, which has fabulous graphics and 50+ hours of gameplay (90 GB of storage on a PlayStation 5), should be comparable.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its awesome, immersive soundtracks that enhance the overall vibe, with players wishing for an official OST release. However, occasional bugs cause the music to stop or turn on/off unexpectedly, disrupting immersion and slightly detracting from the experience.

    • “The soundtracks are so awesome and such a vibe; I wish there was an official release of the OST.”
    • “Overall, the music is great and adds to the game's immersive experience despite occasional bugs.”
    • “The music is very cool and enhances the gameplay, though there are minor bugs with controlling it.”
    • “Music sometimes stops, breaking immersion.”
    • “There are some bugs, like the game not generating any revenue or not being able to research, or the music stopping suddenly, but it's overall great!”
  • story
