Every tick is a real trade, matched on a real order book between buyers and sellers who each decided, on their own, what a company is …

    The game suffers from optimization issues, including buggy UI and laggy performance. Additionally, it lacks features for tracking historical performance such as best trades and returns, which users suggest adding for a better experience.

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is poor, with frequent bugs affecting the user interface and causing laggy performance. Many features, especially chart execution, are notably glitchy and unreliable.

    • “A lot of the game is buggy, from the UI to the laggy performance.”
    • “UI is very buggy.”
    • “A lot of features seemed more buggy for on-chart execution versus stocks.”

  • gameplay

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a deep and engaging market simulation with amazing mechanics, though it appears to have had limited testing outside the development environment prior to release. Despite some issues, players find it enjoyable and well-designed.

    • “If you are looking for a market simulator with deep gameplay, this is your game.”
    • “A really great game with amazing mechanics, I love it.”
    • “After 11 hours of gameplay over the patches/hotfixes, it's abundantly clear to me this was not properly tested outside of a dev environment prior to release.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in this game is considered tedious and overly time-consuming, as players spend extensive effort trading to gather money only to find company takeovers are simplified and repetitive, reducing the sense of challenge.

    • “Too easy for taking over a company - spend so much time grinding trading only to gather money, only for it to be as simple as issuing a cash offer, waiting 10 days, repeating (because of poisoned pill), then buying out full control.”

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music features an 80's aesthetic that evokes a nostalgic, Gordon Gekko-inspired vibe, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
