  • Fun short game that can kill an hour of time with a cute story.
  • Addicting capitalism simulator with humorous and bold satire.
  • Great artwork and sound design, making it a relaxing experience.
  • Game is very short and feels incomplete, ending abruptly after a few hours.
  • Clunky controls and unintuitive UI detract from the overall experience.
  • Gameplay can become repetitive and lacks depth, with some mechanics poorly explained.
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized as a humorous and cute slice-of-life narrative typical of Touhou fan-games, featuring topical references and engaging writing. While players enjoyed the comedic elements and art style, many expressed a desire for additional content, such as an endless mode, as the story feels like a foundation for a larger experience. Overall, the story is seen as a significant strength, despite some critiques regarding its brevity.

    • “The game is broken up into two goals you have to hit, each 1 year apart, and it only takes about 1 hour of casual playing per year - the story is otherwise funny and in some cases topical (references to 10nm CPUs and VTubers).”
    • “I would really like to see an endless mode, and possibly more story since I personally really enjoyed the writing and the art style.”
    • “The biggest strength of MPMS overall, though, is its hilarious story.”
    • “Story: 5/10 | It is as ridiculous as you would expect from a Touhou fan-game.”
    • “It could use things like endless mode or just allow the game to continue after the story is done because it does feel at times like a base to a larger game.”
    • “Story is your average Touhou slice-of-life type.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their lovely artwork and appealing art style, earning a score of 7/10. While the visuals are appreciated, some players feel that the game could benefit from additional content, such as an endless mode or more story elements. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, especially for a management game.

    • “Apart from these out-of-the-ordinary mechanics, the game's artwork is lovely.”
    • “Short game but nice artwork.”
    • “I would really like to see an endless mode, and possibly more story since I personally really enjoyed the writing and the art style.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by micromanagement of stock and engagement with RNG-based mini-events, which could feel monotonous without the added excitement of hiring bodyguards and defending against monster attacks. Overall, while the core mechanics may seem simple, they are enhanced by unique elements that keep the experience enjoyable.

    • “Short but fun, the gameplay mostly revolves around micromanaging your stock and contending with the RNG-based mini-events.”
    • “Apart from these out-of-the-ordinary mechanics, the game's artwork is lovely.”
    • “This kind of gameplay alone could be terribly dry, but luckily, you've also got bodyguards to hire and monster attacks to survive with their help.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is a standout feature, characterized by a hilarious and often topical story that includes references to contemporary subjects like 10nm CPUs and VTubers. While the overall quality may be debatable, players consistently find the comedic elements to be genuinely entertaining.

    • “The biggest strength of MPMS overall, though, is its hilarious story.”
    • “I can't say it's good, but it is really, really funny.”
    • “The game is broken up into two goals you have to hit, each 1 year apart, and it only takes about 1 hour of casual playing per year - the story is otherwise funny and in some cases topical (references to 10nm CPUs and VTubers).”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game offers some replay value due to missed events and choices that can affect outcomes, many players feel that overall replayability is limited. The experience can be completed relatively quickly, which may reduce the incentive to replay.

    • “First run, I ended with 1.6 million with no prior background to the game. Cleared in two hours - worth it for the cheap price and possible replay value since there are a few events you can miss if you don't have enough remaining cash for certain parts of the game.”
    • “Don't expect much replayability though.”

    The music in the game features a limited number of tracks, with only about four, but users appreciate the quality of the soundtrack, often rating the sound design highly at 9/10. Overall, while the quantity may be low, the subjective enjoyment of the music is notable.

    • “Great soundtrack!”
    • “Sound design: 9/10 | This is completely subjective, and although there are barely any music tracks (there are like 4), I liked them.”
    • “Great soundtrack!”
