I got it on sale for about £5.
I got 7 hours of playtime out if and that was about it, so not great value for money, for the type of game it is.
I very much want to like this game, but just can't. I loaded straight into Hard Difficulty, had idea wtf was going on, just tried max all my numbers. By turn 200 I no longer was able to spend all my money, except for loaning to other banks, (even with all my guys at 100+ stats). However, the AI was somehow going ham, and doubled its money in 10 turns causing a massive breakaway into stratospheric levels. Turn 220 I'm sitting at 40 million, and AI leader is at 160 million. So, I just bumrushed the Federal Reserve and it was GG. I also at this point had almost max tech.
Once buying an asset, there was pretty much no reason to ever sell the asset.
The UI is so utter fucking garbage, that even attempting to try and figure out where my competitors had their investments to start using revolutions and other options given tot he player was pretty much void. Why I cannot just select a competitor and then have an organized list of their assets, I do not know.
The UI also makes effectively nosense, as many of the tabs are labelled or mislabelled with no explanation as to what they mean. I'm on the "enhance Agriculture tab", and I got an "investment value" and a "property value", but neither value actually relates at all to my agricultural investment for that particular region. Why you might ask? Lazy developers, who knows? Like come on, UX and data is not a big ask, when you already must have a database stored somewhere.
By the time I hit my first Million, the game was basically just "press next turn" > issue all loans > Invest in Region > Buy max Investments > level up region > Press next turn , loop. WIth a short break every 20 turns or so to upgrade my managers.
The game could be so much better with some value tweaks, and a proper UI, that its just sad. I like the premise and idea of the game, but the execution is a garbled mess, and ends up being less interactive than most Idle games.
