The gaming industry is vast, covering several genres from action to casual, adventures to role-playing games, and more. Among all, one of the genres is simulation. This genre is made to provide you with simulated real-world experience. The simulated games are designed so that real-life activities are served to you in the form of a game. There’s a game named “MONOPOLY Tycoon” in the same genre, and in this article, we will review the game.
Developed and published by Nvizzio Creations, Inc. is a free-to-play game with some in-game items that can also be purchased for real money. Released on January 19, 2022, the game runs on version 0.15.3, and lately, it was updated on January 17, 2022. With 10,000+ downloads till now, the game is foreseeing a good response from the gaming community.
The MONOPOLY Tycoon is all about Building your Real Estate Empire, City by City. The concept and storyline of this simulation game, “ MONOPOLY Tycoon,” revolve around the main protagonist, Mr. MONOPOLY, who selects you as a player who will be guided to become an ultimate real estate tycoon and showcase your full potential.
Talking about the setup, the MONOPOLY Tycoon is a traditional flat board made into a 3D city, where you are the one who has to set up amenities and infrastructure for the citizens to live, earn and flourish comfortably. Each city you build is similar but with a unique tinge with its characters and architectural style. And yes, adding their quirky things. Players! Be ready to face the challenges in the building, unlock new cities, grow each city, and make it better and more beautiful, but do keep in mind that inhabitants must be happy from the developments. The mantra for happy cities is the happy citizens themselves.
The game is all about building and establishing cities for the citizens. Well, it is a light-hearted stylized monopoly game. Honestly, while playing this game, I felt as if I am playing Rise Of Cultures. Somewhere both the games have a similar concept. On one side, the Rise of culture wants you to set up civilization for the community; on the other hand, MONOPOLY Tycoon demands you to build cities with an infrastructure comprising cottages, motels, lodges, resorts, cuisine, parks, monuments, etc. This game is a good option for MONOPOLY lovers.
In reviewing this game, the first thing that attracts the player is its design and 3D graphics. Those overhead views, 3D block views, 3D business views. Really Fascinating! As soon as you enter the game, you know that the game has justified the simulation genre very well. The graphics give you the experience of watching an animated movie. The next thing that draws your attention is the wide variety of options in terms of infrastructure, which spices up things. The variety makes you feel as if you are a real estate tycoon. It is an easy-to-understand game with almost 40 types of businesses to offer with different levels of profits they would provide when you set them up.
The game offers fewer commercials giving a plus as most games offer a lot of Ads that disappoint the players. The game has good pacing, and yes, how can we forget the bidding part it provides. The experience while bidding does not seem natural, almost shoehorned. Although adding this feature is something new tried by the makers. But they must work on its efficiency.
The auction house is a bit slow, especially when you use it continuously. After a while, when you visit the auction store frequently, it also becomes a bit boring, vanishing your interest in it. One drawback that the game serves is that it does not work offline. Now when we are talking about the defects in the game, there is one more which becomes a headache sometimes. I am talking about the task of collecting the rent from each building. In my view, there must be a button that serves to collect the rent of all buildings for once. Moreover, it could become more fun if it had the multiplayer option.
Nevertheless, this game could be considered an incredible evolution to the board games. The MONOPOLY Tycoon is no pay-to-win game; that is a good thing about it. It is something you would have imagined in terms of business management and city building game, giving you the platform to sell and buy, collect rents, manage money, and whatnot. It is a typical monopoly game offering amazing challenges to blend the city and management, enhancing the experience.
Maybe, the variety it provides in the infrastructure would be positive, but sometimes it becomes confusing as to which we must use in building and the space requirements. Talking about the sound and music, it is quite good. Not top-notch, but yes, it is satisfying and light-hearted. It blends well with the game and its mechanics.
Next on the list is the game mechanics and difficulty level. The game sideways offers you the guide to what you need to do next. As you complete the tasks listed, you progress on and unlock the various scenarios. The Add-on thing is the tutorial for beginners to understand the game.
There is a combo of well-designed graphics, quirky gameplay, and an entertaining work area. Meant for all types of players, the monopoly lovers will appreciate the game, giving a twist to the normal board games. But players, don’t get so involved in the game that you turn into a bankruptcy situation as your mismanagement of money can bring on such a situation. Strategize, be innovative and enjoy the game “MONOPOLY Tycoon.”
