Rise of Industry puts you in a tycoon simulation to build an economic boom. The game comes from the developer Dapper Penguin Studios. You determine the need for your products and satisfy your production and logistics needs. You sell the products through various production chains. For example, for a cattle farm, you need water, wheat and a farm. You build the farm, plant fields and collect water in a siphon. The aim is to produce beef, milk and leather. The cash registers are ringing. You have to keep your eyes peeled for demand and expand your production to supply your customers. Delivering goods costs you money, so you shouldn't be too far from your customers.
Unfortunately, the tutorial does not explain enough that you have to bring a certain degree of frustration tolerance with you. A help window supports you. However, you have to develop some things for your production chains without the help window. You city is growing and you can continue to expand your business. In turn, you need new products and production chains to maximize your profit. However, this also requires investments. You also have to do a lot for the environment, otherwise production facilities will be shut down and instead of customers you will have ghost towns. Unfortunately, there is no profit display for the trade routes. In the production overview you can see the costs and profit of the production chains. Your budget is shown in the form of a curve.
Summary
Rise of Industry looks very complex. But there are some obscure aspects to the game. The game looks profound at first glance, but it isn't. If you just work through the production chains, the money flows by itself. At second glance, the game is simple and fun at times. But something else is outstanding.
