TLDR: Fun game to play in your spare time. Especially if you're into managing stuff and handling things ur way. Sup dev! Arcade Tycoon is a simulation game where you play as the manager of an arcade that you own. Create your own personal arcade center, purchase multiple kinds of arcade machines or any kind of game you can find, manage your grumpy old man staff and many more. While playing the game, I found out that the game is more focused on the management stuff and not on the game side. So the full niche of the game would be revolving around how you can manage an arcade studio without getting a negative margin. I got a huge nostalgic feeling playing the game because I can see myself playing rollercoaster tycoon all over again. Once again, I know it’s a management game, but I really want to get to know more about the game stuff and not the management stuff. I feel like the game forces us to learn management more than the game in itself. This can be a double edged sword since people play a game to have fun and destress. It would not make sense if the game is too complicated right from the start. For the price of $14.99, It’s not really worth it for me. Learning curve is very high and the way to get good in the game is really tedious (since you need to actually learn the mechanics of the game).To progress in the game, the requirement to unlock stuff is really hard. Getting all those stars within the game is really tedious and slow if you only start playing. My suggestions would be making it starting strong then progressively getting slower.Slow pace would make the player lose interest in no time. Artstyle wise, there is really nothing I can actually pick on or complain about since the game revolves around creating a successful arcade. If I really want to, the only problem I can see is how the space is too little to build many kinds of stuff on the provided space. To be fair, I’ve tried the campaign mode and the sandbox mode. There is a clear difference between those two where campaigns have small and limited space. This would in turn make the player think that the game only provides small land and there is no way to upgrade the size of the arcade. Audio wise, I have nothing to pick on at all. I love every single bit of it. There are some notable points I saw while playing the game. I list it below: Bugs: Q and E button is switched. Visually it says Q to right and E to left. But in reality, the game actually does Q for left and E for right. Inconvenience: In the game, it shows that to continue you need to press “enter”. While it’s not actually a problem, there are some parts that you can use left click to do the same things as the “enter” button. When saying there is another thing you need to do, it would be better to pinpoint on the target you choose so that it is easier to notice. Such as turning the ticket machine on in the tutorial. Suggestions: Game seems a little too slow for progressing. You can create and manage your arcade store and all but to progress you can use the mission bounty and the research stuff. Both have their own difficulties that need to be balanced a little. Game seems repetitive after some time. Especially since the upgrading system is locked in the research system. Thanks for developing the game and hope this game can grow further!

The game is definitely worth playing—it's fun and can easily get you hooked. There are a few minor flaws that could be improved, but if you're a fan of arcade and simulation games, you'll enjoy this one. I love how it plays, and it's incredibly relaxing. I highly recommend giving it a try!

this game is fun. but like my weird cousin Henry it has bugs. for under £10 its worth a play and can be addictive but you have to look past its downfalls. if they made a arcade tycoon i would go for it. but like Henry always says "don't worry about the bugs, just get comfortable and try to ignore that weird smell. that smell is none of your business"

A very entertaining simulation game, you get to design and manage your own arcade (starting from your garage and expanding). Pixel graphics are cute and the music really fits the vibe. There are many different aspects to manage, every customer has their own thoughts/needs which affect their behaviour, additionally there are "trends" and random weather etc. events to pay attention to. Time just flew by while I finished the first 3 campaigns, going to try some sandbox mode now too. More decoration items could be good, but other than that no complaints, I'd recommend this for any Tycoon fan!

I been playing this since it was in early access. They been updating it since and now it on 2.0. Buy this and support them guys. You going to get your money worth and its fun to jump and out whenever you. The only con is it can get a little repetitive after halfway beaten the game.
