Dec. 2024

It's a tough game, challenging but fun. I wish that they were still updating it.

June 2024

I do enjoy this unique management game, however, there are a lot of bugs relating to the employees. There are several occasions where 1 employee does everything while everyone else stands and does nothing even when there are several tables needing food or to be served. This leads to tables leaving out of anger and losing ratings. I find that closing and reopening the game fixes it occasionally.

June 2024

This game was fun to play; too bad it was abandoned. I go through the campaigns in 24 hours of game play.

May 2024

A nice game, the challenges are quite tough. I kept getting frozen screen in the loading page to the next level, and 2 out of 3 times the reviews column is blank during game (also an indication that the next level cannot be loaded).

April 2024

It's a decent game, but it's sad to see the dev gone Man, this game got potential to be the best restaurant management game I ever play (if we don't count restaurant action game like PlateUp, DinerDash, Dave, etc.). Restaurant Empire is my number one in this genre, if you asked. Every core mechanic is there, hiring, cooking, decorating, staff skill, food categories, etc. And it work perfectly, if only they have more time and budget to go on for a few updates to refining and adding some spices. I did find a few time where the game freeze when loading new map, or go back to the main menu, even quit to desktop can make the game freeze after playing for a few hours. At least it is not related to saving function, so didn't complain much because no harm done, just stop the game from steam page and get it on again. Creating recipes is probably the most major selling point in this game you can choose the process and ingredient to create menu that you customer in each area like. It's fun, until you realize you can do any unlogical cooking process for profit. The customer want to eat fish, biscuit, and grape? Yep, just boiled everything into one pot and serve, you still can get five stars review for this recipe of disaster ; ) Man, it's hard to complain this game because it all work out as intend, I did finish all 10 level in the game in 30 hours, and I hope it has more, but, oh well... Anyway, I would recommend if you need a few day of chill out restaurant management session before going for something more massive.
