Had fun playing for a few days, but honestly, for this price, all DLCs should just be part of the base game. The original game itself doesn’t have much replay value - once you’ve beaten both campaigns, that’s pretty much it. There’s multiplayer, but it feels pointless since the replays are glitched. You can’t watch how other players handle things, just the final results. Makes it a bit underwhelming, to be honest.

Started digging for oil, accidentally created a mole empire instead. Best unintentional rodent tycoon simulator.

A simple oil extraction game suited to the casual player, but with a weak replay loop. _________________________________________________________ Turmoil has become my go-to game to play when something is on in the background and I need just a little more mental stimulation. The game requires no long-term planning whatsoever and the gameplay loop will really determine your mileage: The base game campaign begins with you having no equipment, very little seed money, and overall does a good job introducing you to the 'upgrades' you can purchase in town. But here there's major flaws: The 'upgrades' don't feel like real improvements because any upgrade you purchase ($15K-$40K) merely unlocks the option to pay to upgrade that function in each mining session. For example: You pay $15K to unlock wagons which can carry more oil. But then when you go to deploy wagons, you have to pay a hefty $750 in any given session to actually enable that bonus. The same goes for tunneling speed, pipe width, silo size, and wagon speed. In short, every upgrade you purchase is just you unlocking the right to purchase it again every single level. This makes progression feel weak. Secondly, the stock auction in the base game is based on the dutch auction, which is an interesting historical auction method, but it's also highly annoying when you're working with highly inconsistent AI. _______________ I have spent nearly all my time in the game playing the DLC "the heat is on" which completely removes the dutch auction in favor of the traditional auction style. I also like that the DLC includes the expert mode's character abilities that add some nice flavor to the gameplay. Overall I can't recommend this game to anyone unless it's on a good sale, and even then you must be ok with a gameplay loop that never changes. The AI you play against is fickle at best and will cease to be any challenge to you (at any difficulty) once you realize that they're not programmed to think strategically about stock accumulation or attaining upgrades.

It's a really nice game, great for just relaxing and digging oil and also for hot headed competitors who want some action in bidding for stocks and getting the most money out of their oil. 10/10 would recommend. :)
