Arcade Tycoon isn’t just about building a flashy arcade; it’s a game of strategy and resource management, where every decision counts. One key lesson you’ll learn early on is the importance of researching crucial upgrades, like the fusebox. Without it, you risk losing machines. To thrive, it’s essential to avoid overspending. Stick to what you need, expand gradually, and keep an eye on your budget. Going into negative debt can quickly spiral out of control, so buy only what will support your growth, not what looks tempting at first glance. Another vital element is completing objectives and contracts. They’re not just for progress—they unlock valuable rewards and finance options that can make or break your arcade’s success. As you grow, you’ll naturally need more staff and machine upgrades to keep your customers happy. Keeping that balance between expanding and managing what you already have is where the challenge lies. The campaign mode is an exciting test of your management skills, filled with fun but challenging scenarios. But if you ever feel like taking a break from the intensity, the sandbox mode lets you build at your own pace for a more relaxed experience. Overall, Arcade Tycoon is a perfect blend of fun and strategy, making every choice feel rewarding. Whether you’re a tycoon veteran or new to the genre, this game will keep you hooked.

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!
