Is Business Magnate worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Simulation players who want to manage production from product design through sales
- Strategy players interested in operating several companies at once
- Players who want to research and manufacture vehicles, electronics, machinery, or spacecraft
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, narrowly focused business scenario may hit a wall when the game expands into facilities, research, employees, marketing, and production planning.
- Players who want a fixed turn-based structure may bounce off the real-time management system, even though the simulation can be paused or accelerated.
- Players looking for character-driven role-playing or direct combat will not find those as the stated focus.
Our take on Business Magnate
The first major friction point is the move from choosing a product to coordinating research, facilities, employees, production, marketing, and sales. Players who prefer a single company or a narrow production loop may bounce off when expansion and concurrent company management become part of the workflow.
What is Business Magnate?
Business Magnate is a real-time business simulation in which players establish companies producing cars, rockets, phones, tanks, trucks, airplanes, computers, or ships.
The workflow covers selecting a product type, designing products, researching components and technologies, building offices, warehouses, production sites, and launch pads, then producing, marketing, and selling goods. Players manage employees, review financial and sales information, study market conditions, and adjust products for changing demand. The game can be paused or accelerated. After establishing one company, players can create additional companies and operate them concurrently. Expansion involves learning the management systems, increasing facilities, and planning production across the businesses.
