Our take on Mobile Empire
The store copy emphasizes a long technological progression and a large number of designs, but the core loop is presented as a repeated cycle of research, staff management, phone creation, and profit-making. The range of systems is broad, while the description gives little sense of how those systems shape moment-to-moment play.
What is Mobile Empire?
Mobile Empire is a PC simulation game about running a mobile-phone manufacturing company from 2001 through 2035.
