Coffee Inc 2+

Rarely write reviews, but this game is great. The bug where all the stores would just randomly disappear and you’d go bankrupt has been fixed! Thank you to the devs for that. Only things preventing five stars: (1) I was playing on advanced/expert mode and it only allowed one other coffee company to go public the entire time, which prevents M&A strategy, and I am up to year 2041; (2) I play with three other competitors. It does not allow you to put competitors out of business any other way besides M&A, it appears; (3) love the political system in the game, but it’d be nice to have ballot initiatives that are pro-business if you elect conservatives - such as tax breaks, import subsidies - instead of anti-business (minimum wage, city tax, etc.) and then repeal options. Give us some carrot, not all stick!; (4) you always will reach a point in the game where no additional shops are available to rent. Part of this is due to points 1 and 2, I believe. This prevents major growth in business; (5) more stock market trading features, such as more companies; (6) more stock buyback options so founder can more easily get back equity in the company especially after second offerings. Update: thank you for the detailed response! The only other thing I would add is that it is extremely hard to tinker with CEO compensation except from the beginning. Usually the board votes 3 to 4 against any raise or keeping the same. I appreciate the response to your players!

I was excited for this game’s release because it looked fun on the images. I can tell you I’m not disappointed! I like the fact that you have competition you have to beat while managing funds and the many different laws the cities will pass to try to hinder your growth. However every game has room for improvement 1. Tutorial When I started playing I was confused and especially for clueless younger users it will be hard for them to figure things out. A tutorial would be much appreciated. 2. Customization after starting After playing for a bit I’ve wanted the ability to change my name; or the difficulty but the ability isn’t provided. I know this would be a big ask but it would be nice to have those added abilities. 3. More cities This one isn’t necessary but I feel like more cities would make the game have more strategy and would take longer to have it all under your coffee empire. I know there are plantations in Jamaica, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Vietnam, and Indonesia but I would want cities in those countries too because it would make for a more interesting play style. (It would also even the distribution of cities (there are 0 in Africa and South America)). Overall this is a great game and deserves 5 stars.

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time with this game. The level of detail—from managing individual departments to the complexity of the stock market and executive hiring—is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a business simulator. It’s refreshing to find a game that captures the nuances of running a company so well.  However, I’ve hit a few hurdles regarding office space and HR management that could use some improvement. Currently, once a department hits its physical desk capacity (like my HR floor reaching 24/24), it’s difficult to expand without essentially rebuilding your entire operation in a new location. The game’s notification system also makes it tricky to manage staffing across multiple buildings, as it continues to prompt for more employees even when I’ve opened capacity elsewhere.  It would be a huge quality-of-life improvement if there were better ways to manage inter-building departments or clearer tools for expanding headcount without needing to duplicate expensive executive teams. Despite these management bottlenecks, it’s a brilliant tycoon game that I highly recommend to anyone who loves deep, realistic strategy. Keep up the great work, devs!"
