Diamond City: Idle Tycoon

There are a lot of games just like this out there, so there’s no need to put up with the annoyance of a forced ad every 30 seconds when I can download a dozen other games just like it that don’t do that. After a brief tutorial your screen will be filled with things asking you spend real money for very little benefit. Some are much more expensive than they should be. You’ll also have to sit through a short ad just about every time you try to do anything. This type of game can be fun, and I’m happy to watch an ad when it’s my choice of when to watch it and I actually get some sort of reward for it, but any game that forces ads randomly on the player gets uninstalled immediately.

Nice graphics and character models. I enjoy the simplicity of the game and casual nature of slowly building of your city. But, that is the problem. It’s too time consuming to progress. That doesn’t mean anyone has to play for an hour or more to get anywhere; just the opposite. There’s not much in the way of generating substantial capitol to move forward, and upgrades are very expensive. I’ve been stuck in the second city ever since I downloaded this app. That is not fun at all. Oh well… I gave it a try… but the income-to-overhead ratio is completely unbalanced.

I’m still in the early stages of the game but so far I’ve found it to be enjoyable. It’s definitely similar to the litany of simulation games available on the App Store but the graphics are crisp and clean, the game doesn’t lag and so far I haven’t found any bugs or had any kind of crashing problems. It’s a solid simulation game well worth investing some of your time in.
