Big Business Deluxe

Though reminiscent of just about any other city builder, Big Business is certainly an amusing way to spend my free time. I do enjoy that there are lots of side quests to busy myself with whilst waiting for my products to be complete. Ads are entirely optional, which is amazing. However, I am a little concerned about the number of prompts to purchase things with real money. A persistent bar on the side of my screen, a whole tab dedicated to spending real money, the whole ‘VIP’ thing.. it just seems a bit much. But at least it’s livable. A similar city building game drove me away by ramping up its ads and purchase opportunities to an extreme level, so comparatively, you’re doing good. Anyways, I think that’s about all from me. Thank you for reading and considering my review.

The game as a whole is pretty good. Lots of things to do and will keep you pretty captivated for a while, if you have the time to spare. Its really hard getting capital to spend on things because the businesses like coffee houses, hot dog stands, and skateparks that produce income, do not accumulate over time. When you get on 8 hours later, you will collect the same amount from them as when its first available to collect. The only money you really make is from the production of goods. I’ve had to spend hours just spamming grain and flour to make quick cash to buy things. The other major problem is the administrative building. You have a limit on number of building you can have vs the level of your administrative building. The problem is, upgrading the building only gives you maybe 2-5 more building slots, and dumb things like trees take up building spots. So you end up spending so much money just trying to level up your administrative building to have room for buildings that you no longer have the money to purchase those buildings. One bug I’ve been experiencing is the relocation tool. You have to manually move each building one by one, there is no way to edit the entire city at once and remove buildings. It takes forever. On top of that, in my city, i can only move 2-3 things before my game crashes and resets the progress of the last few movements. I’m guessing that the devs are inactive because I’ve played this a few years ago and not much has changed if anything. Once things start requiring more time I’ll have to find a new game, I don’t have the time to spend hours every day trying to make money to buy one building, or upgrade my administrative building AGAIN.

I played this game a couple years ago for quite some time. I only quit due to medical issues. Im back again bc I love this game. When I quit before I was in a corporation and had over 15 million dollars. You have to be a smart business person to get far in the game. I saw on a review where they wished there was a way to collect all the money at one time. Well there is. Just go to your briefcase and open it and scroll along until you come to a calculator. Use it and it will collect all your income. Its that simple. I recommend joining a corporation bc it gets you further in the game faster and you have the benefits of having friends to help you along the way and give you tips and free gifts. All in all I think this game is fabulous and recommend it to anyone who likes city building games.
