Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon is a technique simulation sport printed by Final Video games. You handle a small oil rig enterprise, rising it as massive as attainable. The objective is to maintain your workers completely happy and protected, make a revenue, construct a superb status, and, in the end, handle a profitable oil rig. However does this title stand out in opposition to different enterprise tycoons?
The sport begins with an interactive tutorial, which I appreciated. Some enterprise administration video games have many shifting items, jobs to juggle, and buttons to be taught. Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon is not any completely different. You don’t construct an oil rig after which sit again and watch the cash circulate in. No, this sport actually put the “handle” in “enterprise administration.”
In Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon, you’ll must construct your oil rig from scratch. After all, you’ll want workers to handle the oil rig, sort things after they’re damaged, and extra. However the workers have to be completely happy, wholesome, and protected. So, you’ll additionally must construct kitchens, bedrooms, and the like. I discovered retaining the workers completely happy essentially the most troublesome half. They don’t like working in noisy areas, however they’re on an oil rig in the midst of the ocean; it’s noisy by default. Every constructing you place causes a specific amount of noise, so in the event you place a bed room close to it, for instance, the workers will get unhappy. Thus, they gained’t carry out properly.
There are eight missions to finish, every one getting progressively extra difficult. For instance, one mission is to construct a profitable oil rig in pirate waters. Sure, there are pirates, krakens, and climate points to be cautious of. To be sincere, I felt these points weren’t as unhealthy as retaining the workers completely happy sufficient to proceed working. I restarted my first mission 4 instances as a result of all my workers give up. At that time, the sport was extra irritating than enjoyable.
The controls aren’t a stroll within the park, both. The sport’s interface is inside one round menu with submenus that it’s good to navigate. Even after enjoying by means of the tutorial, there are such a lot of buildings and different gadgets to construct I had a troublesome time remembering the place every part was. Fortunately, you’ll be able to change the sport’s velocity, so I used to be capable of pause my oil rig whereas I scrolled by means of the huge menu to search out what I wanted. However then I’d notice I wouldn’t have the sources or supplies to construct what I wanted. I felt like I used to be all the time a step behind the place the sport wished me to be.
As well as, if you’re capable of construct one thing, putting it on the oil rig may be tough. The digital camera isn’t nice, and relying on what number of different buildings you could have on the rig, it may be troublesome to see precisely the place you’re putting the brand new constructing. After all, you’ll want cash to create new buildings. As with most enterprise simulation video games, this may be tough to do early on. You want cash to earn cash, and the sport doesn’t offer you a lot to begin.
The missions in Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon aren’t essentially troublesome. I largely discovered navigating the gameplay, managing my workers, and making certain I had sufficient cash to do what I wanted essentially the most troublesome elements. For example, every mission has three elements to it. After finishing two out of the three elements, the subsequent mission unlocks. I discovered this to be annoying as a result of I typically felt caught. I didn’t wish to really feel caught in a enterprise administration sport; I wish to really feel wealthy. There’s a sandbox mode, which did add to the enjoyable. Nonetheless, in the event you’ve been scuffling with the buttons or navigating the sport for some time, then the sandbox isn’t as nice because of the lack of course. I felt like there was no completely happy medium with this sport.
I had enjoyable with Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon at first. Nonetheless, the extra I performed it, the extra irritated I received. It wasn’t as intuitive as I hoped it’d be. As with all tycoon sport, I wished my essential mission to be wealthy and profitable. I didn’t care in regards to the different missions, solely to be rewarded with having to construct a brand-new oil rig from scratch. If you happen to get pleasure from enterprise sims and are in search of a problem, this sport might be up your alley. However for me, I feel I’ll stick with different tycoon video games.
