Real environment

Since it is a simulation experience game, authenticity is the focus of the game, and the development team has constructed a near-real urban environment for players. The game includes residential areas with a population of more than one million people, and any action taken by the player in these areas causes the people in the residential area to change in real time. Players can choose to sit back and watch the money accumulation of the business district you create, watch the daily life of the people in your building, or go out on the street and inspect the people for themselves. When you decide to open up a certain sector, the player has to watch closely, monitor the reactions of the people around the business district, and adjust your plan to meet the different wishes of everyone on the street. New York City has a large population, so everyone has their own thoughts, states, desires, and daily lives. Players can also be rewarded with a lot of money if they talk to them in detail, solving their daily annoyances and giving them what they need.

Game screen

From the screen of the trial, the game's 3D graphics engine is very good, and players can use the middle and right mouse buttons to rotate and zoom the perspective. Some small details in the game, such as walking citizens, buildings under construction, and even walking vehicles can be real representation, and real-time changes in the time, weather and other factors will be present in the game. However, the author found that there was a BUG error on the screen when the DEMO was running: the character map was broken. As for whether it is only an individual case, it remains to be verified, and we believe that these problems can certainly be solved by the official version of the listing.

Game sound

The game music is dominated by a brisk POP style, but only appears during the Start menu and loading programs. In the course of the game to rich sound mainly. As the player's screen moves and changes in real time, for example, in front of the wide square we will hear the crisp sound of birds, and when the player comes to the subway, you can also hear the sound of wheels when running. These sounds are only embellish, but players can also use them to determine whether an area is thriving, whether people's lives and business activities are active.

In general, Tycoon evolves from the traditional simulation approach, incorporating both SimCity's emphasis on architectural themes and the SIMS 'interactions between characters and business activities. As a combination of a variety of elements of the simulation business skit game, it is still worth players to try, please pay attention to the official version of the game launched.
