Mall Craze

Tycoons are an ever-popular genre and Mall Craze is the latest addition to this fan favorite field. Mall Craze is a game where you can build and manage your very own mall. The game allows you to create shops within the mall, hire staff, and fulfill your customer’s needs.

The game is currently in early access, with community feedback welcome. The developers of Mall Craze are dedicated to making the game as entertaining as possible and have been taking community feedback and actively using it in their game to improve. The full game is slated to be released September 19th, featuring more shops, improved performance, and a campaign mode.

Beloved by the Community

Mall Craze isn’t just another game. It got its start with a kickstarter, asking the community for $7,500 to cover the costs of developing the game. The community game them so much more than that, with the kickstarter finishing at $12,000.

It’s very evident from the overwhelming support of the community that this had strong support from the very beginning—always a good sign.

Well Developed

So far, the game is working great. It could benefit from a more advanced tutorial, but the community has found few to no bugs during testing. The only complaints players have offered is that there isn’t enough shops or other options offered during the beta—but this is an unfair critique for an incomplete game.

As it is, the game offers better graphics than games like Mall Tycoon and has a lot to offer. With so much more about to be released in September, this is a very exciting game. If you like balancing a customers needs with profits, aesthetics, and other factors, you will enjoy the complex world of Mall Craze.

Management is very Smooth

The game offers some very nice menus to help players navigate the management side of Mall Craze. One of the menus shows you at a glance where you are with your mall’s popularity, including how shops are doing, aesthetics, and profits.

The menu paints a clear picture of where the mall is at, so players can make improvements through upgrades or additions to help improve the mall.

Graphics are Reasonable

While the graphics won’t blow anyone away any time soon, they are very good, especially for a tycoon game. Lights reflect on the tile floors, and while the people in the mall look like something out of Roblox, they’re not as pixelated as in Minecraft.

The result is a very pleasant appearance. Players can enjoy a pleasantly laid out world while they work on building their mall.

If you’re a fan of tycoons, or have liked similar mall tycoons from the past, this game is a must for your wish list. Although early access is somewhat limited since it is a game in progress, the full release promises to fix that in a big way.

Pros:

• Decent graphics
• Smooth navigation

Cons:

• Tutorial isn’t well developed
