Описание
Будьте готовы лоббировать политиков и законы, чтобы расширить сферы влияния. Коррумпируйте чиновников, создавайте барьеры и интриги против врагов. Перед вами целые исторические пласты, на которые вы сможете повлиять. Создайте самую могущественную финансовую империю. Но помните: никто не должен знать, кто правит миром на самом деле.


В игре отражен реальный динамический механизм экономики предприятий и страны. Достигнув масштабных уровней, ты можешь влиять на динамику цен, ВВП, безработицу и пр. целой страны.

Мы знаем, как утомляет излишний микроменеджмент, поэтому кроме ручного управления процессами внутри компании мы сделали и автоматическое. Назначайте директоров, и они возьмут на себя рутинные процессы. Создайте наиболее подходящую стратегию для текущих реалий рынка и делегируйте совету директоров задачи по управлению.

В игре вы можете увеличить план производства работников, длительность рабочего дня и снизить зарплату. Но угроза забастовки станет расти, увеличится аварийность предприятия. Персонал будет в бешенстве, все профсоюзы ополчатся на вас, но зато рентабельность компаний возрастет.

Забастовка повлияет на объем производства, компании станут терпеть убытки. Удовлетворите ли вы требования демонстрантов или разгоните толпу недовольных с помощью коррумпированных полицейских? Будете ли вы выжимать все соки из работников, действуя максимально жестко, или будете по-другому мотивировать персонал и повышать его квалификацию? У каждого решения свои последствия.

Выпускайте акции и облигации, капитализируйте свои компании и выводите их на биржу. Объединяйте свои компании в тресты и монополии, расширяйте зоны влияния и захватывайте доли рынка. Можете объединять компании и поглощать мелкие на рынке. Или можете применять более грязные методы конкурентной борьбы.
Установите доверительные отношения с главами компаний и вступите с ними в заговор, объединяясь в картели. Вместе вы можете уронить цены на продукцию на рынке и выдавить конкурентов, а после установления монополии взвинтить цену в 3 раза! Организовывайте забастовки и диверсии на предприятиях конкурентов, срывайте поставки и блокируйте логистику.

Рынок - это живая самоорганизующаяся материя, в которой функционирование отраслей взаимосвязано. Например, вы можете выкупить все транспортные компании в регионе и увеличить цену поставок для конкурентов в несколько раз, как это делал Рокфеллер в разгар захвата нефтяного рынка.
Никто не захочет работать в минус. Скрежеща зубами, конкуренты будут вынуждены рано или поздно продать вам свои компании. Но хватит ли у вас ресурсов на такую затратную стратегию? Или стоит действовать через лояльных политиков и задушить конкурентов нужными законами?

Выберите любую доступную отрасль промышленности и поглощайте рынок. Уничтожайте конкурентов, будьте безжалостными на пути к своей цели. Вы можете развивать и улучшать инфраструктуру своих предприятий. Технологии приносят в разы больше прибыли! Стройте новые здания, планируйте расширение и получайте повышенные дивиденды. Игра предоставит вам право выбора, каким образом вы сможете добиться экономического могущества.



В игре исполнительная власть представлена чиновниками федерального и локального уровней. Губернатор отвечает за благосостояние штата, казначей за финансы, прокурор и полиция за правопорядок, а судьи выносят решения.
Вы встретите симуляцию реального процесса принятия закона как на уровне регионов, так и на уровне всей страны. В игре моделируется реальная политическая система США. Политики решают значимые проблемы по вопросам финансирования, налогообложения, управления, бизнеса, образования, здравоохранения, миграции, социальных программ и прочего.

Можно нанимать политических лоббистов, которые хитро и умело смогут найти доводы для продвижения выгодного вам закона или невыгодного закона для ваших конкурентов. Спонсируйте избирательные кампании политиков, и они не останутся в долгу, когда вам потребуется их помощь. Либо собирайте на них компроматы и задействуйте подконтрольные вам СМИ, чтобы не оставить шанса сохранить свой пост тем, кто отказался стать вашей марионеткой.


Нужные законопроекты откроют для вас новые возможности для приумножения состояния. Станьте известным в политических кругах, повысьте свой статус и установите благоприятные отношения с влиятельными чиновниками и политиками.
Политические партии республиканцев и демократов различаются в своих идеологиях. Так, если вы приверженец политики кланового капитализма и хотите, чтобы правительство в меньшей степени могло влиять на регулирование рыночных отношений, то вам следует заручится поддержкой у республиканцев.
Например, вы можете создать свою монополию и протолкнуть законопроект, снижающий корпоративные налоги. Жадность - не всегда хорошо, научитесь балансировать и жонглировать интересами всех партий и кластеров общества, чтобы ваша монополия не рухнула как карточный домик.

Но если вы считаете, что для ваших интересов наиболее подходящими являются законопроекты демократических партий о продвижении социальных программ, снижающих безработицу, увеличивающих заработную плату, предоставляющих льготы населению и прочее, не упустите возможность подтолкнуть биль к его подписанию и принятию!
Используйте политиков и чиновников в своих целях. Будете ли вы улучшать благосостояние и уровень жизни населения или будете заботиться только о своем благополучии?

Если вы хотите играть грязно, вы должны использовать агентов влияния, которые являются вашими помощниками в трудных ситуациях. Есть множество уникальных персонажей, чьими руками вы можете сражаться с конкурентами. Создавайте политические интриги, тайные мошеннические манипуляции и выигрывайте конкурентов!

У вас есть огромный набор инструментов: вы можете использовать такие методы, как поджоги, аварии и т. д. А также использовать тайные и хитрые методы: организовывать забастовки и блокировать производство конкурентам, уклоняться от налогов, влиять на фондовый рынок, пользоваться услугами журналиста и средств массовой информации и другое. Но будьте осторожны, каждое незаконное действие строго наказуемо судом! Ну, или убедитесь, что судья и прокурор находятся на вашей стороне.


В игре экономика и политика имеют человеческое лицо: 15 тысяч персонажей, в числе которых акционеры, чиновники, политики, имеют свои интересы, страхи, амбиции, которые можно использовать как рычаги воздействия. Только представьте игровой мир, в котором все персонажи взаимодействуют друг с другом, покупают акции, лоббируют свои интересы, пытаются устроить свою жизнь.

Организуйте рауты и заводите полезные связи среди влиятельных людей. Дарите подарки, помогайте людям реализовать амбиции и вы получите доступ к колоссальным ресурсам. В игре каждый персонаж может таить в себе угрозу либо доступ к игровым ресурсам. Поэтому выбирайте, с кем заводить связи, осознанно!


Выигрывайте предметы роскоши на аукционе. Побеждайте в конкуренции за престижные лоты и повышайте свой социальный статус. Скупая лошадей, вы можете выигрывать деньги на скачках. Редкие монеты или картины обязательно вырастут в цене! Покупайте дома и получайте стабильно ежегодную ренту, породистых скакунов, автомобили, яхты и воздушные суда, чтобы ослепить высший свет своей роскошной жизнью.

Коллекционные предметы и предметы роскоши также является инструментом для построения дружественных отношений. Если какая-либо влиятельная персона увлекается редкими монетами, то почему бы тебе не стать коллекционером и не завязать дружбу на предстоящем светском рауте, как в своё время Ротшильд с принцем Гамбургским?
Вас ждет незабываемое приключение, длинной в роскошную, но трудную жизнь. Могущественные компании, коррумпированные политики и жадные до денег биржевые акулы… Хватит ли вам силы воли и духа, противостоять в этой схватке?

the whole game is unbalanced but it has real potential the concept is very good but some game mechanics are meaningless and it becomes boring quickly like a clicking simulator in a tycoon type of game
Best Capitalist simulator out there!
Boring. There's not much to do. The early game especially is absolutely brutal, where pretty much all you can do is click and pass time, buy/sell one of 2-8 different stocks, and wait for your really meager investments to turn into enough money where you can actually begin to do something.
The mechanics are confusing and you get the idea constantly that this game is nowhere near as deep as it wants you to believe.
It doesn't have the depth to be a meaty business sim. It doesn't have the visceral feeling of gaining power or the smooth mechanics to make it a good business themed game.
$25 for this is insane. I got it at 25% off and I feel like that price was also insane relative to what I got. Hard no unless they really work wonders with it at some point after this review (though I read that the updates aren't very frequent either).
Well thought out game.Can see it going far once all the features are added.
Currently only has sandbox and challenges. however still great fun to play.
Can be confusing to play at the start, but once you have worked out what everything does and how to make money, it just comes in.
Would highly recommend this game as a relaxing evening game, but be careful as you will get hocked and end up playing for hours
I like the games overall mechanics and overall graphics, since its an early access, it needs to be worked on and the events that happen on the game is awesome, I give it a perfect 10 out of 10.
At its current stage its not recommended, there are to many vital parts missing and UI/QoL fixes as to how the menu system flows to advice a buy,
Some examples,
As a owner of a bank I can only loan money to my own companies not other loosing out of vital revenue streams and the whole reason to own a bank the option to focus on markets towards private loans/small business owners would give a better depth and more "interesting" areas of risk etc. Or even if competing banks fail to repay loans I can take competitors over or if I target supplier networks of competitors and they go bankrupt again -> success for me.
Listing a company that you own 100% of seems impossible even after issuing shares it never becomes publicly traded.
Map filtering options reset every time you leave the map view = time consuming
Buying shares when wanting to fulfil an ambition brings you to the stock exchange even if the company is not publicly traded - bring me to the investor page instead to show who I can buy from.
Better insight as to number of shares a investor has rather then just % or show both when looking to buy again saving time
Both of the above then gives more insight easier before entering negotiations that has reputation impact if things don't work out, also when buying shares during an investor negotiation if you click (took me 6h before realising that I could change the number directly rather then clicking/holding the arrow again clearer UI needed in several places) If I remove 1 share to enter a number it constantly enters one until I add a 2 behind the 1 and then remove the 1 silly yes but time consuming.
I can go on, but again, there is huge potential but currently (and seeing the speed current development has) save your money and wait until the game is in a better/more mature stage
This game can be very addicting after you learn the ropes!
After a few starts and re-starts, I got the hang of it and in ten years - starting with 100K - I have amassed a $78M business empire! Got elected to the US Senate and am shooting for $100M within 15 years! Would be great if you add the roles of Governor and President!
This game is an absolute gem that gets better with eveyr update. It really scratches the 'run a business' itch in a way that no other simulator does.
Greatest business game i have played, every update makes the game so much better and bugs are actively patched. It gets repetitive but when there is no other game like this i keep coming back to it. Wish politics could be easier as sponsoring every individual politician when i have millions of dollars gets tedious. Just hope this game continues getting updates but i absolutely recommend. 10/10
if you enjoy looking at sheets and have medium level of knowledge in mathematics, this should be a enjoyable game with at least 50 hours of fun, the moment you solve the game you will have to go out of your way to find difficulties as you gain more and more money and influence. With time this game has been getting better and better, letting me come back and experience it multiple times and enjoying it every time!
Very good game. One of the best business sims on steam without a doubt. Developer constantly adding new features to the game making me come back and play a almost new game. This game has shifted so much since I bought it (In a good way). quality of life & new content almost regularly. Would def recommend
no france in game, very good
One of the greatest business games ever made. Still in development and each improvement makes the game all the better.
good concept
micromanagement
slow dev (bought and wait for 1 and a half year to play , still no new stuff)
4/10
Great!
Since we can buy cars also at a point. I think there should be car company also for player's to buy and sell or invest in. I mean i understand there is transportation company but there is no personal or luxury car company . I think it will be a great addition for plutocracy. Real estate can be another great addition.
It's a game you like ore hate, you will have to learn a lot to make it and that is what is like. cant wait for more ot be edit to the game love the holding stuf!
Honestly one of the best economy simulators that I can run on my relatively low end pc. 9/10 sometimes it crashes
Formed the biggest bank in NY. Wasn't enough.
Went on to purchase all the other banks in the USA, consolidated them all into a cartel. Wasn't enough.
Bought out all the politicians in NY, lowered all taxes, watched the money roll in. Drove up prices as high as possible to provide maximum shareholder value.
Had a rival owning 2% of my company that I couldn't buy out, sent 5 assassins to him to get him out the way, then bought his shares off his son. Helps that I own the prosecutor.
Politicians are the best thing money can buy :)
Alright, I really enjoy the economics, and the things you can do in this game to become a top dog in an industry, nice illustrations, music is okay - however this game still needs more time in the oven as it becomes quite repetitive, especially with "just" expanding and hiring new contractors. I like the random events but after a while I kept receiving the same ones which is a little bummer.
Don't get me wrong, this game has potential, that is why I am giving it a positive review, but it needs more mechanics, events, possibly more scenarios which I saw are in development. I hope for more frequent updates as well.
But yes - definitely give this one a go!
its a fun game, it has come a long way in the last 4 years. Hope they keep it up because there is still lots to do
Ever wonder how much fun it could be buying companies and then making money? Look no further.
New update
Buggy game. Spent hours playing this game and then my expenses went nan and it was all over
It quickly became repetitive and boring.
Needs more dev time
I do not have a ton of time in the game, but since there is so little content in the game currently you can fully explore all of it within a 10 hour window. The game lacks any real game play, you have no real way of affecting your company or the amount of money you make. Whats even better is the few things i liked about they game are forever stuck on "in development" you cannot cxreat your ownm company at all unless you merge another company but all of this is not even worth your time as you cannot manage all of whatc is happening in an effective manor. For example if i own 100% of a company and I will have to devote my chaarter as the ceo to effectively run the company, then if I do want an AI to be the CEO i can no longer control any shares of stock that the company may own...why, why can i not as the sole owner of acompany use my own funds to contiune to expand it.
TLDR: do not buy unless its been 5 years since this reeview, since they only update the game once a year.
The game consist of a couple of minigames "merged" together, it has nothing to do with actual stock market simulation or company management simulation, which is a shame because it kinda looks like.
Also the game should have been finished like ~2 years ago, but it is nowhere near completion, and the devs are making 1 update each year.
Dont waste your money on this game.
The game is very unique and fun. Update progress is slow however.
Addictive, very good mechanisms for economics and politics. Can't wait for the next updates, although that being on the slow side.
Police Chief keeps trying to blackmail me for massive sums of money I simply cant pay. Example is I have $120K in cash and stock combined but the police chief hits me with a $900K blackmail demand. Seems the balance there is massively broken. Makes it hard for me to actually enjoy the game being it takes a whole year or more to climb out of that debt just to fall even deeper into it when it happens again. Needs work, not enjoyable in this state. That being said I do enjoy this game and would love to see it work right.
This is a very fun game. Even though at the time of this playing it's still in early access status. I've been playing it in the sandbox mode with the goal of obtaining money wealth. It took a while to figure out how to play this game, but as I explored my different options available to me in the game I learned more and more about how to play and what to do.
Addictive, very good mechanisms for economics. Can't wait for the next updates.
Recommended if you are interested in the stock market and video games. It greatly fills the niche I was looking for in those overlapping interests... hopefully, the developers have more plans for the game. I really wish I could found my own business from the start instead of having to generate enough ownership in shares to takeover an existing one.
Good game but kinda gets boring after few hours...
Pretty good economic / political simulation.
Brilliant game
I Loove this game <33
Mr Krabs Sim
Not worth whatever it costs now. Crashes a lot. To help speed up production of the game they should lower the price or make it free and get more critical feedback
A smart, highly educative business game that tells you in an engaging way how we got to where we are as a western society. Nothing personal, just the wish to HAVE MORE money and power. That's how. It's in our nature. It's also in our nature not to stop even when we understand we have to. But we can't. So it's up to the Nature to balance and regulate us, cuz we can't do it ourselves, we're too weak against our hormones that dictate MORE, MORE, MORE.
In the game industry that's hopelessly stuck in endless production of dumb shooters, this is one of the most important and entertaining games on the market. I pray the developers will add everything they promise, it's going to be well worth the money.
Highly recommended!
A great game
Not enough content to justify the price, development is also pretty slow.
very good game.
Great game, and very satisfying. I'm looking forward to more in the future, and I will definitely come back for more updates or even DLCs.
Confusing, hard to grasp, not enough depth, these are just some of the ways id describe plutocracy.
Don't buy for 25.
Could be worthy in about 25 years of development at this rate.
I can see where they wanted to go with the game, but honestly it falls short by an outrageously long distance.
The idea can be improved on by another dev company and go a slightly different trajectory and hit mass market attention during an upcoming election cycle, I just don't see these guys pulling it off. It's been 5 years and its still falling this short I mean, operation implausible.
Expand on business control, Expand on depth, Expand on amount of businesses, Introduce making your own companies without needing to spend millions.
I wanted to like this game. I'll continue to try and find ways to find entertainment/enjoyment from it since I'm now stuck with it after the 2 hour mark.
Might have been fun if i gave myself endless cash & clout. (influence)
Capitalism lab mixed with this genre of game idea might be a cool mashup.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you guys can pull through devs. Good luck
I really like the game and it scratches and itch that not many games really fill. The only thing I would say is some feedback for the devs in a concise format
-Clicking too much to do the same stuff repeatably. (Doing favors, lobbying politicians, character interaction past a one off interaction)
-Economy. It's hard for me to tell as a player what exactly my business is doing, I can understand the supply chain a little bit such as mines create stuff for steel mills but how much is needed to make steel? how efficient is my industry how much supply do I need and how do I get that much. Harder to answer from the info I am given or at least what I can infer.
-Companies. I don't like how companies work right now when you begin to expand outside of a single state, having a bunch of Trusts sounds cool in some circumstances but it feels awkward when you have 50 different railway comapnies that are seemingly unconnected in any meaningful way, same for banking, does my market share of the US mean anything if I only do business in one state but I have a large bank. Hard to tell.
-Business. It would be nice if you could startup businesses rather than just buy into them, if I wanted to make a partnership with another investor I should be able to.
-Confusing info. For politics in particular I often found myself confused especially when it came to tariffs and whether I should be for or against them. Is it putting a tariff on my goods, foreign goods, all companies, my companies. It gives enough information to be vague but not clear.
-Trading. This is less of a problem I have with the game and more of a quality of life I would like to see. If there was some form of commodity trading or chart that I could see and react to accordingly I think that would be neat, if I had a monopoly on oil and saw that oil was not very cheap due to overproduction compared to demand then decreasing the price based off a shorthand chart would be beneficial. Same for other goods and services.
-Local/County goods. I cant tell how much of the state affects the country economy and how much the country economy affects the state or if there is even a relationship between the two. I notice that there are no states with oil business and refinery business so it makes me think that there has to be some form of oil transport to a state with refinery but beyond that oddity its impossible for me to know. An expansion of this mechanic with continental pipelines, infastructure, vertical integration and responsiveness would be nice to see.
I was going to write out some more stuff I would like to see but i know the game is early access and will add more in the future so I wanted to leave on a more positive note. I really enjoy the game and plan to play it even more now and into the future, I hope the dev team keeps up consistent updates and improve the quality as it develops. I wouldn't mind DLC that could expand into other aspects of the time period such as foreign markets, wars, even crime or some other game play expansion.
I love the artwork
I love the theme
I love the different types of options you have to get where you want
I love the historic characters
I really do like the small things like the glass of whisky on your table or the very detailed description of the agents
I really do like the different weather, when you look at the window
I really do like the managing stuff options in your companies
but..
As almost every negative entry here on almost every youtube video already suggests:
At a certain point the game gets very repetive.
Once you realize that half of the features dont really affect the only way to win the game, the game loses all its charme.
What do i mean?
The agents wont guarantee anything - just another % bar swinging left and right. You cant hire or buy them, theyre just a reward. (so the skilltree with the agents doesnt make any sense to me.
Every single aspect which includes politics does not really change any outcome. If it wasnt in the game, you would play the game the exact same way as before. Same goes for religion.
Having to skip to every end of quarter does make me feel like i have to press "end round" everytime. Also i have never not pressed this button. This means the time in which nothing happens is way too long.
Sorry devs.. but at this stage this game isnt worth 25€.
The game is great and seeks to implement real corporate world mechanics, there's nothing like this game in the market yet. Waiting for bigger updates.
Realy good game where you can devlope your patrimoine and your companies.
