Just as the title suggested, Truck Tycoon is a management sim game just like our previous review Pizza Magnate. Not many people like the idea of management sim, but there’s also large group of fans who enjoyed this type of games. Does this game from Lunagames brings anything new to the table, I wouldn’t say so, but I would say I’m well satisfied with the game and definitely enjoyed myself while playing the game.

Pretty obvious, in truck tycoon you are in charge of building your own trucking empire. Truck tycoon is very similar to the old classic like Railroad Tycoon, if you loved the classic, you won’t be disappointed in this game as well. The game is set in scenario, and your goal or objective is to achieve the requirement within the amount of given time. It really doesn’t matter what your goal is because in Truck Tycoon, it is boiled down to some very simple formula, you set up factory then connect it to the resources on the map, finally sell off the resources that you have gathered to earn more money. There is a total of 8 scenarios for you to play and it would probably takes a few hours before you can finish it. After you completed the main game, you can play the sandbox mode for unlimited gameplay.

This basic formula of building, harvesting and doing business is fun and addicting. The gameplay mechanics is very simple, make sure you have enough cash flow to build more road and factory. I like the idea of management tycoon, it is a very basic idea how a business run, not too difficult to learn and well suitable for the young kids. Graphically, it looks a little old as the game was made back in 2004, but still the building and interface look nice and sharp enough for a tycoon game. There is a lot to like about this game, for game such as truck tycoon give you a sense of accomplishment watching your empire growing bigger and bigger. From a factory with a truck to a gigantic busy business operation. Scrolling through your nicely build building and road empire has never been more satisfying.

Overall if you like management types of game, then Truck Tycoon is another good choice of game. It is very well designed and offered a lot more than just an classic clone. If you don’t like management type of game in first place, then I don’t think Truck Tycoon would change your opinion either.

Score: 7.8/10
