March of Industry: Very Capitalist Factory Simulator Entertainments Reviews

Pretty shallow. I was wishing there were more depth like spacechem, but there's only two types of "combiner engines" and it quickly turns into doodle god with memes, trying all the combinations until you get bored and check the wiki. And you have a rectangle select for batch selling, but not for batch moving? Why?

A few hours worth of game play.... Would not recommend. Play factorio for the same price, and a full actually game. I'm talking 80+ hours for a game of factorio vs a few hours for this game...

This game is a cheap clone of big pharma and factorio (coming to steam soon). It lasts maybe an hour of play then it expects you to jump through the hoop of prestiging, like in CoD or idle games. The only difference is in those games prestiging is used to extend the life of the game by forcing you to restart to earn bonuses. In this game, you restart to earn useless machines that are purely convenience. The whole challenge in this game is derived from matching resources together to complete objectives and earn money. Once you prestige you do the exact same thing all over again, with the same knowledge of combinations. It lasts maybe and hour, and after that it's a game all about waiting. Unless you choose to install mods, this game isn't worth the price of admission.

Not a good game. Sound track is annoying, reciepes make no sense making the discovery element arbitrary, interface is tedious. Play time is inflated because I afked to get cards (Because I'm a huge nerd).

Really wasn't expecting it to be what it was. The idea seems really cool and I love these sorts of games but the fact the game tells you absolutely nothing and I slammed my face into a wiki just to find out how to make a carbon based weapon wasn't doing the game any favours. It would have been easy to overlook as a discovery game until the further I got in, it's all about putin's shorts. Combining Vodka and the Internet to make a firewall that makes all porn have realistic writing. Oh how funny(!) This game really does try too hard and passes absolutely nowhere other than the core idea. It seems like a quick rush based off Big Pharma's relative success filled with a bunch of 12 year old "omg im so random xd" humour and it's not cute about it at all.

Went in expecting something like Factorio, turns out it has all of the boring set-up and none of the fun automation.

The game started out as a free to play, cartoonish, factorization game and I was quite enthused to play it, but then the developers changed plans and stated that it was going to be 9.99 US; this did not drive me away, I saw great promise in it still (against others warnings) Finally, after I had gotten the game and enjoyed it for about 2-3 hours, and I wished to add some items from the website, but the system did not work at all. I stopped playing, awaiting some sort of fix, but no updates have been passed in the year since I've purchased the game, so now I'm left here to stew.

I agree with others that the game is too short for the price. I understand that the design choice was to allow each play through to be around an hour, focusing on replayability. My disapoitment was after the first play through I found myself doing the same thing over and over again. Pros [list] [*]It's an automation game [*]Interesting Non-Grid/Non-Tiled approach [*]Mod Support, but not really integrated into the game itself. [*]Humor [/list] Cons [list] [*] No Tutorial or information on how an object functions [*] Very short production chains (I believe the max uses 5 items) [*] Very simple production chains (Combine 1 or Combine 2 items) [*] Very little replayability. No randomness... (outside of one unlocked machine each new game+) Everything is the same, No Events, No Quests( Random Orders) [*] Only supports Just In Time Manufacturing, All machines are either on or off. If you get backed up, you stop your production chain by moving parts out of the way. [*] Only 10 Achievements. Again for a game about replayability this seems counter. [*] Sound is painful, I had to turn mine off. [*] Automation is limited, simple, repeditive nothing like Factorio or FortressCraft Evolved. [*] As of 10/8/2015 The developer says he might be adding more content, but that players can mod easy. http://forums.8bitmmo.net/index.php?/topic/7935-are-there-any-plans-to-continue-work-in-this-game/ [/list]

Despite being a huge fan of Factorio and having enjoyed Big Pharma (although that was a little repetitive) I approached this game with an open mind. I had no real expectations that it would be anything other than a relatively casual factory/automation sim. Unfortunately it really isn’t a very good game, which is a shame since it could have been something quite entertaining. I’ll summarise my thoughts as a serious of pros and cons: Pros • It’s fairly cheap • Very easy to get up and running in the game – it’s quite simple and self-explanatory. Cons • Far too simple and the automation side of things is very limited. Loading things into boxes only seems to work some of the time so I still had weapons spilling out onto the floor. • The sound effects are horrendous. I actually ended up switching off the sound after a few minutes of playing. • The controls are very clunky, having to drag and drop things that have fallen of conveyor belts one by one isn’t much fun. Would also be nice if the conveyor belts etc remembered which orientation you last had them in, although that’s just personal preference really. • Very, very repetitive. Really it shows it’s free to play roots and from what I can tell it’s been switched over to a paid model with few changes. TLDR: Don’t bother with this game. If you really have an automation itch that needs scratching wait for Factorio to come on Steam (or buy it from their website now). Failing that if you want something less complex (than Factorio) get Big Pharma.

Way too short and boring for the price tag. I beat the game in little under an hour and there isn't much to do after unlocking potato stuff. Just spam Putin's Gym Shorts until you get all the money then forget about the game. It feels more like an early beta rather that something that's supposed to be released already
