Mall Empire Reviews

* The ui is horrible * The achivement spam blocks some of the buttons * Collecting money is tedious as it's a button per store rather than clicking on the store * The 2x store bonus bug out and can't be bought after rank 1 * The grammer is kinda bad * All the tips are frontloaded rather than told as needed which means you will miss parts. * The investments don't really show well enough what they are helping * The stock used per day is not shown so it's hard to know if you are maximizing your shops The game just has a lot of small compounding issues that make it rather mediocre and the stuff listed is not even everything.

Looks like a retro 90s classic game. Management game where you can build a 15 story mall with various stores and upgrade them to get more money. You can buy investments, upgrades, houses for your customers and start an advertising campaign. to get more customers. After you get the hang of it, it's fun to play. A few achievements are hard to come by. pros: has cards has 400 achievements (all working) you can save your progress cons: paused if you alt+tab the game some minor bugs if you reconstruct your mall Game is neither bad nor good, therefore 5/ 10.

That game is a fine example of a great idea, which is unfortunately poorly executed. I mean, first it really looks like a promising game. You can get to unlock some stores, invest some money to improve your income, get a loan if you need etc. Then, when you click to unpause, you realize where you've just got yourself into... Well, how could I describe it in a practical manner? I guess that the best way, it would be to call it a "micro-management fest". That's because you actually gotta click on every single store that you have every day, in order to collect the cash that you make. At the beginning, it's no big deal, but just wait a lil' while and you'll see what madness it is. Oh, and if one reason isn't more than enough, you also have to click often to upgrade your stores as they level up (increasing stock and quality of items). So, pick up these two chaotic ingredients, blend them up and now you have a cocktail from hell. Of course, we can't forget to put a cherry inside of it: This game is one of those notorious achievements spammers. That by itself isn't really a big issue, except that the developers should have never inserted the damn buttons that you have to click on all the time, precisely at the right corner of the screen. Ok, what else... There're also some broken achievements. That's because there're some you can only unlock after building a certain combination of stores. No matter how many times you try, they simply won't work. This game should also be known as one of those "FPS killers", because depending on how big your mall is, things will become really sluggish, and that can definitely wear on your patience (kinda like adding insult to injury). Hmm, there're some glitches too. I've seen some customers walking on air for whatever reason; there were times where I couldn't build an elevator (at all), and there were also some stores that wouldn't fit where you've clicked (they'd always skip to the next block). Now that we're through all this, then what about the overall aspects? The graphics are ok, I guess. My only complaint is that the stores seem dead, as there's no movement going on, other than the costumers walking in front of them. There're no sound effects, and there's only one song available, which isn't really a bad thing, but it naturally gets annoying after listening to it for a long period of time. The game doesn't provide you any campaign mode, so my only guess is that you can say that you've truly finished this game, after you've successfully managed to unlock every possible achievement. As mentioned earlier, the gameplay itself could really use some improvement. Well, for now this is my opinion. I doubt that the gameplay mechanics of having to click all the time will ever change, but I think that at least the broken achievements could be fixed. Just to finish, I hope that the next games from that company will be better, because their premise is surely interesting.

Was quite confusing to start as no instructions at all. I would enjoy if not for having to click each store to get the sales $$. once you ahve a few levels of the mall it is stressful not enjoyable having to click click click. Crossing my fingers they change that function as I would enjoy it otherwise. Not likely to play again if not changed but for $3 oh well..

TL;DR: It looks like it still on its early version. Consider it before buying: its a incomplete version of something that will never be completed. Full review: Well, the game only launches when I choose the "fastest" graphics. Otherwise, it crashes. First off: there is no zoom. And I can't navigate using my keyboard, only mouse. And its annoying. It seems that there is no quest/misson either. Its just a regular sim tower with new (?!) graphics. It seems that there is no "info" about the shops/stores. Its just a poor quality sprite. The costumers comes all together and leaves all together. Like a mob of zombies. Its ugly. It lacks tutorial. I don't know what am I supposed to do. The concept is fantastic (as proven by Sim Tower.) but I was hoping for something much more... 2017. It seems it is an earlier version of something that could, but will never be really enjoyable, neither for hardcore gamers or casual gamers.

Actually a pretty entertaining game. Hours of fun. It's a great game to relax and listen to music. You can build your mall as high as you want, and build as many shops as possible. I'd recommend this if you are looking for a quick, fun game.

English in this game is awful, making sometimes the [i]tutorial[/i] hard to understand; tutorial which consists of 12 tips. That's it. You'll find yourself confused wondering what the hell to do; and when you will understand it, you'll be already bored given the repetitiveness of the game. Refunded after 10 min.

[b]My review to Mall Empire[/b] In this game allows you to build your own modern mall. You have more than 50 stores and different combinations to choose from. Furthermore, You can see your income and expenses in the financial reports and other reports. And many more. [u][b]Pro:[/b][/u] + Steam Trading Cards + 400 Steam-achievements + Management + Build your own mall + Points Shop Items Available [u][b]Contra:[/b][/u] - No controller support - Some few bugs [h1]I recommend this game![/h1]

Not a bad little time waster if a little simplistic. Take out a loan, build a bunch of stuff, and collect the lewt. Bonus if you can click alot and get the bigger cash (which is actually annoying). For $2 (in the summer '17 sale) and with 400 actually not gratuitious (in the age of cheevo one-upping) achievements, it is all right. Buy it on sale or in a bundle and I think you will be ok with it. 5/10 on sale

Don't let the positive reviews fool you. There's nothing of quality here. It's just a bad clicker, nothing more. Nothing's explained. Many things don't work as they should. There's no point to the game, and no purpose. It plays like a game that was just released for early access. The fact that this is the full release is unbelieveable. This game clearly needs many more months of development to be considered a full release. I understand that this game is the dev's first, but this is not the condition you release a game in. Period. I have over 700 games, and this will be the first one I ask for a refund for. Avoid.
