E-Startup Reviews

The game is fun although still in developement. It can use more work like don't make me constantly go to the truck for jobs! That gets annoying. Make the game room and meeting rooms more interactive for the employees. Set it up where you can have different departments like The Design team, The engineering team etc. overall it is a decent game and worth the $3 I paid for it keep making it better Devs!

This game had been on my wish list since it came out. When it went on sale i decided to pick it up. This game was so underwhelming it's impressive. I cannot see this game going anywhere since no progress is being made in the game and there STILL is nothing there to do. This game is about as barebones as it gets.

Okay, so... I don't see this game labeled as EA despite that it's obviously still in development. So that's already huge warning sign, Building and placing object is fun until you realize that it's pointless. Just get your computer desks and object creating machines in a room and place few storages and mood items. You can stack them. That is until you buy a soda machine which is actually use by employees. When being used employees do not work and in my experience get stuck (not working) to the end of that day. Setting work schedule does work in a way that employees get instruction to head to work when it's a time you set. That means they come late EVERY time. Sometimes even 1 hour 30 minutes late. They leave on point... I wonder if you pay them for the time they are not actually in a building. I would guess that you do. But the best part is that if you send your emloyees on vacations or you pay them to train it's basically as if you would fire them (except for that you still pay them every day). First playthrough ended by bankruptcy because I was waiting for my employees to come back from vacations (and that never happened). Second playthrough I bought a lot of plants, gave high bonuses so I would avoid sending employees on a vacation but I reage quited when they didn't come back from their training. I would recommend to avoid this game for now...

Bugs galore, played this a few years ago now it doesn't even seem to make any items anymore, No idea why. waste of time and money would delete if it wasn't a cloud based game.

Horrible optimization Horrible game mechanics (somany details that make gameplay uncomfortable) Super early game... I don't recommend to buy it now

I reccomend this game only because it is in the Alpha stage of development, and the price reflects that. This game has a lot missing from it, but the core idea behind it is really strong. You have a couple different routes to operate your business and make money, and it truly is open to whichever you choose (or all of them). What I noticed right away is that ther is no tutorial, whihc means you are pretty much on your own to figure out what is happening in game, or where to even begin. However, it isn't super complicated, and I am very familar with this genre, so it wasn't THAT big of a learning curve. I noticed almost immediatly that there is currently no difference between the 4 different types of employees you can hire. The "deliverer" and "engineer" are both capable of creating assets for your websites. I know this will be fixed eventaully, but it was a little puzzling never the less. Another really tiny detail was that the motion across the map was incredibly sensitive. If my cursor went within an inch of the edge of the screen, I suddenly went flying across the map. There is also no way (that I was able to figure out) to rotate your screen, so there was almost half of my building that was unusable, simply because it was blocked by a wall and I couldn't see it. Other than those details, and some obviously alpha bugs, it really is a solid game. If you are a fan of business style "tycoon" games, then I would definitely pick this one up.

The game is unplayable and as I understood, the developer can't/won't update it or fix it. In fact he started a sequel for it :/

E-Startup is currently a small game with lots of potential for future development. Creator seems to work hard to add new content and fix bugs immediately, and that's really good. Game itself is basically a game about producing stuff and selling it. Ability to build your own office from the scratch is a really nice touch, and I sure hope there will be more options regarding that in the future (maybe additinal floors or more furniture? Who knows?) Of course, since it's still in early access, there are lots of bugs and things missing. At first players might be confused because lack of tutorial, but game itself is not complicated too much, so in few minutes most of gamers should get a touch of it. In the end, I look forward to see game grow and I hope to be able to see it come out from Early Access as well.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game. It is highly unpolished and has many game-breaking bugs. The developer has admitted that he has all but abandoned it (saying that it was developed in free time, and now he has basically gone on to new and better things?). I had high hopes, but...sorry, no.

Has potential, super early access of course, so a lot of bugs expected. Almost unplayable due to core game mechanical bugs, such as the contracts randomly switching after accepting others, along with the delivery delay timer draining too fast and having no correlation to the ingame time
