Build stunning Arcade Centre’s, purchase a range of arcades machines, manage troublesome staff in this colourful and humorous simulation management game. Inspired by Two Point Hospital, Let's Build A Zoo and Megaquarium.
The game presents a classic tycoon-style simulation where players earn money from arcade machines, upgrade and expand the arcade, and manage various aspects like staffing, power, and customer satisfaction. Players start with a basic setup and must strategically place and upgrade machines to generate revenue. Earned money can then purchase new machines, decorations, and facilities to improve the arcade and attract more customers. As the arcade grows, players must also manage staff like janitors, technicians, and security guards to maintain operations.
The 12-level campaign mode offers a structured progression system, presenting new challenges and unlocking additional arcade machines, décor, and features with each level. Completing level goals, such as reaching a certain profit or customer satisfaction threshold, allows players to advance. The campaign gradually introduces more complex management elements, providing a satisfying sense of progression as players unlock new content and refine their strategies.
In addition to the campaign, the game offers a sandbox mode that grants players full creative freedom. This open-ended experience removes structured objectives, allowing players to build and customize their arcade however they wish, with access to the full range of machines and decorations. The sandbox provides endless replayability for those who enjoy the core tycoon gameplay loop.
A key appeal is the wide variety of over 100 unique arcade machines, spanning classic retro cabinets, modern consoles, virtual reality setups, and more. Each machine has its own attributes like power consumption, reliability, and profitability, requiring players to carefully balance the mix to maximize revenue and customer satisfaction. Players can also customize machines by applying different skins and décor to match the theme of their arcade.
Managing the arcade's staff, including janitors, technicians, security guards, and entertainers, is an important gameplay element. Keeping employees happy and productive requires attending to their morale and wages, introducing strategic considerations around staffing levels, training, and resource allocation. This adds depth by challenging players to balance employee satisfaction with operational efficiency.
