Early Access Review
It's getting involved with the Battle Royale fad without having to play Battle Royale.

Truthfully, Battle Royale Tycoon is pretty fun, it's just a bit empty right now. Mechanics are pretty reminiscent of the older Roller Coaster Tycoon games, though significantly fewer options. A small choice of aesthetics to couple with the small number of "attractions" (called "arenas" and "fun" in game) makes a pretty mundane experience in terms of building your park.

The only other things to purchase other than a single type of path and queue's for your attractions are three "Park" buildings, which include a research station to add a sort of progression to your park. It's a bit telling when the entire progression is only 20 or so unlocks, many of which are simply larger forms of the already owned arenas.

It's fun to have customization for essentially every building other than the food and drink stalls, even though it's incredibly hard to gauge if there is any "purpose" to being more creative. More components to the arena change it's layout type (closed, balanced, open) which can match with guests preferences, but there doesn't feel like a lot more depth than that for building.

Personally, my lower end system doesn't keep up the best with Battle Royale Tycoon even with a fairly small park, though only when zoomed all the way out or when increasing the time above the base setting. Hang-ups and low framerate is the norm for my 650 ti, though that's reasonably expected for any current game.

Overall, it's an interesting game. A relatively unique idea, though a bit half baked as it is. As it stands, I would give this game a pass for now, though I would be happy to give it another roll further on.

Hey there,

The game has just left Early Access and it has been significantly improved thanks to all the great feedback I've received.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks!
