Game Dev Tycoon is a game where you can experience the history of gaming from the moment it was born. With continuous updates, the game always has the latest consoles and trends!
Of course the big boys of gaming like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo won’t hand over the licenses to use their console names for free. That’s why the console names in Game Dev Tycoon only give us a ‘hint’ which developer or console it could represent, and sometimes I really had to laugh at the creative names they came up with. SEGA becomes VENA, Sony becomes VONNY and the iconic iPhone simple becomes the grPhone. Because the company behind the grPhone is called “Grapple”
However, let me tell you some things about the game now. The indie developers at Greenheart Games came up with countless ideas to keep you entertained for a really long time.
I can pick from over 20 different themes, from music to zombies. All those themes can be combined with consoles and a genre like action or strategy as you wish. Obviously, Greenheart Games did not leave out the evil magazines rating your game! And that’s where the game gets quite tricky: Can you find out which theme and genre were the most popular in the past? If I create a strategy game, will I release it for computers or for the grPhone, do I spend lots of money for awesome graphics or do I want to have nice story in an action game? What age should the main audience have?
There’s a billion ways to satisfy the magazines – and once you’re done with that, you can start selling your game. With an endless variety of combinations there also is endless fun in this casual game! The best thing about this game is that you can play it for an hour every now and then without feeling bad when you have to stop!
