Ones another time Vile Monarch has entered the field of Tycoon Games. This time with a replayable life-sim tycoon game. Next to their massive made game Weedcraft Inc. Growing up does not reach the gameplay mechanical extend like in Weedcraft. Yet this doesn't come as a suprise that Growing up has focused much more on their characters with their own passions and ways of liked activites. The music is ones again on top of the line in which narrative events are also prepared with special music tracks. The locations look as charming as to put it as an own desktop background. How the game flows: You begin at birth proceeding until you are ready to see it for yourself to see what comes at the end :P ... Nonetheless spending points at the brain map and choosing the attributes make up the most important parts to progress through the game. As you be "Growing up" it is suggested to always pick up the Activtiy Points in the brain map (don't forget to click on the hexagonic symbol too like i forgot on my first playthrough). The activites you can do over the day can be quite consumive on your activity points. So you be making shure you have gathered quite enough of them over your characters lifetime. Replayability: That is one aspect which make up the recent Vile Monarch's videogames great. A Playthrough lasts from an afternoon to evening and will be met with new characters of each playthrough. At enough playthroughs you would have seen all characters and their endings first, but not all endings :P - they are highly shaped by your choices you made through out the game. This game is also available on mobile devices. As I was playing Growing up I made up the guess that Growing up would have to be exsisting on mobile too. It does indeed have mobile version to buy from the playstore. For 4,99(€) you'll be having the expierence on the go aswell!
It brings interesting Tycoon mechanics on the table. First impression is well done, but I noticed once you mastered the games mechanics it gets grindy pretty quick. Keeping up relationships, Holding buttons to do most of the stuff - luckly you have employees for that. The story moves ahead through quests with expanding your weedpire. Altough it doesn't get boring as you have many flavors, groups and approach methods to choose from. Being a bad guy is being punished with funny events. I have not expierenced them all since I don't want trouble with the cops . My biggest tip I can give to beginners is : Expand to more places, Invest smart, make relationships - it will help you a lot in the future Some qualtiy of life features are wished here... Overall it is one of the beginner friendliest Tycoon games I have ever played. Don't miss this game out if you are into Tycoon games.
