Buy Mining Industries

Fun little game for about 2 hours. Nothing more, seems like the reviews that talk about deep business simulation are bought. It is not. After 2 hours at the lastest you will be bored. Needs more vehicles, machines and buildings, especially during later stages of a game. Not worth the GBP 16.00, if you really want it, wait til its on sale for a fiver.

I work in the mining industry and I like the genre. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this as a simulator of mining or, if you don't care about mining, a simulator of business. The list of problems is too long to list, but any first year economist could tell you there are a myriad things ridiculously broken in the business model.

They reviwes that "love" this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There is way to few machines and gear, and you get the best setup pretty quick. The game gets trivial and boring way to fast.

This is purely a business management simulation. If you like those type of games, this one is going to be for you and I recommend it. If you are quickly bored, not interested in economic simulations, or think you are going to be driving mining equipment around don't purchase this game.

This is a full on Buinsess simulator managment game through and through, there isnt anything fancy going here and you wont be getting into the vehicles and driving them.

This is purely a numbers game and all about running a business, if not a slighty dumb down way of running a buisiness it is still interesting trying to balance between contracts and selling on the free market whilst trying to keep a positive company image through various means such as safety, PR, maintance and labour effectivness.

You must also keep an eye on the various assets your company has and see what the bottlenecks in your company is which makes you have to decide when you should consider ordering new equipment or refreain as the market seems to be not so favorable and could cost you too much if you did expand.

£17 seems a bit steep for this game considering there is only 2 forms of resources you can choose from (iron ore & gravel), it would have been nice to see others such Bauxite, Gold, Silver etc, with the various specalist machinery that come with these.
Perhaps updates will come with these in the future.

Mabey being able to pick the site you wish to start your company and having the resources specific to that area would have been a nicer touch then starting some generic company somewhere not exatcly known.

It is a fun game if your into purely Buiness Management games, if your expecting something like Farming Sim and running your mining firm by jumping into vehicles and having your freind come and help, this isnt for you.

what a rip off. click buttons that is all you get. waste of money.

Fantastic Sim is this!
If you can stand working with figers and compeating with the demands for supply & the stock exchange messing around with the prices then this is the one for you.
You will need a clear head to succed and the knowledge of heavey plant as well as the safety matters of Mining and increasing demands for minrals!

Great Have fun!

you cant drive anyhing

too hard and confusing

I wouldnt recommend this game for the price. This game is just a numbers game. It should be priced at $4.99 MAX
