Rise of Industry
Rise of Industry is a strategic tycoon game where you build and manage your growing industrial empire in a living, breathing, and procedurally generated world set in the 1930s that is constantly evolving and adapting to your playstyle. As a budding entrepreneur, you will build factories, construct efficient production lines, move raw materials, produce finished goods, and arrange trade with the world's developing cities, providing them with the resources they need to flourish – for as they grow and prosper, so do you. However, it won’t always be a smooth ride to magnate status. Random business events and stock auctions will keep you on your toes, all while A.I. rivals compete for market share and look for ways to grow and exploit enemy weaknesses – beware of the hostile takeover. Designed with an eye towards both accessibility and depth, Rise of Industry has enough strategic complexity and replayability to satisfy the most experienced fans of the genre, while its simple-to-understand mechanics ensure that new players will love it as well. Experience tailored for every player – Specialise in just trading, production, gathering or any combination and research your way to bigger and better things. Bid for PR contracts to get the upper-hand on your rivals.

I like this game in small doses. I probably play it for a few hours every now and again. Its good but not exceptional. If you can get it on sale then great, try it.

Great game. very fun. this is a game that I come back to over and over. This game you can put down for a while and then just pick up right where you left off. You can play with multiple different scenarios to make it more challenging or easy,. the choice is yours! Highly recommend this game.

This game is a great minimalist factory builder. Beautiful style, polished interactions, but ultimately it just runs out of things to do. It doesn’t help that the “campaign” is what I would usually consider a sandbox mode, while the actual “sandbox” is just the same thing but with infinite money and everything unlocked.

"Rise of Industry" is my go-to game for strategy and management fun. I can play it for hours without getting bored. I like how it makes me think and plan my moves. Even though sometimes I wish there were more things to do, overall it's a great game. It keeps me hooked and wanting to come back for more. If you enjoy games that make you think and keep you entertained, ROI is definitely worth checking out.

I think people leaving bad reviews due to warehouse / traffic management are being unfair. This game lets you set up to 9 different destinations for each individual node (with research), so there aren't really any problems if you enjoy micromanaging your supply chains.

I enjoy playing this game. The grind is what it's all about. Start from scratch, purchase various buildings to produce more goods and to make higher end goods. I've beat the game with the car prototype. Took a while to grind and get to that point, but man was it fun. The aim is to stay profitable while researching new products to meet the town's needs, maintain the different industries, and balancing everything out to work correctly. I think the game was well done and would recommend this to anyone interested in this type of game style. Probably going to make a YouTube series of this game to show people how it's done. Only 2.1% of all the players have gotten the Car Prototype achievement. 10/10!

I'm really enjoying this game. It's got easy menus and clean graphics. It makes a complex system pretty easy to understand. It has a LOT of difficulty options to make the simulation easier, harder, or just different. At the end of the day it's another OpenTTD clone but as far as I can tell, it's the best one.
After 10 more hours, I'm just not reaching the success I want in the game. It's very easy to do things that aren't very profitable, spread my strategy too thin, and I just don't know how to expand without losses. This is a challenging game!
