AdVenture Capitalist

Making money looks easy from the outside, but it’s anything but that if you try it yourself. A lot of work and dedication is involved, not to mention sacrifice. Even then, most of people won’t make it, otherwise there would be a lot more rich people out there. Thankfully, money isn’t everything, which is why there are many more happy people than there are rich people.

AdVenture Capitalist is a simple game in which your goal is very simple: make as much money as possible. In short, it’s a clicker game that mostly plays itself, but there are some interesting ideas at work that might keep you glued to the monitor for longer than you would like to admit. On the other hand, just like with every other clicker game, things get repetitive in a rush.

You start with a lemonade stand, and you have to keep clicking on it order to see a profit. The profits can then be used to by more lemonade stands, which in turn means more money. After you make enough money, you can buy a newspaper delivery course, pizza delivery, or even a hockey team. All of these bring a lot more profit, but they are also pretty expensive, as you might expect.

After a while, it gets too boring and too difficult to keep clicking on all your businesses to collect profits. To automate the process, you can hire managers, which allow you to stop clicking altogether and just watch the money come in. Naturally, it’s still your job to purchase more ventures and invest in better upgrades, but at least you can let the game do its thing in the background until you have enough cash to afford the stuff you want.

Other types of currency make an appearance later on, such as angels or mega tickets. Angels are basically investors you can attract and use to plan your future endeavors. You can exchange them for powerful upgrades and various other things, but it obviously takes a very long time to reach such a stage, especially if you stay on the free-to-play route.

In the end, AdVenture Capitalist is not meant to be played and enjoyed like an RPG or something similar, but it can be the perfect cure for boredom every now and again. The bad part is that it becomes very slow and boring after a while, especially if you do not contribute with real money.
