Cinema Empire Demo

The cinema has been around for quite a few years now, and it has evolved a lot in the meantime. From the classic black & white productions with no sound, to 4K movies sporting surround sound effects and a million other post-processing gimmicks, films have become a lot more expensive to make and watch lately, at least if you want to reach blockbuster numbers.

Cinema Empire is a simulator in which you get to build your very own brand in the film business and try to get as much money as possible. The goal is to expand until you truly reach the empire status, although the road there should be just as fun as the conclusion. Naturally, don’t expect a lot of depth from the game, given its casual nature and the rather comical take on the subject.

In order to keep an eye on your business and get a plan going, you must make use of the simple interface and try to learn the basics from the tutorial. There aren’t too many complicated things you need to do, but you fail nevertheless, especially if you don’t pay enough attention to individual figures. Statistics and reports help you keep an eye on the situation, however, so you shouldn’t lose track of your progress.

As everyone is probably aware, blockbusters happen when a lot of people come to see a particular movie, and it usually lasts for a few weeks. However, very few movies actually manage this performance, which means that it’s important to screen the ones that have the chance to do so. Hence, a bit of luck is also needed from time to time, if only to help you skip a few steps.

Visually, the game is about as colorful as possible and it features a comical graphic style as well, which is especially visible in the characters. However, this shouldn’t undermine the rest of the gameplay, because things can get pretty tough even if everything looks funky around you. The same can be said about the music, which is pretty whacky as well.

In the end, Cinema Empire is not exactly a gem of the genre, but it can fill a few afternoons if you let it. The lightweight and intuitive interface should bode well for the younger audience as well, since it’s quite simple to figure out how to handle the controls.
