Industry Giant Demo

Part of being a successful entrepreneur is making a lot of money, because that is how you get enough cash to fund your next endeavor. However, profits can sometimes be the second most important thing in the agenda, because you cannot start over if everyone ends up hating you for being ruthless and taking their money in exchange for broken products.

Industry Giant is a tycoon-type game that allows you to experience the hardships of being an entrepreneur and see for yourself how difficult it can be to keep everything under control, especially when millions of dollars hang in the balance. Inside the game, you are tasked with trying to provide the people from multiple towns with a product of your choosing, but it’s not as easy as it might sound.

To start off with, you have to build everything from scratch. Factories need to be raised near the appropriate resources, manufacturing plants are required to produce your goods, and retail shops are where the clients come in contact with the product. However, you also have to create a transport route and buy the necessary vehicles, which adds even more complexity to the equation.

Just like in Transport Tycoon, you are allowed to personally buy the vehicles and set up their routes, from one end to the other. There are multiple trucks and cars to choose from, depending on what you are transporting and how much money you are willing to spend. Moreover, as you progress further into the game, managing everything might get a bit too complicated, but you are free to automate things as you wish.

As far as the visual aspect is concerned, you need to take into consideration the fact that the game was released a long time ago, back when the 3D technology was still rather new on the market. On the other hand, the isometric perspective is quite nice, while the buildings and the environments received plenty of care when it comes to modeling and the amount of visible detail.

Industry Giant comes pretty close to the idea of how a tycoon game should feel and act, although it misses some of the complexity exhibited by similar titles. However, if you are interested in the genre, then you can definitely have some fun with this, as long as you do not expect too much from the experience.
