Build, optimize, prosper: the management game turns planning and economy into an addictive pleasure. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"A life-and-crafting sim set in a charming desert where rebuilding the town quickly grips you. The gather-and-build loop is generous and the cast is likeable. Load times and occasional stutter on Switch dampen the experience a little."
"Shin Megami Tensei IV on 3DS (Korean version), Atlus JRPG in a post-apocalyptic demon-infested Tokyo. Recruit demons, choose your alignment and explore multiple endings. Deep and demanding. An SMT masterpiece."
"The cult space trading simulator on NES. Trade, fight, explore the open universe. Revolutionary in its time, still fascinating in its ambition. For pure simulation fans."
"A soothing little town-builder, snappier and less demanding than its rivals. You build, freely shuffle structures and unwind. Repetition eventually creeps in, but as a cozy palate cleanser between bigger games it does its job beautifully."
"The first Ace Combat on PS1, founding the arcade aerial combat simulation genre. Varied missions, exhilarating speed sensations and intuitive gameplay. Technically dated but the starting point of a legendary franchise."
"Less a game than a soothing digital toy, where you build whimsical seaside towns by placing colorful blocks. No goals, no pressure, just the joy of building. Empty for some, meditative for others, it's a contemplative sandbox."
"Theme Hospital is Bullfrog's satirical hospital management game on PS1. Build and manage a hospital with absurd diseases and offbeat humor. Deep and accessible simulation gameplay with Bullfrog's characteristic humor. A timeless and irresistible management classic on PS1."
"Ace Combat 2 perfects the formula with more varied missions, an expanded arsenal and an even more exhilarating speed sensation. Considered one of the series' finest entries, it defined the arcade aerial combat standard on PS1."
"Trauma Team changes the Trauma Center formula by following seven doctors with different specialties in a hospital drama. Surgery, diagnosis, first response, forensics, each specialty has its own gameplay with dedicated Wiimote control. TV-series-style episodic storytelling, plot thickens steadily. Tense, educational and surprisingly moving. Atlus knows how to tell a medical story beyond scalpel simulation. Series peak."
"A dense, captivating railroad sim faithful to the Tycoon formula. Building lines, economic management and logistical operation thrill management fans."
