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.
"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."
"The Mega Drive port of Bullfrog's Theme Park, an amusement park simulation. Deep, funny, one of the console's best management games."
"A Microsoft space sim blending dogfighting with narrative missions. Precise controls, gripping space opera mood and cinematic staging. For Wing Commander fans."
"Wonder Project J is an Enix Japanese UFO, raising a mechanical boy by interaction. Original and touching, essential for curios."
"Tropico 6 lets you rule an archipelago with its trademark political cynicism and a management layer finally spanning multiple islands. The biting satire lands, but the interface struggles on Switch. Deep and funny, despite a rough handle on the controls."
"Rune Factory Frontier, Marvelous farming RPG sim where Raguna arrives in the floating town of Trampoli. Crop farming, animal raising, romance with townspeople, action RPG dungeon exploration. Unique Rune mechanic where energy fuels both magic and farming. Harvest Moon-typed art direction, tender pastoral atmosphere, massive runtime. Best Rune Factory according to many fans."
"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."
