Idle Bank Tycoon: Money Game 4+

A quick and simple game to pass the time.

At first, the game guides you through a tutorial after installing the app. It helped me know what to upgrade and how to win quests for the bank. The instructions are simple enough to understand and the quests are easy to follow along. The hard parts would be that the costs to complete the quests will increase as you go along. Finally, I love how the graphic artists for making the gameplay world looking like 3D Pixels and 2D motion images. This helps to keep the theme of the game on point for what it is.
However, the game itself is nothing epic nor strategic to actually fuss about. I’ve played different games with this kind of simple setup and this game is no different. The good thing about it is that helps pass the time when you’re not trying to play to win or gamble anything. Overall, I believe that this app is worth it if your looking for something to pass the time.

Fun concept but several issues…

I have played lots of mobile games, this is an interesting concept. The problem comes in the execution. First is the ad system, in all the games I have played, this is the most exploitive and abusive system I have ever seen. It takes forever to gain the funds to upgrade, and the costs are insane once you reach a certain point in the game. So here come the ads go in game money. At this point it should be called Idle Ad Watching Tycoon. The offered solution? Unlike most games that give you the option of paying for no ads (which given the overwhelming volume of ads, I would happily pay for) but that’s not the route this game goes for, essentially getting the game paid for, therefore not needing to penalize the player with the endless stream of ads. This game goes for a an equally exploitive and abusive model, you can buy packages of tickets that allow you to end individual ads (given the excessive volume of ads in this game, you would burn through them extremely quickly, needing to buy more.) which certainly explains the abusive volume of ads. Then there are other problems, at certain times the ad system doesn’t actually work, and the other issue is while in the ads you get sent involuntarily to the App Store, this is a frequent and quite annoying occurrence. If they drop the exploitive and abusive ad and ticket system and the forced redirects, you’ll have a great game.

“Efficiency” Issue in Business Mode

I’ve been playing for around a month now and am currently on the bank Reaching for the Skies and at level 70. I have VIP activated for 30 days and I purchased 500 gold tickets. Building the banks have gone smoothly and I’ve enjoyed the process as well as the mini games so far but Business Mode has been an issue. I have 42 managers out of the 50 possible, 16 of which are Epic and 17 of which are Legendary, and out of those 33, 20 of them are maxed out at level 100. Even with all of that and plenty of lightbulbs, ingots, and golden tickets to spend, I can’t find a way to raise my Efficiency in Business Mode to be enough to pass audits without needing more life. Sometimes the Recommended Efficiency is 20k higher than my maxed out managers can achieve. I have no idea what could possibly done by a player to get past this issue. It’s definitely something that needs attention since leveling up in Business Mode is required to complete banks.
